Unmanned Air Systems
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Monday 29th June 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to advance the UK's preparedness in relation to modern drone warfare. Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for the Armed Forces) Within the UK, there is now a thriving drones, counter-drones and autonomous systems ecosystem which enables spiral development, flexibility and modularity. This demonstrates how the UK is taking several steps to employ modern drone technologies in offensive and defensive roles. The Department also continually considers and develops improvements to the Integrated Air and Missile Defence systems, and we recognise the significance of drone warfare in current conflicts. Our land-based counter-drone systems have been proven on operations in the Middle East, and RAF Typhoons are now equipped with the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, a low-cost anti-drone weapon that has also seen operational use in the Middle East. Last November, the Government announced it had awarded a £316 million contract to MBDA UK to deliver the DragonFire counter-drone directed energy weapon to the Royal Navy.
Work to deliver the Strategic Defence Reviews recommendations, including on the milestones and timelines for delivery of low-cost one way effectors and further Integrated Air and Missile Defence capabilities, including counter-drone systems and electromagnetic warfare will be set out in the forthcoming Defence Investment Plan.

Active Travel
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Monday 29th June 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether access to blue space will be considered in including routes in the National Active Travel Network. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The National Active Travel Network will bring together both urban and rural networks, such as National Cycling Network, linking towns and villages across England into a single national plan. Local authorities are responsible for deciding how to plan their network and invest funding, in line with local priorities. Active Travel England will support local authorities to improve their Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans, including issuing updated guidance, to assist local authorities in determining their local priorities. The new guidance will support consideration of a broader range of travel needs, journey types and trip purposes. There are no plans for a threshold on population size for inclusion in the National Active Travel Network.

Performing Arts
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Thursday 2nd July 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what support her Department is giving to the live comedy industry. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) The government recognises the important contribution live comedy makes to the UK’s economy and creative sectors. In March, I hosted the first comedy sector roundtable, in which we discussed a number of ways to boost the sector, including strengthening the evidence of comedy's economic and social impact, and improving the sector's understanding of funding opportunities. The government is also providing a £7 million grant to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society for 2024-26, and is taking action to support self-employed creatives, including appointing a Freelance Champion. Arts Council England already provides support to the comedy sector, which will also benefit from reforms as part of the Independent Review of Arts Council England, including improving the experience of funding applicants and exploring new support for individual creatives. |

Banks: Misconduct
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Tuesday 7th July 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that banking misconduct compensation schemes provide independent mechanisms for reviewing cases where applicants were wrongly excluded from previous redress processes. Answered by Rachel Blake Successive Governments, as well as the Financial Conduct Authority, working with the banks, have taken steps that aimed to address historical banking misconduct issues. This included helping to establish and support a range of compensation and redress schemes to enable those affected to seek appropriate compensation, with interest rate hedging product (IRHP) disputes alone paying out more than £2bn to affected customers. These IRHP schemes included an in-built appeal mechanism, and each bank’s scheme was scrutinised by an independent reviewer, the appointment of which was approved by the FCA.
In addition to steps that were taken to enable investigations and compensation to be paid, the regulatory framework has also been strengthened. Historically, the Financial Ombudsman Service only had jurisdiction over disputes involving microbusinesses, but this was expanded by the Financial Conduct Authority in 2019, with over 99% of small businesses in the UK now eligible to bring their complaints to the FOS. In future, this would ensure access to clear and independent dispute resolution through a public body able to require compensation to be paid where misconduct has occurred.
