To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment, due in 2027, will include the impact of climate damage not be covered by insurers as a priority risk area.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment, due in 2027, will include the impact of climate damage not be covered by insurers as a priority risk area.
The Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment will be informed by the risks laid out in the Climate Change Committee’s Fourth Independent Assessment of Climate Risk (CCRA4-IA), which include a number of risks which incorporate the availability of insurance in their assessment of vulnerability and exposure to climate hazards. Part of this assessment, The Well Adapted UK Report, includes eight priority risk areas, including ‘risks to the availability of insurance’ and will feed into our development of the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment which will be published in 2027.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the availability of affordable flood insurance for households and businesses in Hamilton and Clyde Valley constituency.
Flood Re supports affordable, available flood insurance across the UK and has enabled 96% of households at high risk of flooding to obtain quotes from 15 or more insurers. Businesses are not eligible for Flood Re but can access cover through the competitive commercial market, including specialist products tailored to different flood risks. We have not made any specific assessment of this constituency area.

The Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade does not require users of the General Trade Licence to disclose the number of cargoes involved in the movement of liquified natural gas from the Yamal LNG and Sakhalin-2 terminals. Users of the General Trade Licence are required to notify the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation within thirty days of making use of the licence. The licence is set to expire on 1 January 2027. The Government keeps the licence under continual review.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what support the Department offers to both households and businesses who are unable to secure insurance following repeated flood events.
Flood Re, the joint Government and industry scheme, supports households to access floods insurance. Households and businesses can use the British Insurance Brokers’ Association Find Insurance Service and Flood Insurance Directory to identify specialist providers. Parametric insurance can provide business insurance for pre-agreed events, with choices of premiums for multiple levels of risk.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many vessels have been found to have invalid or insufficient insurance following challenge through the Voluntary Insurance Reporting Mechanism since March 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many vessels have been found to have invalid or insufficient insurance following challenge through the Voluntary Insurance Reporting Mechanism since March 2026.
I refer the hon Member to the answer I gave on 10 September 2026 to question UIN 26734 regarding the Voluntary Insurance Reporting Mechanism. The Department for Transport is unable to provide a breakdown on the vessels that have been challenged by the Voluntary Insurance Reporting Mechanism as this information could compromise the effectiveness of the mechanism, only benefitting our adversaries.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Coaker on 15 September (HL2810), whether they ensure that Equiniti and Sopra have insurance cover for negligence; and if so, whether liability of the insurance provider for the damage caused by miscalculation has been investigated.

Equiniti Paymaster and Sopra Steria Ltd (UK) are private companies independent of Government. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has contracted Sopra Steria Ltd since May 2020 to provide pension administration services. Equiniti Paymaster delivers payment services as a subcontractor to Sopra Steria and has no direct contract with the MOD.
The immediate priority for the MOD, Sopra Steria and Equiniti Paymaster is to identify affected cases, correct pension entitlements, and ensure members receive accurate information about their individual circumstances. Support is provided throughout, including tailored repayment plans and personalised financial and welfare assistance from Veterans Services. Where applicable, pension members may request an overpayment write-off from the MOD in accordance with HM Treasury's Managing Public Money guidelines, available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/managing-public-money.
Affected members have been notified in phases, with timing dependent on the nature and complexity of each case as reviews and assessments were completed. Most cases have been addressed, though some complex cases remain under review to confirm entitlement accuracy.
The delay in notifying affected pension members after initial identification of the issue was cause by the need to assess the full extent of the error, accurately identify all the affected individuals, and validate cases before corrective action could commence. His Majesty's Government recognises that errors in pension payments may cause uncertainty for individuals and regrets any concern resulting from delayed notifications. Measures have been strengthened to improve oversight and prevent recurrence.
The MOD's contractual arrangements with Sopra Steria include provisions relating to liabilities, insurance and risk management, with contractor performance managed through established commercial and governance processes. Investigations into the causes of errors are ongoing to establish root causes and whether any contractual obligations have been breached. These findings will guide any contractual remedies.

The Government continues to use sanctions to constrain Russia's ability to fund its illegal war in Ukraine, having sanctioned more than 3,400 individuals, entities and ships under the UK's Russia sanctions regime.
The Government keeps all sanctions measures under continual review to ensure they are implemented effectively and support our wider objective of increasing pressure on Russia. We remain committed to reducing Russian energy revenues, the single most important source of financing for Russia's war in Ukraine, including through targeting the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sector. It is our long-standing policy not to comment on potential future sanctions designations, specifications or enforcement decisions, as doing so would risk lessening their impact.
We would point you to the Exploratory Memorandum issued in May: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2026/543/pdfs/uksiem_20260543_en_001.pdf

I can think of at least two buildings in my constituency that have been determined urgent life-critical but cannot be remediated because of delays in getting the certificates they need from the Building Safety Regulator. That leaves residents facing large insurance costs, unable to sell, and stuck with damp and...

I am struck that the hon. Member used the phrase “collective national response” to start his remarks. As a Scottish MP, I am conscious that this is a UK-wide endeavour, but four different Governments could be looking at it. If work is accelerated in one part, pressure can be put...

The hon. Gentleman is right to say that one main handbrake to remediation is national resourcing. There are simply not enough fire safety engineers or specialist companies that can do this remediation work on a fast timescale. That problem exists not only between Scotland and England but within the English...
