Written Answers
NATO: Finance
Asked by: Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Monday 4th March 2024

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of Donald Trump’s comments about NATO members and spending on defence.

Answered by Earl of Minto - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

The UK’s commitment to NATO, and the principle of collective defence under Article V, is resolute. We expect all NATO Allies to come to the aid of others.

The UK has led the conversation on defence spending at NATO. Since the NATO Defence Investment Pledge, which Leaders agreed in Newport Wales in 2014, European Allies and Canada have invested heavily on Defence and will have added more $600 billion by the end of this year. Now is the time for all Allied and democratic nations across the world to ensure their defence spending is growing.

Tata Steel: Port Talbot
Asked by: Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Monday 4th March 2024

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government how they are intending to alleviate and assist with the impact of job losses caused by the closure of Port Talbot Steelworks.

Answered by Lord Johnson of Lainston - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Port Talbot steelworks are not closing. Tata Steel’s £1.25 billion transformation plan will see the UK Government providing a £500 million grant towards the joint investment, to build an Electric Arc Furnace at Port Talbot and ensure steelmaking continues into the future.

We are ensuring support for staff affected by the transition, working with Welsh Government and Tata Steel to provide up to £100 million of funding for a dedicated Transition Board, supporting impacted employees and the local economy. Tata has also announced that they will provide a £130 million comprehensive support package for affected employees.

Gaza: Ceasefires
Asked by: Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Monday 4th March 2024

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel to discontinue their military action in Palestine, and what steps they are taking to assist Palestinian civilians.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

We are calling for an immediate pause to get aid in and hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life.

Vital steps include the release of all hostages; the formation of a new Palestinian Government for the West Bank and Gaza, accompanied by an international support package; removing Hamas's capacity to launch attacks against Israel; Hamas no longer being in charge of Gaza; and a political horizon which provides a credible and irreversible pathway towards a two-state solution.

The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have reiterated these messages in their contacts with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli political leaders, as well as leaders in Qatar, Jordan, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon in recent weeks.

Palestinian civilians are facing a devastating and growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.. We have trebled our aid commitment for this financial year and we are doing everything we can to get more aid in and open more crossings.

We have reiterated the need for Israel to open more crossing points into Gaza, for Nitzana and Kerem Shalom to be open for longer, and for Israel to support the UN to distribute aid effectively across the whole of Gaza.

The Foreign Secretary has appointed a Representative for Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Mark Bryson-Richardson. He is based in the region and is working intensively to address the blockages preventing more aid reaching Gaza.

The UK is providing £60 million in humanitarian assistance to support partners including the British Red Cross, UNICEF, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and Egyptian Red Crescent Society to respond to critical food, fuel, water, health, shelter and security needs in Gaza.

Answered by Lord Sharpe of Epsom - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

The provision of Wi-Fi is not a contractual requirement across the asylum accommodation estate.

Asked by: Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Tuesday 12th March 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide support to those whose livelihoods previously relied on employment at the Port Talbot steel works.

Answered by Viscount Younger of Leckie - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) stands ready to support anyone affected by redundancy with our Rapid Response Service offer. This is a service designed to give support and advice to employers and their employees when faced with redundancy.

This service is co-ordinated nationally by the National Employer and Partnership Team and is managed by Jobcentre Plus. Delivery partners include Careers Wales, local training providers, Money Helper and ReAct Plus in Wales.

The Rapid Response Service offer is flexible and can include a range of options (see below) that can be pulled together into an appropriate support package. This package will be tailored to meet the needs of the employer, the individuals affected and the local community.

The range of support available from Jobcentre Plus and partners may include:

  • Help with job search including CV writing, interview skills, where to find jobs and how to apply for them.
  • Connecting people to jobs in the labour market
  • Help to identify transferable skills and skills gaps (linked to the local labour market).
  • What benefits they may get and how to claim.

DWP are also working closely with the Transition Board that was established to support the people, businesses and communities affected by the proposals for Tata Steel in Port Talbot.
