Submarines: Deployment
Asked by: Bill Esterson (Labour - Sefton Central) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what welfare, health and family‑support provisions are available to submariners completing exceptionally long patrols. Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) Submariners undertake some of the most demanding duties in Defence and the Department recognises the unique demands placed upon them and their families.
A range of support measures are provided to submariners while on patrol and once they return home, including access to comprehensive medical care, pre- and post‑deployment health checks, comprehensive mental health support, alongside chaplaincy access and secure arrangements for receiving messages from family while deployed.
Families are supported through Royal Navy welfare organisations, including Royal Navy Family and People Support, which provides 24-hour support to Service personnel and their families. All arrangements remain under constant review and further information can be found at: Royal Navy Support

Real Estate Investment Trusts: Taxation
Asked by: Bill Esterson (Labour - Sefton Central) Tuesday 26th May 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much HMRC paid in (a) withheld tax repayments and (b) rebates relating to UK Real Estate Investment Trust distributions to non-UK residents in financial years (i) 2023-24 and (ii) 2024-25; and what compliance and assurance processes apply to such repayments. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) HMRC does not routinely publish data on withheld tax repayments relating to Real Estate Investment Trust distributions, the specific figures requested are not readily available in a single dataset. Repayments are administered through a number of different systems and routes, and unfortunately collating the information required would exceed the cost threshold for responding to parliamentary questions. We can confirm that HMRC operates compliance and assurance processes for repayments of withholding tax. These processes include checks on eligibility for relief, identification of the claimant, validation of the repayment calculation and verification that the non-UK resident is entitled to treaty benefits. |
