Written Answers
Radicalism
Asked by: Lord Polak (Conservative - Life peer)
Thursday 3rd July 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they have taken to consult communities and experts on developing a long-term counter-extremism strategy aimed at building democratic and societal resilience, strengthening cohesion and reducing extremism and other societal threats.

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

The Home Office keeps all polices relating to national security and public safety under regular review, in consultation with a wide range of experts and stakeholders.

Revenue and Customs: Fujitsu
Asked by: Lord Polak (Conservative - Life peer)
Thursday 17th July 2025

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government which Fujitsu contracts have been extended by HM Revenue and Customs in the past 12 months; and whether ministerial approval was sought.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

Seven Fujitsu contracts have been extended by HMRC in the past 12 months to ensure continuity of essential services. These are: the Call-Off Contract for COTS Software (Oracle), Crown Hosting Run, Data Services, Data Project Services, Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) and Vulnerability Managed Service, Pre-Production Environment (PPE) Web Solutions, and the Trader Support Service. As a public contracting authority, HMRC adheres to the procurement rules and spend controls set by the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury, obtaining appropriate ministerial approval where required. Of the seven contracts, six had extension values below the Cabinet Office Spend Control threshold of £20 million and were approved internally by HMRC in line with established processes and governance controls. Only one contract—the Trader Support Service—exceeded the threshold (£66.8 million) and therefore required both Cabinet Office Spend Control and Ministerial Approval.
