To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they are holding with other governments about the need for an international regulatory approach to minimise the dangers of superintelligent artificial intelligence.
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they are holding with other governments about the need for an international regulatory approach to minimise the dangers of superintelligent artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has enormous potential to improve lives and drive growth but its rapidly advancing capabilities also bring serious risks. Governments must work with industry and researchers to develop effective safeguards and promote international cooperation in the interest of protecting our citizens.
Domestically, the UK is committed to a context-based regulatory approach where most AI systems are regulated at the point of use by our existing regulators, enabling targeted action where required. The UK continues to work closely with partners around the world to strengthen our shared understanding of AI's opportunities, capabilities and risks. The UK AI Security Institute (AISI) works closely with its international counterparts to share the latest information on frontier AI model capabilities and risks, especially as they relate to national security matters. The UK also chairs the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement, Evaluation and Science whose membership includes the US, the EU, France and other international partners.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 1 July (HL1362), which international initiatives specifically addressing conflict-related sexual violence the United Kingdom currently leads or co-leads; and, for each initiative, what are the UK's role, objectives and expected measurable outcomes.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 1 July (HL1362), which international initiatives specifically addressing conflict-related sexual violence the United Kingdom currently leads or co-leads; and, for each initiative, what are the UK's role, objectives and expected measurable outcomes.
The Government remains committed to preventing and responding to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). Central funding to tackle CRSV has been protected at £3.85 million per year for the next three financial years, through to April 2029. The Government has also stepped up our support to survivors of CRSV this year in contexts including Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Whilst our work on CRSV and gender-based violence runs through different programmes in these countries, we announced a multi-year £20 million programme to specifically support survivors of CRSV to access medical and psychological support in Sudan. In March, the UK announced £7.3 million in extra humanitarian support to communities affected by escalating conflict in eastern DRC and the wider region. This includes £2 million for the International Committee of the Red Cross providing emergency healthcare, including trauma surgery and specialist support for survivors of sexual and gender‑based violence in the DRC.
Survivor reach is calculated using implementing partners' monitoring data against agreed programme results frameworks. The form of assistance and duration vary according to programme design. Partners are required to apply agreed reporting methodologies and safeguards which minimise double counting.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to seek an international agreement on prohibiting the development of super-intelligent AI.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to seek an international agreement on prohibiting the development of super-intelligent AI.
The Government takes seriously the potential risks from increasingly capable AI systems, including the possibility of systems behaving in unintended or unforeseen ways. Our priority is to ensure that the British people are protected as these technologies develop.We will follow the evidence and take whatever proportionate action is necessary where serious risks emerge.
The UK works with bilateral and multilateral partners to advance secure, trustworthy, and responsible AI across countries, built on a shared understanding of capabilities and risks, including through the International AI Safety Report and the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement, Evaluation and Science, which the UK is currently Coordinator of and which met recently in Seoul to discuss best practice in AI evaluations.

I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement on 8 September, which explains that the financial measures in the Statutory Instrument will further reduce the Government of Iran's ability to access the UK financial system and raise funds in support of its nuclear programme. The legislation also expands our powers to sanction ships - strengthening our ability to target ships enabling and facilitating Iran's nuclear programme and malign and destabilising behaviour.
As part of the UK's responsible approach to the use of sanctions, the Government continues to work closely with international partners to ensure our sanctions are effective and to minimise opportunities for sanctions evasion, or unintended consequences.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the answer of 22 July 2026, to Question 18834, on Department for Culture, Media and Sport: International Cooperation, whether there is a consolidated list of international agreements that the core Department has signed since July 2024.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to his Department's document entitled The United Kingdom strongly condemns the Houthis’ decision to resume conflict in Yemen and their continued strikes on Saudi Arabia: UK statement at the UN Security Council, published on 10 September...
The Houthis' decision to resume conflict in Yemen, attack Government of Yemen positions, advance towards the Bab al-Mandeb, and launch strikes against Saudi Arabia is reckless and unacceptable, following years of efforts to constructively engage them in dialogue towards peace. It has endangered and displaced innocent civilians, undermines regional stability, and threatens one of the world's most important trade routes.
The Bab al-Mandeb Strait connects the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, a crucial maritime corridor for a significant proportion of global trade. Any disruption therefore increases costs for businesses, undermines supply chains and puts further pressure on the UK economy. This is why our focus remains on helping to protect civilians, supporting regional stability and encouraging de-escalation. The UK continues to work closely with like-minded partners on maritime security and efforts to safeguard freedom of navigation through the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues and international counterparts on the potential merits of introducing an additional tax on high-polluting corporations to fund the tackling of pollution caused by such companies.

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) is our key lever to ensure those companies who are responsible for carbon emissions pay for them.
Introduced in January 2021, the UK ETS covers 25% of UK emissions across the power sector, energy-intensive industry, domestic and UK–EEA flights, and domestic maritime.
Revenues from the scheme accrue to the consolidated fund and support spending on government priorities, which includes net zero objectives.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of reductions to Science and Technology Facilities Council programmes on the UK's international scientific partnerships.

Major international subscriptions, including participation in world-leading facilities and collaborations, are being fully protected through Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)’s prioritisation decisions. This safeguards UK access, influence and leadership in international scientific partnerships. Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), as part of UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), completed an evidence-based prioritisation exercise to ensure its portfolio remains financially sustainable and focused on the highest-priority scientific opportunities. Options were assessed against scientific excellence, long-term research impact, strategic importance to the UK and international leadership. Prioritisation decisions relating to individual projects do not impact the UK’s overall commitment to membership of international research infrastructure like CERN and SKAO.

I do agree. The UK Government’s engagement on the global plastics treaty, in alignment with the European Union and other nations, is looking to resolve that exact issue. Microplastics that get into the human biology can significantly heighten the risk of cancer and other problems, and they are a persistent...

I absolutely agree. Marine protection and a viable fishing industry are not competing interests; they depend on each other. It is impossible to fish from a stock that has collapsed, and coastal communities cannot be sustained by paper promises about future abundance. I agree that the question needs to be...
