Agricultural Products: UK Trade with EU
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Monday 14th July 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to increase the level of exports from Welsh businesses to the EU before the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreemen is implemented. Answered by Gareth Thomas - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) DBT hosts a wide range of events across all sectors to promote exports, including bringing over 100 businesses to Cardiff as part of the Made in the UK, Sold to the World tech roadshow in Cardiff.
We are also piloting Digital Trade Corridors to ease border processes and modernising export services to improve accessibility. These measures aim to reduce trade friction and help Welsh businesses grow their EU exports ahead of the SPS Agreement’s implementation.
My department hosted events for all UK food and drink businesses in July, attended by Welsh exporters Wrexham Lager, Village Bakery and the Lobster Pot. |

Soft Drinks: Taxation
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Thursday 10th July 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of reducing the Soft Drinks Industry Levy thresholds on consumers. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) An assessment of impacts – including health impacts for consumers – is enclosed within the ‘Strengthening the Soft Drinks Industry Levy’ consultation document. This is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/strengthening-the-soft-drinks-industry-levy.
The government welcomes feedback on the proposed changes as part of the consultation, which is open until 21 July 2025 and will inform decisions at a future Budget. If the government decides to make changes to the levy, it will publish a tax information and impact note (TIIN) to give account of the confirmed policy’s impacts. |

Visas: Skilled Workers
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Tuesday 22nd July 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment has she made of the potential merits of using the certificate of sponsorship start date to start the qualifying period for care workers on skilled worker visas to apply for indefinite leave to remain. Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) The requirement to hold a certificate of sponsorship is part of the eligibility criteria of the skilled worker route and does not confer any permission to enter or stay in the UK. An applicant for settlement must show a period of lawful continuous residence. The new Immigration Rules will end overseas recruitment for Care Workers and take effect on 22 July. Transitional arrangements will allow in country switching until 2028 and individuals will continue to be able to extend their permission. The qualification period for Indefinite Leave to Remain begins when the individuals first entered the UK in the Skilled Worker route. The Immigration White Paper sets out proposed changes to settlement rules. We will consult on the details of the policy later this year. These are important changes, we recognise how important this is to people, and will listen to what people tell us in that consultation. We will provide further details of how the scheme will work after that. |

Visas: Skilled Workers
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Tuesday 22nd July 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of introducing a concession for care workers in the qualifying time for indefinite leave to remain due to delays in UK visa and immigration processing times for skilled worker visas. Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) There are no delays in processing straightforward Health and Care Worker visa applications. Section 3C leave, as defined in Section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971, automatically extends a person’s immigration permission if they have submitted an application to extend or vary their permission before the person’s existing permission expires. Time spent on the skilled worker route under section 3C can be counted towards settlement. We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year and further details on the proposed scheme will be provided at that time. |
