What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to strengthen Wales’ place in the Union.
What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to strengthen Wales’ place in the Union.
Wales benefits from being a part of the United Kingdom and the UK is stronger for having Wales in it.
We will do whatever it takes to strengthen the union by focusing on our economic, national, and energy security. This is a UK Government that is fully focused on delivering the priorities of the people of Wales – tackling the cost of living, supporting our steelmaking communities, and delivering generational investment in Welsh rail.
What diplomatic steps she is taking to support the humanitarian aspects of the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.
What diplomatic steps she is taking to support the humanitarian aspects of the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.
Under the 20-point Gaza Peace Plan, the Government of Israel committed to the full entry of aid without interference. It is unacceptable that over the last 6 weeks, volumes entering Gaza are only 35 per cent of the minimum targets agreed in the Plan.
This is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and risks undermining the Peace Plan. More crossings and aid corridors must therefore be reopened, and restrictions on humanitarian partners and supplies must be lifted. We will continue to raise these issues directly with the Government of Israel.
That this House notes with concern the decision of the Israeli authorities to deny entry into Gaza to Archbishop Hosam Naoum of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem; further notes that the Diocese is responsible for the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, which has continued to operate throughout the current conflict despite severe limitations and extremely challenging circumstances; recognises that the Archbishop had intended to visit the hospital in order to review its situation, provide pastoral care and encouragement to staff and patients, and assess urgent humanitarian needs within the complex; acknowledges the historic presence of an ancient and resilient Christian community in Gaza; also notes that Archbishop Hosam Naoum is an Israeli citizen and the Head of his Church in the region; and calls on His Majesty’s Government to raise this matter with the Israeli authorities and to urge reconsideration of the decision in order to facilitate his pastoral visit to Al Ahli Hospital and the wider Christian community in Gaza.

The Ministry of Defence remains in close contact with His Majesty's Treasury and No.10 at all levels of the Department on defence spending.
This Government has committed to deliver the largest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War. In addition, last year the Prime Minister made a historic pledge to spend 5% of GDP on defence and security related expenditure by 2035.

As the right hon. Gentleman may know, data on immigration status and crime was not recorded under the last Government. We have a new programme that will improve data collection, and we have strong local relationships with police and local authorities to ensure that the full force of the law will apply to anyone breaking our laws.

The Government’s reforms will focus on delivering faster and fairer justice for victims. That includes removing the presumption of parental involvement to prioritise what is in the best interests of children after tireless campaigning by Claire Throssell, whose two sons, Jack and Paul, were killed by their father after their parents’ separation. Reforms also include strengthening the use of special measures and preventing the misuse of evidence to unfairly undermine victims in court.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent diplomatic steps she has taken with international counterparts to help ensure the protection of Christian communities in Yemen.
The UK remains committed to freedom of religion or belief for all. We are concerned about the situation facing minority communities in Yemen, including Christians, particularly in areas under Houthi control. Reports indicate that minorities cannot practise their faith freely and that they face harassment and discrimination. We raise these concerns regularly with international partners, including at the UN Security Council and Human Rights Council, pressing for respect for human rights and accountability for violations. The UK will continue to use its diplomatic influence and humanitarian support to protect civilians in Yemen, including Christian communities, and to work closely with the UN to press for an inclusive peace process.
