To ask His Majesty's Government how state-funded schools (1) choose, (2) authorise, and (3) fund, books to be made available in school libraries.
To ask His Majesty's Government how state-funded schools (1) choose, (2) authorise, and (3) fund, books to be made available in school libraries.
Within the framework of the National Curriculum, schools make their own choices about which specific books or other resources they use. Headteachers have autonomy to decide how best to spend the core schools funding that is allocated to them by the department. We encourage schools to promote reading for pleasure and trust the judgements of schools and teachers in their choice of books.
It is for individual schools to decide how best to provide and maintain a library service for their pupils.
The government’s reading framework also offers non-statutory guidance for teachers and school leaders, including on how to organise their school library, book corner or book stock to make reading accessible and attractive to readers.
This government has committed £12.5 million to provide a library in every primary school in England by the end of this Parliament, alongside £5 million for secondary schools to purchase books and reading material to support reading for pleasure.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will make it her policy to reference “sex” rather than “gender” in future departmental publications.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will make it her policy to reference “sex” rather than “gender” in future departmental publications.
The Department will continue to use the word 'gender' when it is appropriate to do so, as the Hon Member himself has done ever since arriving in Parliament. Indeed, looking back at his past contributions to oral debates, I was struck by the number of issues he has addressed with care and sensitivity over the years while using the word 'gender'.
In 2015, he talked movingly about his ambitions for his own young son and daughter, but said there was "far, far more to do if we are to eliminate the gender pay gap altogether and build the equal society that we all want". The following year, he talked with great moral clarity about the "gender inequalities" and "gender-based violence" facing young women affected by the conflict in Yemen. In 2018 and 2019, he talked again about the "gender pay gap", and in 2022, he praised the "almost identical gender balance" in pub trade employment, an observation he repeated in 2024. Finally, last year, he struck a chord with members across the House when talking about a close colleague and friend who had been affected by illness, stating: "Cancer does not care about politics. It does not care what background we come from, our age or gender, or what party we belong to. It strikes indiscriminately. It takes what it wants, and it leaves devastation in its wake."
In all these cases, the use of the word 'gender' seems perfectly appropriate, and in some instances - such as 'gender inequality', 'gender based violence', and 'gender pay gap' - these are commonly-used and widely-understood terms, which it would make no sense to strike from our collective vocabulary. I would therefore urge the Hon Member to reflect on his proposal, and possibly have a conversation with his former self on the matter.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, to provide a list of books available to prisoners in the library at HMP Highpoint, HMP Belmarsh, HMP Manchester, and HMP Wormwood Scrubs.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, to provide a list of books available to prisoners in the library at HMP Highpoint, HMP Belmarsh, HMP Manchester, and HMP Wormwood Scrubs.
As the library services at HMP Belmarsh, HMP Manchester and HMP Wormwood Scrubs are contracted out to the local authority, the library catalogues for those prisons are not held by the Ministry of Justice.
The catalogue for HMP Highpoint is attached.

The materials in question, including t-shirts and placards, were purchased under the previous government at a cost of £383.34, to support the representation of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) at the London Pride event, held on 29 June 2024.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the EU’s removal of the De Minimis exemption from customs duties for low-value goods on the volume of (a) print magazine (b) book exports to the EU.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the EU’s removal of the De Minimis exemption from customs duties for low-value goods on the volume of (a) print magazine (b) book exports to the EU.
The Government has been following the development of the EU’s customs reforms and the removal of the €150 customs duty relief for imports into the EU (including books and magazines from the UK). The Government is aware of concerns from professional publications about the impact of the EU’s changes on the sector and their proposal for a sectoral carve out. The EU's changes do not impact the rules for claiming preferential rates of duty agreed in the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. The UK has engaged the European Commission on their reforms through forums including the UK-EU Trade Specialised Committee on Customs Co-operation and Rules of Origin, and more broadly the Government is working closely with the EU at all levels to support UK businesses’ trade in and with the EU.

To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the consultation on digital ID, whether they will make printed information about the consultation available in the premises of public services, including education, local authority and health service premises.
To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the consultation on digital ID, whether they will make printed information about the consultation available in the premises of public services, including education, local authority and health service premises.
The Government has launched a national conversation to ensure the digital ID system is shaped by all communities.
The digital ID consultation will involve 8 weeks of open engagement – running from 10 March to 5 May - where anyone who wants to take part can share their views in ways that work for them. You can do this online via an online form, by email or by post.
We will also support local conversations and events across the UK to spread awareness and encourage participation. This includes roadshows, roundtables, as well as resources such as a ‘workshop in a box’ to help communities run their own discussions in ways that work for them. To request materials for ‘workshop in a box’, please email workshop@digitalid.cabinetoffice.gov.uk.
After the 8-week open engagement period, we will bring together a broadly representative group of 100-120 people from across the UK to take part in a more in-depth deliberative engagement process.

I should start by referring to my entries in the Members’ Register of Financial Interests about my books and to my background as a historian. I thank my hon. Friend for such an excellent opening question. He will be pleased to hear that the Government are to consider the resumption of the Official History Programme, which I know is of particular interest to him. Indeed, work is continuing on two previously commissioned studies: one on the history of the Joint Intelligence Committee and one on the history of the UK’s nuclear deterrent.
