Written Answers
Grok
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli)
Wednesday 21st January 2026

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department is taking to help prevent the creation of non‑consensual sexualised images through the Grok Imagine app in the UK.

Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

The Government has been clear that non-consensual intimate images are reprehensible and no service should allow their creation and distribution.

The Online Safety Act requires in-scope services to prevent such content appearing on in-scope services and to remove it swiftly when it does. Where they fail to do this, Ofcom has robust enforcement powers - including fining 10% of global revenue

Furthermore, the offence of creating intimate images without consent was signed into force last week. The Secretary of State announced it will be made a priority offence under the Online Safety Act – delivering the strongest protections in the Act for users from such content.

Warm Home Discount Scheme: Rural Areas
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli)
Monday 2nd February 2026

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what support his Department is providing to individuals who live off grid and who are on low incomes who do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Warm Homes Discount.

Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Thanks to decisions in the recent Budget, an average of £150 of costs will be removed from household energy bills from April. The actions at budget also make electricity cheaper, meaning everyone will benefit and the transfer of the Renewables Obligation to public expenditure is a significant step towards rebalancing levies away from electricity.

What individual households actually save will depend on their specific energy use. Households with bigger electricity bills could save more than £150.

In addition, the Budget significantly increased the capital budget for home insulation through the Warm Homes Plan by £1.5bn to almost £15bn. This is the biggest public investment ever to upgrade homes with insulation and clean tech like solar panels and heat pumps.

Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli)
Monday 2nd February 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what comparative assessment she has made of levels of relative spending per head on reserved matters in (a) Wales and (b) England.

Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury

Spending on reserved matters is determined by the UK Government according to UK-wide priorities.

The Country and Regional Analysis publication shows estimates for the allocation of identifiable expenditure in the nations and regions of the UK: Country and regional analysis - GOV.UK

Public Expenditure: Wales
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli)
Monday 2nd February 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to HM Treasury's press release entitled Government announces support package that backs British pubs, published on 27 January 2026, what her proposed timeline is for the Barnett Formula Consequentials related to this funding to be made available to the Welsh Government, including the total sum.

Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury

Any Barnett consequentials for the Welsh Government resulting from policy changes will be confirmed at the relevant fiscal event.

Multinational Companies: USA
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli)
Monday 2nd February 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of recent exemptions or carve-outs granted to large United States multinational enterprises under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting on (a) the effectiveness of the global minimum tax, (b) UK tax revenues, and (c) the principle of equal treatment between multinational enterprises operating in the UK.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

The UK, with more than 140 members of the G20/OECD Inclusive Framework have reached agreement on a package of reforms to the Pillar 2 Global Minimum Tax system to address how it should interact with US minimum tax rules.

As set out in my written statement to the House on 7th January, these changes bring stability and clarity for business, as well as protection from retaliatory measures. At the same time, the largest multinationals will continue to pay their fair share of tax through comprehensive systems of global minimum taxation.

This agreement underlines the continued commitment of the UK and others to tackle aggressive tax planning by multinational enterprises and preserve the level playing field.

All multinationals are subject to the 25% Corporation Tax rate on profits they make in the UK, and they remain subject to the UK’s domestic minimum tax rate of 15%.

The changes will be fully costed with the OBR in in the usual way as the UK brings forward legislation in the next Finance Bill.



VAT
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli)
Thursday 5th February 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has made and assessment of the potential merits of completing an updated assessment of the potential savings to the Exchequer from withdrawing the postponed VAT accounting process, taking into account (a) increased deferred VAT payments since implementation, (b) growth in missing trader fraud and VAT loss due to misuse or non-compliance,(c) sectoral analysis of industries contributing most to deferred VAT and (d) behavioural and enforcement trends since PVA’s introduction.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

Postponed VAT accounting provides significant support for businesses, helping to manage cash flow and facilitate imports. HMRC undertakes regular operational work to ensure compliance with the rules around postponed VAT accounting.

The VAT gap has reduced from 13.8% in 2005-06 to 6.2% in 2024-25, and has remained broadly stable since 2020-21.

The Government keeps all tax policy under review as part of the policy making process

Select Committee Inquiry
4 Feb 2026
Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 27 Mar 2026)


Cross-border healthcare affects individuals living in both England and across Wales, who travel between the nations for GPs, specialist care, hospitals, and more. Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales offer unique challenges, some of which the Welsh Affairs Committee heard during a one-off evidence session conducted in January 2025.

 

This inquiry is building on the Committee’s previous evidence session on cross-border healthcare to explore in greater depth the issues affecting patients. It will look at the progress that has been made with cross-border healthcare arrangements as well as identify areas of improvement. It will also seek to address the impact of recent policy healthcare announcements on cross-border healthcare arrangements.

 

Read the call for evidence to find out more about the inquiry.
