Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what consideration she has given of the potential merits of establishing a mutual or pooled cyber-risk scheme to reduce fiscal exposure and protect local economies.

Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)

The government has no plans to establish a mutual or pooled cyber risk scheme at this time.

Cyber insurance is widely offered in the UK insurance market and the government would encourage businesses to shop around, or employ the services of a broker, to find the most appropriate cover, at the best price.

The government will continue to monitor the cyber insurance market and related developments to ensure the UK’s economic resilience remains robust.

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to protect downstream users of packaging steel.

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

This Government recognises the distinct value of downstream users, including in the manufacturing supply chain, alongside the importance of maintaining a resilient domestic steel sector.

The steel trade measure has been designed to addresses the serious threat posed by global steel overcapacity, which undermines the viability of UK steelmaking and, in turn, our critical national infrastructure and defence.

We have carefully balanced the needs of producers and downstream industry, and the product scope of the measure reflects this. This has involved extensive engagement with downstream industry, and we will review the measure after 12 months.

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what consideration she has given to the potential merits of road-user charging receipts supporting local transport infrastructure.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Local Traffic Authorities have the power to introduce road charging schemes to address issues such as congestion and poor air quality, where they decide that is the best solution. They do not require Ministerial or Parliamentary approval to do this. Net revenue from such schemes are retained by the relevant local transport authority or authorities and must be used for transport purposes.

Reconciliation remains central to the vision of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, whose multi‑party negotiators affirmed that lasting peace in Northern Ireland depended not only on strong political structures but on honouring those who suffered “the tragedies of the past” by “dedicating ourselves to the achievement of reconciliation, tolerance, and mutual trust, and to the protection and vindication of the human rights of all.
