To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will consider the potential merits of publishing the search history for strip searches at the local force level disaggregated by age, gender, and ethnicity.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will consider the potential merits of publishing the search history for strip searches at the local force level disaggregated by age, gender, and ethnicity.
The Government recognises that strip search is one of the most intrusive powers available to the police and that its use must be lawful, necessary, proportionate and subject to robust safeguards, particularly where children and vulnerable people are involved. Use of strip search powers should be on the basis of operational need in line with the legal thresholds. We are considering reforms to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Codes of Practice to strengthen safeguarding, accountability and transparency. The Home Office publishes data on strip searches conducted in custody and following stop and search as part of the annual statistical bulletin Police powers and procedures England and Wales statistics - GOV.UK, and continues to work with police forces to improve the quality and completeness of this data. This data includes information on self-defined ethnicity, sex, age, search location, supervisory involvement, appropriate adult attendance and safeguarding referrals, helping to improve transparency, scrutiny and understanding of disproportionality. There are currently no present or future obligations for police forces as part of the data collection requirements supporting the publication of this bulletin to send the Home Office additional characteristics of child vulnerability such as child in need status, looked after child status, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities status and medical vulnerabilities status. However, these data may be held directly by individual forces. As part of the annual statistical bulletin, the Home Office also collects and publishes information on the number of strip searches. However, this data is not linked to previous years. The most recent data is available on gov.uk: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69d50cc885ac94fabd46251c/custody-person-data-pivot-tables-year-ending-march-2025.xlsx Published data show that drugs are the most common reason for strip searches. Police may use search powers to search for prohibited items, including drugs, offensive weapons and stolen property, where the relevant legal thresholds are met. Recent increases in arrest rates following stop and search, shown in the Home Office’s annual data publication, suggest that these powers are being used in a more targeted manner. The Government keeps the use of strip search powers under review, informed by published data, inspection findings and stakeholder engagement, including recommendations from the Children’s Commissioner. Operational decisions on the use of police powers, and local recording practices, remain matters for individual chief constables. |

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the average age at which first-time buyers purchase a home in England; and what assessment they have made of the impact of housing affordability on younger households.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the average age at which first-time buyers purchase a home in England; and what assessment they have made of the impact of housing affordability on younger households.
I refer the Noble Lord to the English Housing Survey, available on GOV.UK (here), which shows that the average (mean) age of first-time buyers in England was 34 in 2024-25.
This government recognises that the affordability challenges facing prospective first-time buyers mean that too many people are now locked out of homeownership. In addition to increasing the supply of homes of all tenures, the government is supporting people into home ownership, including through the shared ownership scheme and the Lifetime ISA, and is consulting on a new first-time buyer ISA product.
First time buyers also benefit from paying no Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) up to £300,000 and are able to claim relief on purchases up to £500,000. The government has also introduced a new, permanent Mortgage Guarantee Scheme, available to support and sustain availability of low deposit mortgage products for prospective buyers.
Additionally, the Bank of England has been easing the loan-to-income limit, enabling up to 36,000 additional first-time buyers in the first year. The Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) ongoing review of the mortgage market means many buyers can now borrow 10% more towards a property purchase.

The legislated timetable for the State Pension age to rise to 68 is between 2044 and 2046. The previous government publicly committed to raising the State Pension age to 68 between 2037 and 2039, and the OBR has reflected that position since 2018
In July 2025, the government announced the launch of the third review of the State Pension age, which is required by legislation. This statutory review is considering whether the rules around pensionable age are appropriate, taking into account latest life expectancy data and other relevant factors and evidence. This review is ongoing. The Government cannot pre-empt the outcome of the State Pension age Review.
