Written Answers
Iron and Steel: Wales
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin)
Thursday 2nd July 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the answer of 23 June 2026 to question 11289, how many applications the National Wealth Fund has received from steel companies requesting investment from the Steel Fund (a) in total and (b) for steel sites in Wales; and much funding has been (i) requested and (ii) allocated.

Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Government is providing up to £2.5 billion to support the UK steel industry, in addition to the £500 million grant to Tata Steel at Port Talbot. This is being delivered through a combination of direct support for steel companies and the National Wealth Fund (NWF), which aims to commit £5.8 billion to five priority sectors, including green steel. All funding is allocated on a case-by-case basis subject to scrutiny of individual propositions. Businesses seeking the NWF’s finance or support from should contact them directly via their website:

Food: Safety
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin)
Thursday 9th July 2026

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Future of Food Regulation programme on Wales.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson

The November 2025 Budget announcement included a request for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to develop a consistent national approach to the regulation of large food businesses in England.

The FSA Board formally established the programme in March 2026 and agreed its vision of delivering an effective, resilient, and trusted regulatory system that is fit for the future.

The Future of Food Regulation Programme will develop proposals to strengthen the system that keeps our food safe, to ensure it keeps pace with new and emerging food businesses and reflects how people buy and consume food today. Developing a consistent, national approach to the regulation of large food businesses in England is one part of the programme, which will also be looking at how small and medium businesses are regulated, so that the whole system remains effective, resilient, trusted, and fit for the future.

While the funding and mandate for this work are focused on England, the proposals will be developed in collaboration with stakeholders across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This includes taking account of the distinct legislative and regulatory frameworks that operate within each nation and understanding how proposed changes may interact with those different contexts.

The FSA is engaging with stakeholders in Wales, in line with the collaborative agreement between the FSA, local authorities in Wales, the Welsh Government, and the Welsh Local Government Association, with further information available at the following link:

https://www.gov.wales/written-statement-review-and-reform-food-business-regulation-wales

Proposals that relate to devolved matters will be recommended to the Welsh ministers, supported by the appropriate evidence, including assessments of impacts.

Local Housing Allowance: Uprating
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin)
Friday 17th July 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of trends in the levels of homelessness among Universal Credit claimants since Local Housing Allowance was last uprated.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government) (Equalities)

The causes of homelessness are multi-faceted and often complex and they interact dynamically DWP continues to work closely with MHCLG on interactions with homelessness.

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions reviewed Local Housing Allowance (LHA) at the 2025 Autumn Budget and announced that rates would be maintained at their current levels for 2026/27. A range of factors, such as rent levels across the country, were considered against the fiscal context, including the level of housing support that Government provides overall.

Renters receiving housing support who face a shortfall in meeting their rent costs can apply for discretionary support from local authorities via the Crisis and Resilience Fund Housing Payments in England and Discretionary Housing Payments in Wales.

Local Housing Allowance: Uprating
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin)
Tuesday 21st July 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the decision not to uprate Local Housing Allowance on poverty (a) before and (b) after housing costs, particularly for households in Wales.

Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

DWP is committed to delivering for the people of Wales. It is important that the UK Government considers the specific impacts of policy changes in Wales, and the interaction with the devolved matter on housing. Officials continue to engage with counterparts in the Welsh Government, and with Welsh stakeholders, to understand these interactions.

As part of the decision not to increase LHA rates, a number of factors were considered, including rent levels in Wales, interactions with poverty and homelessness, overall housing support, and the wider fiscal context.

For those who need further support, Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) are available from local authorities in Wales.

Select Committee Inquiry
30 Jun 2026
Wales' role in defending the UK
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 31 Aug 2026)


Wales is home to a substantial and well matured defence manufacturing industry, spanning sectors including aerospace, defence-related electronics, drones, weapons, ammunition and land systems manufacturing (e.g. armoured fighting vehicles). The Welsh Government has estimated that Wales’ combined defence and aerospace sector directly employs 16,000 people, has a turnover of £3.7 billion and contributes approximately £1.5 billion in gross valued added (GVA) to the Welsh economy.

The UK Government has committed to increasing defence spending to 3% of GDP in the next Parliament, with current projections showing an estimated spend of 2.68% of GDP by 2030. In line with its NATO allies, the UK has committed to reach 3.5% of GDP on defence spending by 2035.

The UK Government has said that defence investment will create a 'ripple effect throughout the Welsh economy, supporting not only direct employment but also numerous supply chain businesses and local communities'.

Our inquiry seeks to investigate how Wales can best benefit from rising government spending on defence, as well as to assess what contribution the defence manufacturing industry in Wales makes to the UK’s overall defence capabilities.

We’re looking to answer four key strategic questions:

  1. What contribution does the Welsh defence manufacturing industry make to the UK's overall defence capabilities?
  2. How important is the defence manufacturing industry in driving the economy in Wales?
  3. What are the challenges and opportunities facing the defence manufacturing industry in Wales today, what will they be in the future, and how can Wales benefit from them?
  4. What support is needed from government to enable the defence manufacturing industry in Wales to thrive?
