To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) desks, and (2) civil servants, are assigned to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology office at 22–26 Whitehall.
22-26 Whitehall has 825 desk work settings. The site is used by multiple Government departments, and official figures have not yet been updated following the creation of the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade.
On 30 June 2026, 22-26 Whitehall had 998 active DSIT civil servants as their contracted office location.

The department welcomes Become's report ‘Gone Too Far’ and its focus on getting the voices of those with care experience heard.
While some out-of-area placements are necessary to meet a child's individual needs or keep them safe, we know that living far from support networks can affect stability and wellbeing, disrupting relationships with family, friends and trusted professionals, undermining educational continuity and making it harder for children to maintain important community connections.
For some children, this can increase vulnerability to exploitation, sexual abuse and other forms of harm.
Moving a child away from their home area is a significant decision and must be approved by the Director of Children's Services, only when the move is in the child's best interests. Local authorities have ongoing duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of looked-after children, including through regular social worker oversight and a statutory requirement to notify the authority in which a child is placed.
The aim of the government's Enduring Relationships Strategy is for all children in care to have the support and stability they need to form and maintain healthy relationships throughout their lives.
Through the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026, we are strengthening information sharing and multi-agency child protection arrangements and improving the response to child sexual exploitation and other extra-familial harms. We are also investing £560 million to expand children's homes and foster care capacity and developing regional care cooperatives to help more children, including girls at risk of exploitation and abuse, access safe, high-quality care closer to home.

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment has she made of the potential merits of creating a public record of mobile mast locations.
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment has she made of the potential merits of creating a public record of mobile mast locations.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 22 of June 2026 to Question 9431.
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment has she made of the case for Government intervention in mobile mast location decisions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment has she made of the case for Government intervention in mobile mast location decisions.
Decisions on the location of mobile masts are a matter for local planning authorities, who determine planning applications and, where relevant, prior approval applications on matters such as siting and appearance. This provides an opportunity for representations to be made to the local planning authority and that they are able to take local considerations into account alongside the need for mobile infrastructure.
The Government acknowledges industry views that current planning rules can slow the deployment of digital infrastructure. In response, we launched a joint call for evidence with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) on proposals to explore whether reforming planning rules for digital infrastructure could support deployment. The government is now considering the responses and will set out next steps in due course.
Our ambition is for all populated areas to have access to higher quality standalone 5G by 2030; this is commercially led and it is for network operators to define infrastructure deployment plans that align with this.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of regional allocation of health research funding; and what steps he is taking to address differences in funding per head.

The Department funds health and care research via its research operational arm, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), across England. The Department is committed to ensuring that research is inclusive and representative of the population geographically and demographically. Inclusion is one of the top four priorities for the NIHR, reported against publicly in the NIHR Annual Report.
From November 2024 the Department made inclusion a condition of NIHR funding for all domestic research awards. All applicants must demonstrate how their research will address existing inequalities, including place-based inequalities in health and social care, and researchers will be held to account for delivering on their plans.
The Department does not allocate research funding on a per-head population basis. Funding decisions are made through open competition and peer review to ensure support for the highest-quality research. The NIHR’s funding committees prioritise research that addresses the most important health and care evidence gaps, with strong potential for impact, and also consider scientific excellence and value for money.
The Department, through the NIHR, is taking action to ensure health research funding across England by targeting research in areas with significant health inequalities, encouraging applications from a wider geographical spread of institutions, and investing in research capacity in underserved regions. This includes establishing Commercial Research Delivery Centres (CRDC), Primary Care CRDCs, Health Determinants Research Collaborations, and support for new medical schools, alongside a Research Delivery Network (RDN) that operates across all regions in England. From April 2026, a new national RDN funding model for research delivery support aims to reduce regional variation in investment and expand opportunities to participate in research across all parts of the country.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to introduce guidance for public health research funders to ensure a geographical distribution of funding.

The NIHR also published Best Research for Best Health: The Next Chapter in 2021 which identified seven areas of strategic focus, one of which was bringing more research to under-served regions. Subsequently, the NIHR published a Research Inclusion Strategy (2022 – 2027) which includes reaching underserved geographic communities. Best Research for Best Health: The Next Chapter is available at the following link:

I beg to move,

Thank you for chairing this debate, Sir Roger. The way we speak reveals so much about us. Long before we explain our politics, our profession or our background—the moment we open our mouths—our accents instantly signal a core...

I am sure I’ll be using a slightly different accent this evening when watching the football—a few expletives might come out as I shout at the TV. Does my hon. Friend agree that a part of public life is being authentic? One way to build trust and authenticity is to...

I cannot agree more with that statement; I think we are grasping that more and more. We do not have to come from the places we represent—I do not—but representing our communities does matter and it is about being ourselves. I thank my hon. Friend for that intervention.

My hon. Friend is making an important and interesting speech. Confidence is incredibly important, especially for young people. We have a huge youth unemployment crisis in this country, and part of that is down to young people not having confidence. Does she agree, first, that we must ensure that there...

My hon. Friend is absolutely right about confidence. Politicians have a lot of work to do in supporting our constituents, including children and young people in schools and the workplace. I hope we can continue having this conversation with the Department to ensure that that happens.

It certainly is. I appreciate that intervention from my hon. Friend and colleague.
The Hansard staff do a heroic job. They are always happy to write down the names of my local farmers, community groups and townlands such as Ballywalter—which we know as Whitkirk—or Kircubbin. Last week, I got a wee...
