To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the implications for the UK's NATO commitments of current planned levels of defence expenditure.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the implications for the UK's NATO commitments of current planned levels of defence expenditure.
The Defence Investment Plan is backed by nearly £300bn of investment of the next four years, meaning the UK will now spend 2.7% of GDP on core NATO defence spending by 2027-28. Funding and plans for increasing defence spending to 3% of GDP in the next Parliament will be set out at the next spending review, where defence will be the number one priority
Alongside NATO allies, the UK has committed to reach 3.5% of GDP on defence spending by 2035, meeting its obligations to the Defence Investment Pledge. All allies will review trajectory and spend in 2029, when NATO next reviews its capability plans.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in how many instances her Department has put mitigations for conflict of interest in place for (a) Ministers and (b) senior officials each year since 1 June 2024.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in how many instances her Department has put mitigations for conflict of interest in place for (a) Ministers and (b) senior officials each year since 1 June 2024.
There are established processes in place for the declaration and management of interests held by ministers and senior civil servants, which ensure that steps are taken to avoid a conflict of interest or manage the perception of a conflict.
a) Information about the ministers’ interests can be found in List of Ministers’ Interests, which is published quarterly.
b) In line with the guidance in the Government’s Financial Reporting Manual, details of the interests held by members of HM Treasury’s Executive Management board that may conflict with their management responsibilities are published in the department’s Annual Report and Accounts.
Data on the specific number of individual mitigation measures put in place across all senior officials is held within confidential records and localised systems. To extract and aggregate a precise historical count of individual mitigations since 1 June 2024 could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, given the Prime Minister's confirmation at the NATO summit that the UK has met the NATO target of spending 1.5% of GDP on security-related investment, if she will set out (a) which departments' budgets contributed to reaching that figure, (b) in what proportion,...

The UK has met NATO’s 1.5% defence and security-related spending target, as defined by NATO. NATO’s definition sets out that spend should be to protect our critical infrastructure, defend our networks, ensure our civil preparedness and resilience, unleash innovation and strengthen our defence industrial base. Given this definition, contributions came from a number of departments. All spending captured as part of the 1.5% is determined through the Spending Review and set out to Parliament via the Estimates process in the usual way.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the impact of the revised Green Book guidance on infrastructure investment decisions affecting rural communities.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the impact of the revised Green Book guidance on infrastructure investment decisions affecting rural communities.
The new Green Book ensures that investment decisions are no longer based solely on single metrics, such as benefit-cost ratios, and that decisions instead take into account the full range of impacts on people and places.
This new approach will shape important decisions, such as on Northern Powerhouse Rail, and ensure that government investment brings about higher living standards in every part of the country. This includes urban, rural and coastal communities.
HM Treasury has published a report on its progress in implementing the conclusions of the Green Book Review in 2025. The report can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/green-book-review-2025-one-year-on
HM Treasury regularly publishes data on spending in the nations and regions. The latest edition, published in November 2025, can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/country-and-regional-analysis-2025/country-and-regional-analysis-november-2025

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Government has considered allowing Child Benefit to be split between two parents in cases where there are established shared care arrangements.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Government has considered allowing Child Benefit to be split between two parents in cases where there are established shared care arrangements.
The government recognises that decisions around Child Benefit entitlement can be complex for separated parents who share responsibility for a child. In these circumstances, the government encourages parents to agree between themselves who should receive Child Benefit. If agreement cannot be reached, HMRC uses its discretion to pay the parent who has greater responsibility for the child. Splitting the benefit or providing alternative financial support or tax relief would be challenging due to the varying nature of shared care arrangements.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of introducing alternative financial support or tax relief for parents who provide substantial shared care for their children but are not the recipient of Child Benefit.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Multilateral Defence Mechanism on economic growth.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Multilateral Defence Mechanism on economic growth.
The Multilateral Defence Mechanism (MDM) is an innovative and creative way of financing defence spending that provides greater purchasing power, allowing participating countries to improve their capability within unavoidable fiscal constraints.
Its focus on joint procurement will aggregate demand and standardise defence procurement, pushing down the costs of buying equipment and making our money stretch further, as well as giving greater demand certainty for industry and helping to fix defence cost inflation. Stockpiling consumables on the MDM’s balance sheet will enable the UK to invest more upfront without crowding out other spending.
The MDM will provide supply chain financing – including to SMEs - to deliver orders, expand production and remove financial bottlenecks and will have the option to support early-stage R&D innovation and capability development. This will support economic growth and the development of the UK defence industrial base.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to help increase economic growth in Royal Sutton Coldfield.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to help increase economic growth in Royal Sutton Coldfield.
We want people in all corners and nations of the UK to feel the benefits of economic growth so we can raise living standards and ensure opportunities are felt everywhere. We have the right economic plan to do exactly that, particularly through devolution, investment and reform.
The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act has put Mayoral Strategic Authorities on a statutory footing for the first time, cementing a base of devolved powers through the devolution framework. Royal Sutton Coldfield falls within West Midlands Combined Authority, which benefits from government funding. WMCA will receive at least £2.5 billion in funding for 26-27 to 29-30 through their integrated settlement.
They will also receive investment through the Transport for City Regions Fund, improving transport to the city hubs, investment in HS2, the £3 bus fare cap and investment from the British Business Bank, all of which will support growth in the area.
Royal Sutton Coldfield will also benefit from the Pride in Place programme, which will provide up to £20m over 10 years. The fund will target investment to communities that need it most, addressing the visible decline on high streets and the wider public realm. Local areas will be able to decide where to invest, including things like youth clubs, libraries, community grocers, cultural venues, and health and wellbeing services.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has undertaken an analysis of the mobile connectivity and 5G network infrastructure requirements for each project in the Government Major Projects Portfolio.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has undertaken an analysis of the mobile connectivity and 5G network infrastructure requirements for each project in the Government Major Projects Portfolio.
HM Treasury has not undertaken specific analysis of the digital and telecoms requirements of each Government Major Projects Portfolio project. However, the UK 10 Year Infrastructure Strategy takes a digital-first approach to infrastructure, meaning these needs should be considered a priority as projects are developed.
The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) is working with other government departments to analyse telecoms requirements at a sector level across transport, energy and water and is leading the development of ALIGN - the government’s national infrastructure spatial tool. This is a single digital platform bringing together strategies, data and tools - including AI - to identify local infrastructure needs and constraints. The objective of this work is to provide granular modelling outputs and insights to strengthen the local evidence base for place-based infrastructure investment decisions.
