Housing: Carbon Emissions
Asked by: Cameron Thomas (Liberal Democrat - Tewkesbury) Tuesday 28th January 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is to help ensure that the proposed 1.5 million new homes are carbon neutral. Answered by Alex Norris - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Government is committed to ensuring that the 1.5 million homes we will build over the course of this parliament will be high quality, well designed and sustainable. Future standards, to be introduced this year, will set our new homes and buildings on a path that moves away from relying on volatile fossil fuels and ensures they are fit for a net zero future. These homes will be future proofed with low carbon heating and high levels of energy efficiency. No further energy efficiency retrofit work will be necessary to enable them to become zero-carbon over time as the electricity grid continues to decarbonise. This commitment will help put the UK back on track to meeting its climate goals, all while cutting bills, boosting economic growth and delivering energy independence with clean power by 2030. |

Afghanistan: Home Country Nationals
Asked by: Cameron Thomas (Liberal Democrat - Tewkesbury) Tuesday 28th January 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to support people who came to the UK under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy. Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) The UK has a moral obligation to assist our Afghan friends and allies who served for, with or alongside our Armed Forces in support of UK objectives in Afghanistan. We will honour that moral duty.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) offers a range of packages for those relocated under the ARAP upon their arrival. This includes transitional accommodation on the Defence Estate, orientation and cultural awareness briefings, safeguarding, and English language support, as well as help to register to access mainstream services (such as the NHS, education, employment, and universal credit). Working with Local Authorities and other Government Departments, the MOD has also supported families in moving into settled accommodation.
This Government is fully committed to delivering on the pledge to those in Afghanistan who are eligible to relocate and resettle, and we continue to welcome these Afghans and their families to the UK through our Afghan resettlement schemes. This is why, as announced by the Secretary of State for Defence on 18 December 2024, we are launching the Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP), which will draw together a single pipeline for Afghan resettlement, working cross-Government, to deliver greater efficiency and better outcomes.
Further information on the resettlement offer under the ARP can be found at the following link:

Care Workers: Migrant Workers
Asked by: Cameron Thomas (Liberal Democrat - Tewkesbury) Tuesday 28th January 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure health and care worker’s on Tier 2 visa’s are protected from exploitation by their employers. Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) The Government condemns the exploitation of international care workers by rogue employers in the adult social care sector and continues to take robust action against this unscrupulous behaviour. If an individual is in danger or at risk of exploitation, we urge them to come forward so we can work with the police or other law enforcement bodies, including the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), to support them through the National Referral Mechanism (NRM).
The enforcement bodies are currently working together to investigate a range of allegations about the adult care sector. The evidence ranges from labour market offences such as charging for work finding fees and non-payment of National Minimum Wage to the higher level of exploitative abuses such as debt bondage and modern slavery.
We have recently implemented prohibitions on Skilled Worker sponsors recouping sponsorship costs from those they sponsor, and those doing so now risk losing their licence. We also intend to ban any employer who flouts employment laws from acting as a sponsor in the future. |
