British Nationals Abroad: Politics and Government
Asked by: Lord Hampton (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 30th July 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what measures they are considering to encourage political engagement among young Britons living and working in the EU. Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development) It is for British nationals as individuals to decide whether they wish to become politically active while living and working in the EU. |

Italy: British Nationals Abroad
Asked by: Lord Hampton (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 30th July 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made on obtaining reciprocal voting rights in local elections for UK citizens in Italy; and whether these negotiations are a priority for the Government. Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development) We have existing bilateral agreements with Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Poland and Luxembourg, which were negotiated by the previous government. The UK is open to further, fully reciprocal bilateral voting agreements but these would be subject to the detail of future negotiations. |

Kinship Care
Asked by: Lord Hampton (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 4th August 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government whether welfare benefits or tax credits, including disability benefits that a kinship carer receives for themselves or the child, will be impacted if they receive financial support through the Kinship Allowance Pilot. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities) The kinship allowance pilot will provide financial support to eligible kinship carers with a Special Guardianship Order or a ‘lives with’ Child Arrangement Order where the child would have otherwise been in care. These carers will receive a weekly non-means tested allowance paid at the same rate as the national minimum fostering allowance, if they reside in the pilot local authorities. The requirements under chapter 2 of the Special Guardianship Regulations 2005 (2005 Regulations) will not apply to the arrangements made under this pilot. Special Guardians receiving financial support under 2005 Regulations are barred from receiving this pilot's allowance to avoid the risk of double public-funding. We believe this will have minimal effect on financial support arrangements under the Special Guardianship Regulations because this pilot is only being run in a select few local authorities and for a specific period of time, so some Special Guardians will continue to prefer receiving financial support under the 2005 Regulations. Further details of the pilot, including how payments made through the pilot will interact with social security benefits, will be made available when the pilot goes live. The pilot will be independently evaluated to find out how best to deliver consistent financial support for kinship families. Decisions about future national rollout will be informed by the findings of the evaluation. |

Kinship Care
Asked by: Lord Hampton (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 4th August 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government whether Chapter Two of the Special Guardianship Regulations 2005, and the provisions of the Special Guardianship statutory guidance, will apply to local authorities participating in the Kinship Allowance Pilot; and, if so how. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities) The kinship allowance pilot will provide financial support to eligible kinship carers with a Special Guardianship Order or a ‘lives with’ Child Arrangement Order where the child would have otherwise been in care. These carers will receive a weekly non-means tested allowance paid at the same rate as the national minimum fostering allowance, if they reside in the pilot local authorities.

Guardianship and Kinship Care
Asked by: Lord Hampton (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 4th August 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government how they plan to improve consistency, fairness and transparency in the provision of special guardianship allowances concurrently with the Kinship Allowance Pilot. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities) The kinship allowance pilot will provide financial support to eligible kinship carers with a Special Guardianship Order or a ‘lives with’ Child Arrangement Order where the child would have otherwise been in care. These carers will receive a weekly non-means tested allowance paid at the same rate as the national minimum fostering allowance, if they reside in the pilot local authorities.

Kinship Care
Asked by: Lord Hampton (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 4th August 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government whether the financial support paid under the Kinship Allowance Pilot will be means tested. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities) The kinship allowance pilot will provide financial support to eligible kinship carers with a Special Guardianship Order or a ‘lives with’ Child Arrangement Order where the child would have otherwise been in care. These carers will receive a weekly non-means tested allowance paid at the same rate as the national minimum fostering allowance, if they reside in the pilot local authorities.
