That this House is deeply concerned by the actions of Bellway Homes Limited, including the current Bellway appointed directors of Bluenote Apartments Management Company Limited, Francis Dickinson, Paul Hayes and Colin Marshall in connection with homes the company built at Bluenote Apartments, Hayes, Middlesex; notes the failure to remedy developer defects, failure to provide annual accounts on time to residents or any justification for how residents money is being spent, charging unjustified service charge demands, refusing to provide underlying receipts and invoices for expenditure in breach of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, allowing residents’ money, including reserve funds, to be unaccounted for, placing undue pressure on residents to take over the management of the building and exposing them to personal liability, knowingly charging residents for fixing defects that the developer is responsible for, facilitating and being indifferent to the negligence of the property managers put in place by the Bellway appointed directors, failing to transfer the freehold to the residents’ management company as contractually required, contrary to the sales contract appointing additional directors to the management company, and failing to act in the best interests of residents; and urges the Government to bring forward a strengthened Leasehold Reform Bill to put an end to this malpractice.

That this House considers that the main focus of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) should be on tackling pressing issues arising from the conflict in the Middle East alongside emerging and ongoing crises across the globe; regrets however that the ongoing restructuring exercise has created an industrial dispute with members of the Public and Commercial Services Trade Union since November 2025; notes that PCS members have now voted for Industrial Action with 78% of members voting for strike action and 97% voting for action short of strike action in an industrial ballot on 22 June; supports calls by PCS that the dispute could be resolved by pledges of no compulsory redundancies, roles to be advertised for internal applicants in the first instance, evidence that equality impacts and potential discriminatory outcomes have been fully assessed and mitigated; further notes the calls by both the International Development and Foreign Affairs Select Committees to pause the restructure proposals; and agrees that pausing the restructuring with the Department should take place immediately and that FCDO should now engage in meaningful dialogue in order to address all the issues and concerns of the staff and trade union.

That this House notes with concern the escalating industrial dispute between London South Bank University (LSBU) and University and College Union (UCU) over fire and rehire proposals to terminate the contracts of all academic staff and require them to compete in a redundancy selection process as part of a restructuring of roles; is concerned these proposals will establish a two-tier academic workforce, increase working time without a corresponding pay increase, and see new teaching and scholarship staff employed through a subsidiary company outside the national pay framework and without access to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme; believes these proposals could have disproportionate equality impacts, particularly for women working in nursing and midwifery; regrets LSBU has declined to participate in ACAS talks to resolve this dispute, as suggested by UCU; recognises the essential contribution of LSBU staff to higher education and to the education of much of London’s nursing workforce; expresses solidarity with UCU members who have already taken strike action in defence of their jobs, pay and working conditions; calls on LSBU to suspend these proposals, undertake a full equality impact assessment and engage in meaningful negotiations with recognised trade unions to achieve a negotiated settlement that protects staff, students and the university’s long-term future; and further calls on the Government to work with the sector and unions to halt the growing use of redundancy threats and subsidiary companies across the higher education sector undermining national pay, pensions and employment standards, and to ensure a sustainable funding settlement for higher education.
