What advice she has given the Government on the potential impact of removing jury trials in certain circumstances on the rule of law.
What advice she has given the Government on the potential impact of removing jury trials in certain circumstances on the rule of law.
Jury trials remain a cornerstone of our justice system, and will always be in place for the most serious crimes. The Government must guarantee everyone a fair trial. Timeliness is essential for fairness, and the fairness of the system is being undermined by the record backlogs in the Crown court, which we inherited from the previous Conservative Government.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will set out in detail where he expects to be able to fulfill the commitment of £10.7bn included in the spending projections on page 73 of the Defence Investment Plan.
Defence is committed to efficiency and ensuring every pound spent on Defence is used in the best way for our Armed Forces and the taxpayer. Section 4 of the Defence Investment Plan (DIP), published 30 June 2026, outlines our extensive Reform and Efficiency Plan. The total efficiency commitment of £10.7 billion over the period FY2026-27 to FY2029-30 identified in the Defence Investment Plan is broken down by key delivery area at Table 18. This includes service redesign, reductions to the Civil Service workforce, reduced expenditure on External Assistance, leveraging the use of digital and AI, driving efficiency through our estate and infrastructure and a reformed approach to acquisition. The detail of which is set out in Section 4 of the DIP. Table 21 provides a breakdown of the expected delivery of this efficiency target across each year from 2026-27 to 2029-30, split by Resource Departmental Expenditure Limit (RDEL - with a total target of £7 billion) and Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit (CDEL - with a total target of £3.7 billion), and the level of maturity of these plans. Delivery is backed by an additional £500 million investment from the Exchequer as part of a ring-fenced Transformation Fund to accelerate productivity enhancing investments.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will consider allowing the export of live animals to the EU as part of the dynamic alignment provisions of the proposed sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the EU.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will consider allowing the export of live animals to the EU as part of the dynamic alignment provisions of the proposed sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the EU.
The Government does not currently prohibit the export of live animals to the EU, except for slaughter and fattening. This Government is currently negotiating a Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement to make agrifood trade with our biggest market cheaper and easier, cutting costs and regulatory barriers for British producers and retailers. These negotiations are ongoing, and this Government will not be providing a running commentary. Details of the Agreement are subject to negotiation, but this Government has been clear about the importance of being able to set high animal welfare standards.

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is the Government’s independent official forecaster and is responsible for producing economic and fiscal forecasts.
The OBR has included assessments of the economic impacts of leaving the EU in its forecasts since 2016. In March 2020 the OBR estimated that GDP will be 4% lower in the long run than it would have been had the UK not withdrawn from the EU. As of the Spring Forecast 2026, the OBR’s assumptions were unchanged from its previous assessment.
The OBR is required to produce a Forecast Evaluation Report (FER) each year under the Budget Responsibility and National Audit Act (2011). The OBR is required to explain the reasons for divergence between its forecasts and subsequent outturns, to support future forecast improvements. The OBR’s latest FER was published in June 2026 and can be found on its website.

At a time of great global uncertainty, we must deepen our relationships with allies whose values we share and whose interests are tied to our own. This is why we will pursue a closer relationship with the EU where it is in our national interest to do so.
The Government is committed to providing appropriate analysis of any agreement that ius made with the EU. The Government estimates that the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS) and Emissions Trade Scheme Linking (ETS) will add up to £9 billion to the UK economy by 2040.
The 2025 UK-EU Common Understanding sets out that the SPS, ETS and electricity agreements will include appropriate financial contributions.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the impact of leaving the EU on the underlying growth rate of the UK economy; and what recent analysis her Department has undertaken on that issue.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is the government’s official forecaster. The OBR has included assessments of the economic impacts of leaving the EU in its forecasts since 2016. In March 2020 the OBR estimated that, as a result of the deal negotiated by the then government, GDP will be 4% lower in the long run than it would have been had the UK not withdrawn from the EU. As of the Spring Forecast 2026, these assumptions are unchanged from its previous assessment.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many times the assessments made by UKSV arising from the developed vetting of individuals proposed for public appointments since the enactment of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 come into force.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many times the assessments made by UKSV arising from the developed vetting of individuals proposed for public appointments since the enactment of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 come into force.
UKSV does not centrally categorise individuals by their specific terms of appointment, such as whether they are a public appointee.
In line with the practice followed by successive administrations, the Government does not otherwise comment on security matters, including providing granular data on the volumes of specific clearance types.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, which Ministers are responsible for overseeing the implementation of the recommendations of the Nuclear Regulatory Review 2025; and if he will set out the timeline for their implementation.
The recommendations of the Taskforce will radically move the dial on the regulatory regime for civil and defence nuclear in this country, and ministers from a number of government departments will have a role in overseeing the implementation of the recommendations of the Taskforce.
As the Chancellor set out at Budget, we will present a full government response to the review within three months, taking account of our international obligations, national security considerations, and planning, environmental and court processes.
The government will complete implementation within two years, subject to legislative timelines on elements requiring primary legislation.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent progress he has made with Cabinet colleagues on allocating funding for the proposed A1331 link road.
£100m from the Housing Infrastructure Fund has been provided to Essex County Council to deliver Phase 1 of the A1331 Link Road, which is under construction. We have been working closely with the council and are expecting them to submit a formal request to Homes England for additional funding to deliver Phase 2 shortly. This request will be considered under the standard Housing Infrastructure Fund processes, and a decision will be made in due course.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station on the surrounding heritage buildings.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station on the surrounding heritage buildings.
The initial plans brought forward by a previous developer have now been replaced by a revised scheme. This new approach seeks to address heritage concerns while preserving the benefits of commercial development. Crucially, it enables significant improvements to the station’s capacity and facilities without any cost to the taxpayer.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station on the economy.
The redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station will enable £500m investment in the busiest station in the UK at no cost to the taxpayer. Officials in my Department are engaged with Network Rail Property and Planning teams around the redevelopment proposals for Liverpool Street station. These plans are at an early stage and will be subject to planning consents. Both my Department and Network Rail will continue to monitor these plans as they develop.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the cost to the public purse of local government reorganisation in Essex.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the cost to the public purse of local government reorganisation in Essex.
The overall case for local government reorganisation is set out the English Devolution White Paper.
A PWC 2020 report estimated that reorganisation of the then 25 two-tier areas to a single unitary would have a one-off cost of £400 million, with the potential to realise £2.9 billion over five years, with an annual post-implementation net recurring saving of £700 million, however as it is for local areas to submit proposals for government to consider, the savings could vary area by area and across England in the round. We are also keen to ensure the wider benefits are also promoted, specifically simplified and more efficient structures.
The proposals submitted from the most recently established unitary councils identified a range of efficiencies that could be achieved. Councils in Essex were invited on 5 February to develop proposals for reorganisation, which are due to be submitted to government by September 2025.
It will be for the new councils to achieve the efficiencies identified in reorganisation proposals and subsequent detailed implementation and transformation plans while delivering high quality and sustainable public services to local residents and businesses.
