Reserve Forces: Labour Turnover Asked by: Alison Taylor (Labour - Paisley and Renfrewshire North) Wednesday 19th March 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to improve (a) recruitment and (b) retention within the army reserve. Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) This Government inherited a recruitment crisis, with targets being missed every year for the past 14 years, and is taking decisive action to get recruitment back on track. This has included the largest pay rise to personnel in decades and scrapping 100 outdated policies that slow recruitment down. Improving recruitment and retention levels is one of the Army’s top priorities, supported by defence. Measures in place to increase recruitment into the Army Reserves include a sustained digital and physical marketing campaign; an increased focus on professional training and upskilling courses; and improved financial incentives. A retention strategy has been launched to address barriers to retention through a holistic set of financial and policy initiatives spanning the entire employee lifecycle. Further announcements will be made in due course, in line with the future Strategic Defence Review.
Windsor Framework: Scotland Asked by: Alison Taylor (Labour - Paisley and Renfrewshire North) Tuesday 18th March 2025 Question to the Northern Ireland Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment his Department has made of the impact of the Windsor Framework on the economy of the west coast of Scotland. Answered by Hilary Benn - Secretary of State for Northern Ireland The UK internal market and trade between the UK’s four nations is worth around £129bn. The Windsor Framework ensures Northern Ireland’s businesses have unfettered access to their most important market in Great Britain, including the west coast of Scotland, and the UK internal market system is helping to smooth the flow of trade from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.

Select Committee Inquiry
28 Mar 2025 Airport expansion and climate and nature targets Environmental Audit Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 24 Apr 2025) The Environmental Audit Committee is undertaking an inquiry on airport expansion and climate and nature targets. In this inquiry the Committee is seeking to: establish the climate and environmental targets which Ministers ought to ensure are met under its policy to support airport expansion; examine current projections for aviation demand, for aviation emissions and for the reduction of emissions and other negative environmental impacts, through technological developments and other means; ascertain what environmental and climate conditions the Government ought to establish for airport developments through the use of planning policy statements, and consider how Ministers should seek to maintain aviation’s compliance with climate and environmental targets and what policy safeguards might be necessary to achieve this. Read the call for evidence for more information about this inquiry, and to find out how to submit written evidence through the Committee's online evidence submission portal.
10 Apr 2025 Addressing the risks from Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Environmental Audit Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 26 May 2025) Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a large, complex group of about 14,000 synthetic chemicals used in a wide variety of everyday products. For example, PFAS are used to keep food from sticking to packaging or cookware, make clothes and carpets resistant to stains, and create firefighting foam that is more effective. PFAS chemicals do not degrade easily in the environment and for this reason they have often been referred to as ‘forever’ chemicals. Research has indicated that PFAS can lead to a range of health issues, such as decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, a higher risk of certain cancers and immune system suppression. Our inquiry will consider whether enough is being done to address the risks of PFAS in the UK and whether research institutions and the Environment Agency are equipped to detect and monitor their impact. It will also explore what regulatory mechanisms are in place across the UK and how they compare to other jurisdictions around the world, such as the European Union and the United States of America.
