To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the VAT burden on hospitality businesses.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the VAT burden on hospitality businesses.
At £90,000, the UK has the second highest registration threshold among all 38 OECD countries, which keeps the majority of businesses, including hospitality businesses, outside the VAT system.
VAT is a broad-based tax on consumption, and the 20 per cent standard rate applies to most goods and services. The UK’s standard VAT rate is close to the OECD average of 19.3 per cent.
The Government is supporting hospitality through targeted measures, including permanently lower business rates multipliers, a £4.3 billion business rates support package to protect ratepayers seeing large bills increases as a result of the 2026 revaluation, and the temporary Great British Summer Savings scheme, which will reduce VAT from 20 per cent to 5 per cent on eligible family attractions and children's menu meals between 25 June and 1 September.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will ensure that the next BBC Royal Charter reflects the recognition of the Kernewek in the Media Act 2024.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will ensure that the next BBC Royal Charter reflects the recognition of the Kernewek in the Media Act 2024.
The BBC has a duty to reflect the diversity of the United Kingdom, both in its output and services. As set out in the recent Charter Review Green Paper, it is this Government’s ambition for the BBC to tell a unifying national story that represents all communities across the UK, and to drive growth in the nations and regions. This includes supporting the sustainability of minority language broadcasting and local media.
The Media Act ensures that, for the first time, indigenous and minority languages - including Cornish – form part of the public service remit for television in the UK, including for the BBC. It is for Ofcom, the independent regulator, to monitor compliance.
The Charter Review is considering a range of measures to ensure the BBC can continue to serve all audiences, including how it continues to support Minority Language Broadcasting.
What steps she is taking to help decarbonise the transport sector.
What steps she is taking to help decarbonise the transport sector.
Decarbonising transport is vital for our energy security and to make the transport network fit for the future. We are driving zero emission vehicle uptake and charging infrastructure roll-out; putting record investment into active travel; overhauling public transport; supporting low-carbon fuel uptake across multiple modes, including in aviation; and funding technology innovation for maritime through the multimillion-pound UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions research programme.
Meur ras ha myttin da, Mr Speaker. A key aspect of transport decarbonisation is attracting more people from cars to trains. As train journeys are generally longer, it is vital that journey time is productive, yet train wi-fi services are often hopeless. As the Secretary of State knows, Great Western Railway has been successfully trialling superfast wi-fi. Will superfast wi-fi be rolled out across all GWR trains by the end of this year, to align with public ownership,?

Mr Speaker, I think the point my hon. Friend is making is that if we want a sustainable transport network, the more people we can attract from their cars on to trains, the better. I appreciate how important good connectivity is for all those using our train network. I can tell my hon. Friend that procurement for enhanced wi-fi on all GWR long-distance services will start in the second half of this year.
Whenever the Secretary of State reviews the ZEV mandate, will she confirm that she will consider the entire electric vehicle supply chain, including the billions invested in domestic lithium mining, battery production and charge point operators, and not just the views of ICE-based legacy car manufacturers?
Whenever the Secretary of State reviews the ZEV mandate, will she confirm that she will consider the entire electric vehicle supply chain, including the billions invested in domestic lithium mining, battery production and charge point operators, and not just the views of ICE-based legacy car manufacturers?
My hon. Friend is right to point to the fact that the EV industry depends on not only automotive manufacturers but the billions of pounds in the charge point sector and the workers who underpin it. Throughout our consideration of the ZEV mandate, we will ensure that our environmental obligations are met alongside making good business sense for all relevant partners in the sector.
Even GB News is now admitting that, with small boat crossings down more than 40% this year, the Prime Minister’s strategy to smash the trafficking gangs is working. With the costly fiasco of the Conservatives’ Rwanda scheme long behind us and our relationship with our nearest neighbours and friends in France rebuilt, does the Prime Minister think that now is the time to establish a safe and legal route between planet Sigma IX and Clacton?

I am pleased that net migration is down 82%, small boat crossings are down 40%, the asylum backlog is down, we are closing asylum hotels and we deported 70,000 people with no right to be here. That is what this Government are delivering.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of credit hire vehicle costs on motor insurance premiums for consumers.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of credit hire vehicle costs on motor insurance premiums for consumers.
The cross-government Motor Insurance Taskforce published its final report in December 2025, setting out actions being taken by government, regulators and industry to help reduce premium costs. The Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) 2025 review of motor insurance claims costs helped inform this work.
The Taskforce’s report considered the contribution of replacement vehicle costs, including credit hire, to wider motor insurance claims costs and identified actions to reduce those costs. This includes work by the FCA, the Association of British Insurers, and insurers to improve the handling of claims, reduce referrals to third parties and ensure that credit hire costs are fair for consumers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that NHS workforce planning in Cornwall reflects the additional pressures placed on health services during periods of peak tourist activity.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that NHS workforce planning in Cornwall reflects the additional pressures placed on health services during periods of peak tourist activity.
Decisions about workforce planning are a matter for individual National Health Service employers, who manage this at a local level to ensure they have the staff they need to deliver safe and effective care.
The Government is committed to publishing a 10 Year Workforce Plan to set out action to create a workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress her Department has made on implementing byelaws to ban bottom trawling in the 41 marine protected areas consulted on in June 2025.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress her Department has made on implementing byelaws to ban bottom trawling in the 41 marine protected areas consulted on in June 2025.
The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) consulted last year on fisheries byelaws to restrict bottom trawling in a further 41 MPAs. These proposals covered 30,000 square kilometres or 13% of English waters. The MMO is carefully considering the very large number of responses received to the consultation, and decisions will be made in due course.
