October is ADHD Awareness Month, and for many families the help on offer depends on where they live. In June, Shaffaq Mohammed, Lib Dem education spokesperson, asked the minister how family hubs will give every young person with special educational needs the same support, wherever they live.

Around 300 people work at the INEOS acetyls plants at Saltend in Hull, with some 4,000 more jobs across the Humber supply chain reported to depend on them. Dave McCobb, Lib Dem peer, has challenged the Government to step in and restart all three plants.

Did you know 8 of the top 10 recycling councils in England are Lib Dem led? Mid Suffolk, a Green majority council, ranks 162nd, and Brighton was among the worst in the country when they ran it. @ollygrender.bsky.social put the figures to the government in the Lords in April.

The Prime Minister has promised the biggest council housebuilding programme since the post-war era, but the funding is still unclear. Ben Stoneham urged the government to bring private investment into social housing, warning schemes like Help to Buy tends to push prices up, just before conference.

Questions from the floor turned to reform of the Lords and how peers can back up Lib Dem MPs. Thank you to everyone who came, and to those who stood at the back.

Chris Fox, Lib Dem business and industry spokesperson, won several important concessions from the government on the bill, improving Parliament's oversight of how these powers are used.

Third, giving Parliament a say. The steel bill gives ministers powers to take steel companies into public ownership and put public money into the industry.

Lindsay Northover worked with an independent crossbench peer on a defence for people doing humanitarian work, so they are not caught by the bill's new offences. The government accepted it without a vote.

Second, working across parties at speed. The state threats bill was rushed through Parliament, with every Commons stage taken in a single day. Dee Doocey, policing spokesperson, explained how Lib Dem peers still got a change in.

She kept pressing. In April the government brought back its own version of her change, and it is now part of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act. The minister credited her by name.

First, persistence. Claire Tyler, mental health spokesperson, won a change in the Lords to strengthen the right of children in care to stay in contact with their brothers and sisters. MPs then voted it down.

Jeremy Purvis, Lib Dem Leader in the Lords, opened the session. He introduced three case studies, each showing a different route Lib Dem peers take to make change.

Standing room only at Peers All Ears in Brighton, as conference members packed in to hear how Lib Dem peers change the government's bills. This is what you missed. 🧵
