Written Answers
Gaza: Peacekeeping Operations
Asked by: Andy Slaughter (Labour - Hammersmith and Chiswick)
Monday 12th January 2026

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assurances the UK has received from the US authorities that CMCC drone surveillance monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza will identify and record potential violations whether by Hamas, Islamic Jihad, other militias or Israel.

Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans)

The small team of UK personnel embedded in US-led Civil Military Coordination Centre (CMCC) engages continually with their US counterparts to ensure a sustainable ceasefire, delivery of humanitarian aid and progress in building Gaza's stability.

Drone surveillance is one of a range of US capabilities used for ceasefire monitoring. The UK contribution to the CMCC does not include monitoring the ceasefire.

Gaza: Peacekeeping Operations
Asked by: Andy Slaughter (Labour - Hammersmith and Chiswick)
Monday 12th January 2026

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assurances the UK has received from the US authorities that UK personnel at the Civil Military Co-ordination Centre will not be assisting or participating in actions that could breach International Law or International Humanitarian Law.

Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans)

The Civil Military Co-ordination Centre (CMCC) is a US-led body supporting the humanitarian response to Gaza and delivery of the 20-point plan. The UK team engage routinely with their US and other international counterparts to understand and monitor the work of the CMCC and can raise concerns if required. UK personnel are briefed on their responsibilities under International Law and International Humanitarian Law.

The UK is fully committed to upholding our responsibilities under domestic and international law and we act at all times in a manner consistent with our legal obligations.

Select Committee Inquiry
12 Jan 2026
Children and Young Adults in the Secure Estate
Justice Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

The Justice Committee has launched an inquiry into children and young adults in the secure estate in England and Wales to determine if the current system effectively prevents offending while upholding a "child-first" approach. The inquiry will scrutinise the various types of secure settings and the suitability and safety of these environments.

We will explore the drivers behind high levels of self-harm, poor mental health and the use of physical restraint. This inquiry will also consider the transition of young people into the adult estate upon turning 18.

We will also examine whether the current adult prison environment is appropriate for meeting the developmental, welfare and rehabilitative needs of young adults aged 18 to 25.

Read the Call for Evidence to learn more about this Inquiry.
