Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Livermore on 29 April (HL16703), what were the specific Budget policies that were trailed or announced to the media ahead of the Budget that were not accompanied by a statement to Parliament at the time.

Answered by Lord Livermore

There are occasions where the Government will trail and/or announce policy ahead of a Budget to provide context and help the public understand major fiscal events.

Consistent with the Macpherson Principles, the Civil Service Code, The Ministerial Code and the Special Advisers’ Code, any such communications are tightly controlled, respect Parliament, and protect market‑sensitive information.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Livermore on 2 June (HL105), why Lord Mandelson’s meeting in 11 Downing Street on 18 November 2024 was not listed in the transparency data "HMT’s ministerial meetings, October to December 2024"; and whether a civil servant was present at that meeting.

Answered by Lord Livermore

At the time of the meeting Peter Mandelson was a Parliamentarian and it was therefore not included in the return in line with the guidance on publishing Ministers’ meetings.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Livermore on 22 June (HL765), what engagement they have had with Gypsy and Traveller communities in respect of insurance for people who live permanently on caravan sites.

Answered by Lord Livermore

The Government understands the importance of insurance in building the financial resilience of consumers and protecting them when things go wrong. The Government engages with a wide range of interest groups as part of its work to ensure insurance markets work well for consumers. The Government exchanged correspondence with Friends, Families and Travellers on the issue of access to insurance in late 2025.

While insurers make commercial decisions on whether to offer cover, and at what price, they must comply with relevant legislation and regulatory rules. The Equality Act 2010 prohibits discrimination based on protected characteristics, such as race. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also requires firms to treat customers fairly under its rules and, where necessary, has robust powers to take action against firms that do not comply with its rules.

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Livermore on 2 June (HL105), how many times Lord Mandelson was recorded as visiting 10 Downing Street between 4 July 2024 and being appointed Ambassador to the United States according to (1) the 10 Downing Street diary records, and (2) the Downing Street visitor notification system.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Captain of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (HM Household) (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Lords)

I refer the noble Lord to the answer given by the then Prime Minister on 7 February 2017, Official Report, PQ 62542. Following the practice followed by past administrations, the Government does not comment on security matters.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Lord Livermore on 9 June (HL Deb 1225), what is their estimate of the total amount of value added tax overpaid by agricultural societies in the course of running agricultural shows.

Answered by Lord Livermore

HM Revenue and Customs has not made an estimate of the total amount of VAT overpaid by agricultural societies in running agricultural shows and does not hold centrally collated data on this.

Whether an overpayment has been made can only be determined on the facts of each individual claim submitted by a taxpayer.

Therefore, HMRC cannot make a wider estimation for the sector from the information available to them.
