I take that to mean that, although the National Crime Agency will not be put into the lead, it will have an enhanced role. Is that what the Minister said?

Defra and the Environment Agency will be the lead, but we will work absolutely hand in glove with those other agencies to make sure that they effectively tackle the problem we have. As I say, we will monitor anyway so, if we find that it needs changing in any way...

The Government's policy of not commenting on individual personnel matters remains unchanged, but where the Humble Address process required the disclosure of relevant documentation, we have met those requirements. I refer the Hon. Member to the Government's statement and release of information on 1 June. The documents published in the first and second tranches contain the entirety of the documents the Government has available for disclosure, except those being withheld at the request of the Metropolitan Police.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what screening, safeguarding and risk-assessment procedures will be applied before individuals seeking asylum are accommodated at Site A at MoD Bicester.
No final decision has been made regarding the use of Site A at MoD Bicester for asylum accommodation, and no final decision will be taken until the necessary assessments, planning permissions and approvals have been completed and properly considered.
When a person claims asylum, the Home Office conducts mandatory identity and security checks. The biographic and biometric data are checked against relevant Home Office systems and police criminality databases including domestic and international data so we can establish whether the person is a threat to public safety and supports appropriate referrals to statutory agencies where required. The asylum screening part of the process is based on an interview aimed at establishing: any vulnerabilities, any threat to the UK/UK interest, their journey to/history in the UK and the basis of their claim.

I refer the Noble Lady to the answers given to House of Commons questions UIN 115826, 115828 and 120374: “Staff from across the Cabinet Office including but not limited to the Public Inquiry Response Unit and the Propriety and Constitution Group are involved in compliance with the Humble Address motion as necessary.”
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce delays in the processing of Disclosure and Barring Service check; and what assessment she has made of the impact that such delays have on individuals awaiting employment.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce delays in the processing of Disclosure and Barring Service check; and what assessment she has made of the impact that such delays have on individuals awaiting employment.
As an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body of the Home Office, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is operationally independent and responsible for the service it provides.
The DBS operates to service standards of completing 85% of Basic check applications within two days, 85% of Standard check applications within three days, and 80% of Enhanced check applications within 14 days. Its latest performance data against those service standards is available here. DBS dataset 1: DBS checks, the DBS Update Service, and disputes - GOV.UK
Achievement of the Enhanced check performance target continues to be impacted by delays at the police checking stage. DBS’s is working to improve performance for Enhanced DBS checks. This focuses on prioritising cases and supporting those police forces not attaining agreed turnaround times, including working with forces on recruitment. DBS is also working on enhancing matching algorithms and collaborating strategically with National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC).
I appreciate the impact delays in processing checks can have on those awaiting employment. Nonetheless, it is of utmost importance from a safeguarding perspective that DBS and police forces make the correct decisions to ensure that applications are processed accurately and correctly.

The Prime Minister made the decision to withdraw Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to the United States on 11 September 2025. The decision was made in light of the publication of emails written by Peter Mandelson that showed that the depth and extent of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was materially different from that known at the time of his appointment.

It is long-standing practice that we do not comment on confidential details in individual vetting cases. We cannot publicly discuss the details of individual vetting cases, as doing so would compromise the trust, confidentiality and candour required for the national security vetting (NSV) process to retain its effectiveness as a safeguard. NSV, which is one of a suite of personnel security mechanisms, relies on individuals feeling comfortable sharing sensitive, private information with UKSV.
Regarding due diligence, I refer the Hon Member to the Government’s statement and release of information on 11 March and 1 June, providing an update on the response to the Humble Address.
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to limiting the amount of data that (1) guardian companies, and (2) tenancy reference checking agencies, can request from applicants.

Landlords have tools to assess applicants looking to rent or occupy a property, such as through referencing checks. The Government encourages landlords to make sure that these checks are proportionate. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to determining whether any given tenancy or a licence to occupy a property will be suitable or sustainable.
Through the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, we have taken direct action to make clear that private landlords must stop discriminatory practices against households with children or receiving benefits in the private rented sector. While these measures do not apply to licenses to occupy, the Department continues to monitor trends across the private rented sector and is conducting a robust evaluation of the impact of the Renters' Rights Act 2025.
