To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of Palestinian healthcare workers detained in Israel.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) Health Cluster data provides information on the number of Palestinian healthcare workers detained and arrested. The UK government regularly engages with Israeli counterparts to express concern about the detention of Palestinian doctors and other detainees. We have been consistently clear that all detainees, including doctors, must be treated with dignity and in full accordance with international law. The UK continues to urge the Government of Israel to allow the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) immediate and unfettered access to all detention facilities and detainees.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on increasing skills in the net zero sector through the Local Growth Fund.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on increasing skills in the net zero sector through the Local Growth Fund.
The Local Growth Fund in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland gives local partners the flexibility to invest in transformational projects that reflect local priorities to drive economic growth.
It enables those who know their area best to invest in projects which improve skills and employment opportunities, including those in the net zero sector.
I welcome the £14 million of funding released this month to create opportunities for young people in my constituency. The money will train them in jobs for construction in net zero sectors. Does my hon. Friend agree that the approach that the Government have taken to empowering and funding local stakeholders to grow local economies should be adopted by the SNP Scottish Government?

Does my hon. Friend agree that the approach that the Government have taken to empowering and funding local stakeholders to grow local economies should be adopted by the SNP Scottish Government?
Since summer ’25, the Department has been working in partnership with the offices and partners in each nation to deliver the local growth fund in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We are committed to ensuring that funding is spent on projects that really matter to local people. It is really important that every arm of Government, regardless of where it is in the UK, drives down on that investment so that local people feel empowered in the places where they live.
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help increase skills in low carbon sectors in Edinburgh.
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help increase skills in low carbon sectors in Edinburgh.
As my Honourable Friend will be well aware, earlier this year we unlocked £25 million of seed capital for the Forth Green Freeport to create tens of thousands of jobs in clean energy and manufacturing.
Already we are seeing the benefits in Edinburgh. The Port of Leith has transformed itself into an offshore wind hub, currently servicing the massive InchCape development. There is the potential for further investment by the wind turbine manufacturer Vestas, which could create up to 500 new jobs at the port.
Skills policy is devolved to the Scottish Government and it is up to them to ensure that the young people of Edinburgh are equipped to take advantage of these opportunities.

The Government recognises that online platforms are significant enablers of sexual exploitation. They must be responsible and held accountable for content on their sites, including taking proactive steps to prevent their sites being used by criminals. Victims of sexual exploitation make up a notable proportion of referrals to the National Referral Mechanism. The most recent annual statistics show that in 2025, sexual exploitation (either partly or wholly) accounted for 15% (3,607) of all referrals.
In December 2025, the Government committed within the “Freedom from Violence and Abuse: a cross-government strategy to build a safer society for women and girls”, to address many aspects of prostitution and sexual exploitation within England and Wales. Commitments include reviewing legislation, raising awareness among frontline agencies of what constitutes adult sexual exploitation, and strengthening police disruption of sexual exploitation. Further details on each of these commitments will be announced in due course.
The Government is also working closely with law enforcement to tackle the drivers of trafficking for sexual exploitation, including through operational activity aimed at tackling modern slavery threats, ensuring they have the tools they need to disrupt sexual exploitation facilitated online and targeting prolific perpetrators.
This financial year (2026/2027) the Home Office is providing over £10.7m to the Tackling Organised Exploitation (TOEX) Programme to improve the law enforcement response across a number of threat areas, including modern slavery and human trafficking, organised immigration crime, county lines, adult and child sexual abuse and exploitation. This funding is used to deliver a range of specialist intelligence and analytical capabilities across threats, including supporting law enforcement partners with an adult service website referral pilot, where adverts are referred to TOEX to support operational activity.
The Online Enablers Working Group, previously the Adult Services Website Working Group, is a multi-agency working group. The working group comprises of law enforcement, policing, policy officials and regulators, including the National Crime Agency, Home Office officials, police officers, TOEX and Ofcom. The Home Office does not intend to publish information or documents from meetings, as this could undermine future policy development.
The Home Office has provided dedicated funding to support law enforcement agencies to purchase software licenses to identify and tackle sexual exploitation as part of routine work and project work in the following financial years:
- In 2021/2022- £100,000 was made available to police forces in England and Wales
- Between 2022 and 2026, the Modern Slavery Fund supported the provision of software licences to international law enforcement partners in Romania and Brazil, with a total of £98,608 (mostly Official Development Assistance) allocated over this period. This activity aimed to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to conduct more effective and timely investigations, improving the identification and safeguarding of victims of sexual exploitation trafficked across routes linking Brazil, Romania and the UK.
- In 2025/2026 – £356,000 was given to Bedfordshire police to pilot a national law enforcement hub for tackling sexual exploitation. Approximately £7,000 of this was made available to spend on licenses.

I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 18 September 2025 to Question 72500. The latest information on Israel export licences has since been updated on 20 April 2026 and is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/export-control-licensing-management-information-for-israel.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many export licenses for arms and defensive equipment between the UK and Israel are currently active.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many export licenses for arms and defensive equipment between the UK and Israel are currently active.
The UK Government published specific information relating to export licensing to Israel on 20 April 2026, covering extant export licences on 28 February 2026. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/export-control-licensing-management-information-for-israel).
At that date, there were 203 extant military licences to Israel. These include 89 for components for items to be re-exported from Israel to third countries, 37 licences for the export of items to commercial companies (such as for testing or demonstration purposes), and 9 covering military grade equipment for academic or civilian purposes (including protective equipment for non-combatants).
68 remained extant where the Government of Israel is the end-user or a potential end-user. These include parts for trainer aircraft, missile defence systems, or components for submarines – which were not assessed to have combat utility in current military operations in Gaza.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what estimate she has made of the number of aid trucks entering Gaza in a) April and b) May 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what estimate she has made of the number of aid trucks entering Gaza in a) April and b) May 2026.
I refer the Hon Member to the statement made to the House by the Foreign Secretary on 9 June, where - in setting out the action being taken by the UK in response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza - she said that barely half the level of the 4,200 trucks a week promised in the 20-point Peace Plan are currently entering Gaza.
