Written Question
Car Sharing: Greater London
Tuesday 13th January 2026

Asked by: Lord Bailey of Paddington (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government (1) what assessment they have made of the impact of Zipcar's closure on the London economy, and (2) what discussions they have had with the company owners.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL).

The Minister for Local Transport met with the shared mobility industry in November, including Zipcar representatives, to discuss its challenges and opportunities and how Government can continue to best support the sector. The Department is actively considering what more can be done and is using feedback from the ministerial meeting and further stakeholder engagement to inform next steps.

Written Question
Israeli Embassy: Police
Friday 9th January 2026

Asked by: Lord Bailey of Paddington (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support police officers guarding the Israeli Embassy in London with their (1) working conditions, and (2) safety.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government takes the protective security of diplomatic missions extremely seriously. The UK Government's protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our longstanding policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals' and sites' security.

More broadly in terms of the support available to police officers, through the Police Covenant the Home Office are supporting the police workforce with their physical and mental health.
