My Lords, I will speak briefly as a member of the Delegated Powers Committee, which has produced a report on this Bill. That report concerns especially Clause 3, but it raises general issues that fall within the scope of the amendment that my noble friend has moved from the Front...

To ask His Majesty’s Government whether they intend to identify individuals, groups, organisations, businesses or bodies in the annual State of Extremism report they committed to publishing in Protecting What Matters, published on 9 March.
To ask His Majesty’s Government whether they intend to identify individuals, groups, organisations, businesses or bodies in the annual State of Extremism report they committed to publishing in Protecting What Matters, published on 9 March.
The Answer to the noble Lord is yes. Where necessary and proportionate, the report will include examples of those propagating extremism and where they have been disrupted.
That is an extremely welcome Answer. Does the Minister not agree that the antisemitism emergency is being driven not only by hostile states but by hostile non-state actors such as Hezbollah and Hamas and their agents here? Is it
therefore not essential, as he says, that the report names them to ensure that they have no access to public money, government platforms and—this is extremely important—engagement with public services such as the police? Is it not vital that they be isolated and shunned?

It is vital that those spreading extremism are tackled in every form by the state and by other parties. The Home Office will publish, as the noble Lord knows, the landmark state of extremism report by the end of this calendar year. We are delivering a fundamental reset of how we counter extremism and want to make sure that we have the tools, capabilities and partnerships to match the scale of that threat. The report itself will cover not just government action but the available support and powers on disruption, particularly relating to case studies.
My Lords, the antisemitism emergency, as the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation has described it, and the balkanisation problem of ethnic and religious division—perhaps I should say balkanisation crisis—has haunted today’s debate on the King’s Speech and clearly concerns this House deeply. Plainly, we need a more developed cohesion policy,...

To ask His Majesty's Government with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, which authorities, individuals, groups, organisations, businesses or bodies they plan to consult as part of the programme of engagement with a diverse range of communities across the country to further understand the important connection...

The government wants the widest range of lived experiences to inform its work on public service reform. The government is committed to breaking down barriers to opportunity and improving public services for everyone. That is why the Race Equality Unit’s engagement will be representative of the challenges and opportunities of different groups when accessing public services.
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, which student groups, organisations and bodies will co-design the Cohesion Charter; and on what basis will they be selected for this purpose.
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, which student groups, organisations and bodies will co-design the Cohesion Charter; and on what basis will they be selected for this purpose.
The Cohesion Charter will be co‑designed with students in collaboration with a partnership of the department, the University of Salford and the National Union of Students.
The Charter will set out the core principles that matter to students in building cohesive and sustainable communities. These principles will inform student behaviour, the review of institutional policies and civic participation.
An advisory group will be established to support delivery, oversee timelines and facilitate collaboration across the higher education sector at a national level.
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, which representatives of the community and voluntary sector they plan to consult to help deliver a community-led approach to integration.
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, which representatives of the community and voluntary sector they plan to consult to help deliver a community-led approach to integration.
Insufficient focus on our shared responsibility to support integration has, in some parts of the country, led to the creation of social silos with people living largely separate, parallel lives from mainstream UK customs and culture.
A new approach to integration will consider both the broader immigration system and what level of immigration is tenable in maintaining a cohesive society and meeting the needs of existing communities. That is why this government has committed to developing a cross-government integration strategy to help existing and new migrants effectively integrate into their communities, find sustainable work, and make a positive contribution to their area.
This will be underpinned by strong collaboration with local government and the voluntary and community sector to deliver a community-led approach to integration. We will provide more details on engagement and timelines in due course.
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, how they plan to gauge current levels of faith and belief literacy in government; how they plan to identify ways to upskill and develop an approach that improves the quality and inclusivity of policy making; and which...

For millions of people in this country, their faith and belief identity is a crucial part of their lives, and our nation is enriched by our diverse tapestry of faiths and beliefs. The Government is committed to building a Britain where all communities feel safe, and where the contributions of people of many faiths and beliefs are warmly welcomed and richly valued. Supporting faith and belief literacy in government and wider society is crucial to achieving these objectives.
Protecting What Matters sets out our commitment to faith and belief literacy, both within government and across society as a whole. This work is still in its early stages and my officials will be conducting engagement with a wide range of relevant stakeholders in the coming weeks and months.

To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, how many reports were made to the online hate crime reporting portal in each year for which figures are available; and how many investigations, prosecutions and convictions have followed.
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, how many reports were made to the online hate crime reporting portal in each year for which figures are available; and how many investigations, prosecutions and convictions have followed.
The Home Office publishes annual statistics on police recorded hate crime. However, the Government does not currently hold the requested data on the number of reports made through True Vision, nor on the number of investigations, prosecutions and convictions arising from these reports.
True Vision is the online reporting portal used by police forces in England and Wales and is funded by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
My Lords, my Amendment 765, supported by the noble Lord, Lord Rooker, would delete Clause 42(4). I will briefly read the subsection, as it is not very long:

Would the noble Baroness perhaps like to make it clear whether she believes that it is inappropriate for the sponsor of the Bill to reply to the question I have just put in Committee?

My Lords, I have four amendments in this group. Two of them cover ground already explored by other noble Lords, so I will not go over that ground again. We will simply address two of them, Amendments 540A and 862C. I will deal with the latter amendment first. Amendment 862C...

To ask His Majesty’s Government what recent progress they have made towards delivering 1.5 million new homes by the end of this Parliament.
To ask His Majesty’s Government what recent progress they have made towards delivering 1.5 million new homes by the end of this Parliament.
My Lords, an estimated 309,600 net additional homes have been built in this Parliament, but we recognise the need to push further. We are driving progress through bold planning reforms, including the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025, and a record £39 billion investment in social and affordable housebuilding. Investment in construction skills, our £16 billion national housing bank, rapid transformation of the building safety regulator—under the leadership of my noble friend Lord Roe—and initiatives such as the new homes accelerator programme will remove barriers and ensure that we build the homes we need.
I am grateful to the Minister for that Answer. Up to 100,000 new homes could be built were the Government to scrap the old, outdated EU-era nutrient neutrality regulations. Will the Government bring in new regulations to protect the environment, and scrap these old ones which are helping to deny young people and families the homes they desperately need?

New measures were introduced in the Planning and Infrastructure Act to make sure that we deal effectively with nutrient neutrality. We have had to do this without causing the impact on housebuilding that had been done under the previous Government. We have taken the steps needed. We have the nature restoration fund. Developers can work as part of this to make sure that they are able to deliver the homes and meet the needs of the environment at the same time.
