Israel: Occupied Territories Asked by: Daniel Zeichner (Labour - Cambridge) Tuesday 6th January 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 12 November 2025 to Question 85800, if she will publish a formal response to the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion of 19 July 2024 on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) I refer the Hon Member to the previous answer cited in his question.
Mackerel: Fishing Catches Asked by: Daniel Zeichner (Labour - Cambridge) Tuesday 6th January 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much Western Mackerel has been (a) caught, (b) landed in UK ports and (c) landed in ports outside the UK; and what is the estimated first hand sale value. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) It is not possible to separate landings of Western mackerel from total mackerel landings in the UK Sea Fisheries statistics published by the Marine Management Organisation. In 2024, the last full year of landings data available, quota for Western mackerel accounted for 99% of the UK’s total mackerel quota and (a) UK vessels landed 233,586t of mackerel, (b) 127,967t of mackerel was landed into UK ports by UK and foreign vessels and (c) UK vessels landed 111,061t into non-UK ports. The first-hand sale value for mackerel landed by UK vessels was £1,468 per tonne in 2024. Mackerel prices have increased in 2025 – provisional figures suggest in November this year the sale value is £2,076 per tonne.

Select Committee Inquiry
24 Nov 2025 Data security across government Science, Innovation and Technology Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions On 15 July 2025 the Defence Secretary told the House of Commons about a large-scale data breach that had taken place in 2022, when a Ministry of Defence official emailed a spreadsheet to an external contact, unaware that it contained details relating to 18,700 Afghan nationals applying for relocation. In the wake of this, and other serious public sector data breaches, the committee chair wrote to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, and the Information Commissioner, to find out more about data hygiene and data management practices across government. This led to the publication in August 2025 of an Information Security Review which had been undertaken by the Cabinet Office in 2023 but not published. In August and then October 2025 the government announced further details of their intended response to the Afghan data breach - and others like it – and the subsequent review. On 21 October 2025 the committee questioned the Information Commissioner about his office's response to the February 2022 breach and wider learnings for government information and data security. In February 2026, the committee will question the Security Minister and Minister for Digital Government and Data on how the government has responded to the breach, and implemented the recommendations made in the Information Security Review.
