To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how many meetings he has held with the Welsh Government since his appointment on 26 July 2026 to discuss its proposal to close junctions on the M4, on what dates those meetings took place, and what the outcomes of those meetings were.
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how many meetings he has held with the Welsh Government since his appointment on 26 July 2026 to discuss its proposal to close junctions on the M4, on what dates those meetings took place, and what the outcomes of those meetings were.
I have held discussions with Welsh Government counterparts on a range of issues since my appointment in July 2026.
On 6 October 2026, the Welsh Government announced an 18-month programme of work to develop road-based and engineering solutions for the M4, including consideration of the potential closure of junctions in the Newport area. Decisions relating to the M4 are devolved and are therefore a matter for the Welsh Government, but I am deeply concerned by these proposals and their impacts.
The UK Government recognises the need to address congestion on the M4. The Burns Commission recommended five new stations in South East Wales as part of a wider network of transport alternatives intended to ease congestion, improve journey time reliability and deliver economic benefits across South Wales.
At Spending Review 2025, £95 million was allocated to the Burns Stations, with an ambition to bring two stations into construction by 2029. This investment forms part of the UK Government's wider commitment of £445 million for rail enhancements in Wales.
In addition, the Prime Minister has committed to delivering Transport for Wales's vision document, which includes projects with an estimated value of up to £14 billion. These proposals would strengthen connectivity between communities and key employment centres, support new jobs and housing, and drive economic growth across Wales. By enabling more frequent, reliable and integrated public transport services, they would also provide people with a genuine alternative to the car and encourage modal shift from road to rail.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have undertaken a risk assessment on the impact of (1) the rate of closures in the hospitality sector, (2) job losses in the hospitality sector, and (3) the impact of lost investment in high streets.

The Albert bridge in Battersea has been closed for more than eight months, amid safety concerns. That is causing severe delays and disruption to my constituents and businesses alike. Bridges in Battersea and across London play a vital role in keeping London moving, so can we have a debate in...

That this House deeply regrets the announcement by high street bakery retailer Greggs that it plans to close four manufacturing sites across the UK with the loss of 740 jobs; notes that the plans involve closing manufacturing sites at Seaham, North Lakes, Kelso, and Enfield, with operations in Treforest and Manchester also seriously impacted; further notes that in the first half of 2026, the company saw its pre-tax profit increase by 19.7% to £76.0 million; joins with the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union in believing that this success would be impossible without the contribution of workers across the business, and regrets the impact which job losses would have on the individuals, families and local communities concerned; regrets that the company announced these plans further to any formal consultation process with the recognised unions; and therefore calls on the company to pause the implementation of the closures and get round the table with the unions to consider alternatives to site closures and compulsory redundancies.

To ask His Majesty's Government why the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology was closed; and on what basis they determined which departments should be assigned its responsibilities.
To ask His Majesty's Government why the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology was closed; and on what basis they determined which departments should be assigned its responsibilities.
The Prime Minister has made a number of changes to the Machinery of Government to rewire the state and drive economic growth across the country, including transforming how the Government is structured to approach science, innovation and technology, including AI.
The UK stands at a critical juncture where unprecedented global changes demand that we secure our position as a world leader in AI, science and technology. In this context, we cannot see science and technology as an isolated issue, limited to one department, but instead as a major priority that cuts across the whole of government and is vital to the UK’s future economic prosperity.
Recognising this, the functions of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) have been redistributed to align with the Government’s core economic and social agenda.

The Government’s Suicide Prevention Strategy identifies children and young people as a priority group and sets out a range of actions across education, healthcare, and online safety to help identify risk earlier, provide timely support, and reduce the number of young lives lost to suicide. We recognise the significant contribution the Papyrus HOPELINE247 has made to these efforts in recent years, and it is very sad to see the reports concerning its closure, but we will continue to ensure that every young person needing urgent mental health support knows they have somewhere to turn.

We have provided, for each office location, as at the week commencing 24 August 2026:
- the average office attendance of employees assigned to each office during the week commencing 24 August 2026; and
- the proportion of employees assigned to that office who attended an MHCLG office during the same week.
The attendance figures are not restricted to attendance at an employee's contractual office location. Both the average attendance and proportion attending measures include visits to any MHCLG office.
We would also note that the proportion attending measure does not take account of employees who were absent for legitimate reasons during the period, such as annual leave.
Employees are expected to meet their office attendance requirements over the course of a quarter, rather than in any single week.
