Membership in the House of Lords

Adie was from 1988 until his retirement in 1994 as minister Lord member of the House of Lords .

In the House of Lords, he last spoke up on April 12, 1994 in the debate on the Education Bill.

In the House of Lords he spoke mainly on the subjects of education and upbringing . In May 1993, in the context of the Education Bill debate, he raised concerns about government plans to publicly fund religious schools. Adie demanded that funding should not be left to the government's discretion; Church schools rather need planning security in the interests of the students entrusted to them.

His speech on the ordination of women before the House of Lords on November 2, 1993, attracted particular attention. In December 1993, together with Alun Jones, Baron Chalfont , he supported a campaign aimed at the police investigation ( Falklands War Crime Inquiry ) of war crimes in the Falklands War , as justice cannot be established in this way. He also opposed tendencies to portray the British Army as a scapegoat .
