Written Answers
Childcare: Taxation
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South and Mid Down)
Friday 5th December 2025

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many families exceeded the tax-free childcare cap in each year since 2017.

Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury

Families cannot exceed the limits within their Tax Free Childcare accounts because the system automatically restricts government top-ups once the cap for the 3 month period is reached. Families can still make payments to childcare providers from their account without the top-up.

Official statistics on Tax-Free Childcare are published quarterly and further details can be found at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tax-free-childcare-quarterly-statistics

Devolution: Northern Ireland
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South and Mid Down)
Tuesday 9th December 2025

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has had discussions on further fiscal devolution with Ministers in the Northern Ireland Department of Finance during this current Stormont mandate.

Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury

HM Treasury and Northern Ireland Executive Ministers have regular discussions.

The Northern Ireland Executive’s Interim Fiscal Framework published in May 2024 stated that a full Fiscal Framework would consider the principles of fiscal devolution.

The scope and scale of the full Fiscal Framework will be subject to agreement between the UK Government and the Northern Ireland Executive.

Visas: Families
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South and Mid Down)
Wednesday 17th December 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether people living in the UK on family visas will be exempt from the sustained economic contribution requirement under proposed changes to earned settlement.

Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

The new earned settlement model is currently subject to an ongoing public consultation, due to conclude on 12 February 2026. Details of the earned settlement model will be finalised following that consultation.

Visas: Sponsorship
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South and Mid Down)
Wednesday 17th December 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the time taken to process certificate of sponsorship applications.

Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

It is the responsibility of individual businesses to monitor the visa expiry dates of their overseas employees and to take appropriate action to ensure continuity of employment.

The published service standard for non-complex Undefined Certificate of Sponsorship (UCoS) allocations and renewals is 18 weeks, as outlined on GOV.UK. Businesses may also opt to use the priority service, which aims to process requests within 5 working days.

Responsibility for submitting timely applications or updates lies with the sponsoring business.

Where necessary, the Home Office conducts additional checks to maintain the integrity of the immigration system, which may delay the processing of applications to assure ourselves that requests are genuine and full-time work and employment will be given to a prospective employee, for their own protection.

UK visa sponsorship for employers: Your responsibilities - GOV.UK(opens in a new tab)

The Home Office is currently operating within the published service standards for all Sponsorship applications and keeps all service offerings under review.

Civil Service: Codes of Practice
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South and Mid Down)
Monday 5th January 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will outline the role of the Cabinet Secretary in relation to the civil service code.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office

As set out in the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010, the Minister for the Civil Service (the Prime Minister) is responsible for the Civil Service Code. As Head of the Civil Service, the Cabinet Secretary is the Prime Minister’s most senior policy adviser, including in relation to the Civil Service Code.

TG4: Freeview Service
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South and Mid Down)
Wednesday 7th January 2026

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on ensuring greater prominence of TG4 on Freeview.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

Following representations made by TG4 and by Irish Ministers, we are considering whether to extend prominence for TG4 services broadcasting in Northern Ireland.

We are discussing the request with the Northern Ireland Office and other Cabinet colleagues and will make a statement on this early in the new year.
