That this House condemns the killing of Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, Director of Public Relations for the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza, who was killed alongside three other civilians, including two children, in an Israeli drone strike on a civilian vehicle in Gaza City; notes that the Egyptian Relief Committee provides essential humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza, including food aid, shelter for displaced families and rubble clearance operations; further notes reports that humanitarian workers and civilian relief operations continue to come under attack despite the October 2025 ceasefire; expresses grave concern at the continued loss of civilian life in Gaza, including humanitarian personnel and children, and at the impact these attacks have on the delivery of life-saving assistance; reaffirms that humanitarian workers and civilians are protected under international humanitarian law and that attacks against them must be independently investigated; believes that those responsible for violations of international law must be held accountable; and calls on the Government to condemn this attack, press for an immediate, independent investigation, support measures to protect humanitarian personnel and civilians, and work with international partners to secure a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access and full compliance with international law.

That this House notes with concern Sony's announcement that, from January 2028, it will cease production of physical discs for all new PlayStation games, following reports that the PlayStation 6 will be released without a disc drive; further notes that this move, taken alongside the closure of the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita online stores, will compel consumers who wish to purchase new titles to do so exclusively through the PlayStation Store or digital retail partners; is alarmed that this shift removes consumers' ability to resell, lend, or retain permanent ownership of purchased games, entrenching Sony's control over game distribution, pricing, and platform access; is concerned that a single company acting as the sole digital gatekeeper for its console ecosystem raises serious questions about market dominance, consumer lock-in, and the potential for anti-competitive pricing and terms once physical alternatives are eliminated; further notes similar concerns have previously been raised regarding closed app store models on mobile platforms; and calls on the Government to refer Sony's PlayStation Store practices and the closure of physical distribution channels to the Competition and Markets Authority for investigation into whether this constitutes an abuse of a dominant market position and whether it risks harming consumer choice, competition, and the long-standing principle of game ownership.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department has taken to review whistleblower protection frameworks since 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department has taken to review whistleblower protection frameworks since 2015.
In April 2026, important amendments to the Employment Rights Act 1996 came into force. These clarified that workers who ‘blow the whistle’ on sexual harassment can benefit from whistleblowing protections against detriment and unfair dismissal.
Additionally, the government commenced changes this June to update The Public Interest Disclosure (Prescribed Persons) Order 2014, adding six new prescribed whistleblowing bodies and changing the remits of seven existing bodies. Keeping the framework up to date, gives workers greater confidence about where to raise concerns, and supports earlier detection of wrongdoing.
The government also plans to launch a consultation on whistleblowing.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to strengthen protections for individuals who cooperate with investigations into corporate misconduct.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to strengthen protections for individuals who cooperate with investigations into corporate misconduct.
Individuals who cooperate with investigations are protected from retaliation by their employer where their reporting qualifies as a “protected disclosure” (or whistleblowing) under the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA).
The government intends to consult on the whistleblowing framework in the ERA.
Separately, employees are protected from unfair dismissal under the ERA. A dismissal may be unfair if the employer lacks a fair reason, follows an unfair procedure, or both. An employee who is dismissed for cooperating with an investigation into wrongdoing may be able to bring an Employment Tribunal claim for unfair dismissal, depending on the circumstances.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of decoupling electricity and gas prices.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of decoupling electricity and gas prices.
The existing Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme has been successful in bringing forth new renewable assets at fixed, competitive prices. CfDs are already beginning to decouple electricity and gas markets, protecting consumers from gas price volatility.
However, Government wants to go further and offer eligible legacy low-carbon generators new fixed price contracts, known as Wholesale CfDs. This will help speed up decoupling and protect families and businesses from higher electricity bills when gas prices increase. We plan to consult on this policy later in the year and all impacts will be scrutinised and assessed as the policy develops, with contracts being offered only where they deliver clear value for money for the consumer.

The current extent of grid constraints reflects years of underinvestment, with new network infrastructure development having lagged the expansion of new generation.
That’s why this Government is delivering the biggest upgrade in Great Britain’s electricity network in decades.
Alongside this, in April the Government set out it’s Reformed National Pricing Delivery plan, which outlines a number of measures the Government is taking to improve system efficiency and reduce the costs associated with network constraints. We are working closely with Ofgem and NESO to deliver these actions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate he has made of how much curtailed wind energy could have instead been stored in batteries or other forms of energy storage.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate he has made of how much curtailed wind energy could have instead been stored in batteries or other forms of energy storage.
The Government has not undertaken an assessment of how much curtailed wind energy could have instead been stored in batteries or other forms of energy storage. The Government has commissioned and published analysis by LCP Delta and Regen on the benefits of Long-Duration Electricity Storage (LDES), including reduced wind curtailment, which has informed policy to encourage storage deployment including the LDES Cap and Floor.

The costs associated with network curtailment and other balancing actions are passed on to consumers in electricity bills.
As set out in the Reformed National Pricing (RNP) Delivery Plan, wind generators were paid £370 million in 2024/2025 to reduce generation their generation in order to support balancing of the network. Annual balancing costs for 2025/26 will be published in due course by NESO.
