Counter-terrorism
Asked by: Charlotte Cane (Liberal Democrat - Ely and East Cambridgeshire) Thursday 5th June 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on recruiting a Permanent Prevent Commissioner. Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Secretary announced the creation of a new Independent Prevent Commissioner role in a statement to the House on 17 December 2024.
Lord David Anderson KC was announced as the interim Commissioner on 21 January, to allow work to begin swiftly.
An open competition to recruit the permanent Independent Prevent Commissioner is underway, and an update will be provided once an appointment has been made. |
Solar Power
Asked by: Charlotte Cane (Liberal Democrat - Ely and East Cambridgeshire) Monday 9th June 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to verify the ethical integrity of supply chains in solar energy developments. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government is clear that no company should have forced labour in its supply chain and we are committed to ensuring that solar developers engage in ethical procurement. Legislation and guidance are in place to help developers take action, and we are exploring how we might go further, for example through strengthening Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, including possible penalties for non-compliance.
The Procurement Act 2023 will enable public sector contracting authorities to reject bids and terminate contracts with suppliers known to use forced labour anywhere in their supply chain. Further details on the Government’s approach will be set out in the Solar Roadmap, due to be published shortly. |
Solar Power
Asked by: Charlotte Cane (Liberal Democrat - Ely and East Cambridgeshire) Monday 9th June 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the merits of applying the same ethical sourcing requirements that apply to Great British Energy to private sector solar developers operating in the UK. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) This Government is clear that no company in the UK, whether public or private, should have forced labour in its supply chain.
Legislation and guidance are already in place to help businesses take action against modern slavery, and DESNZ is working across Whitehall on this important issue to see where we can go further. The Government is also considering how to strengthen Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, including possible penalties for non-compliance. The actions needed to secure supply chains that are sustainable, resilient and diverse will be set out in the Solar Roadmap, due for publication shortly. |
Solar Power
Asked by: Charlotte Cane (Liberal Democrat - Ely and East Cambridgeshire) Monday 9th June 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure that (a) the Sunnica scheme and (b) other solar energy projects do not use components linked to (i) forced and (ii) slave labour in their supply chains. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government does not comment on the details of specific projects. We are, however, clear that no UK company, whether public or private, should have forced labour in its supply chain. Legislation and guidance are in place to help developers take action, and we are exploring how we might go further, for example through strengthening Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, including possible penalties for non-compliance.
Further details on the Government’s approach to securing solar supply chains that are free from forced labour will be set out in the Solar Roadmap, due to be published shortly. |

Asked by: Charlotte Cane (Liberal Democrat - Ely and East Cambridgeshire) Tuesday 10th June 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department plans to take to reduce the backlog in Access to Work claims. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) We are committed to reducing waiting times for new applications for Access to Work and are considering the best way to deliver that for customers. We have increased the number of staff processing Access to Work claims and applications from customers who are about to start a job or who are renewing are prioritised. In March 2025, DWP published the Pathways to Work Green Paper, to consult on the future of Access to Work. Alongside this, we are considering further changes within the existing policy framework to reduce the backlog of applications.

Select Committee Inquiry |
---|
3 Jun 2025
Propriety, ethics and the wider standards landscape in the UK Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 26 Aug 2025) The Government has a manifesto commitment to “restore confidence in government and ensure ministers are held to the highest standards". Trust in government and the political system more widely is essential to the proper functioning and prosperity of a democratic state. Concerns with ethical standards are not new, however controversy surrounding the propriety of conduct of those in public life was a particularly prominent part of political life during the last parliament. This has raised questions as to whether the current system of ethical standards regulation is sufficient or even fit for purpose. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry. |
12 Jun 2025
Ministerial Statements and the Ministerial Code Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 11 Jul 2025) This inquiry will consider whether the Ministerial Code adequately sets out what the House should expect of Ministers making the most important announcements of government policy. We will ask whether those requirements are observed with sufficient rigour by Ministers. Additionally, we will consider the appropriate balance in deciding between a written or oral statement. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry. |
