Universal Credit: Candidates
Asked by: Graeme Downie (Labour - Dunfermline and Dollar) Wednesday 19th November 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what guidance his Department has issued on whether people on Universal Credit are entitled to raise funds for the purpose of standing for election. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Funding received and managed by local and national political parties would not be taken into account in assessing an individual’s entitlement for Universal Credit (UC). Money received personally by an individual, including for their political purposes, is generally treated as capital in UC, and can affect eligibility and payment amounts if a customer’s total capital exceeds £6,000. There are no plans to review these rules. |

Air Force: Recruitment and Training
Asked by: Graeme Downie (Labour - Dunfermline and Dollar) Friday 21st November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many new pilots completed training and entered front-line service with the RAF in each of the last five years by (a) aircraft and (b) service type. Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) For each training year, the number of pilots that undertake training and commence Operational Conversion Units is based upon the front-line demand for qualified pilots. The Royal Air Force (RAF) actively manage the pilot training pipelines to ensure that trainee flowthrough is kept to an optimum and meets the front-line requirements. The specific number of pilots that have completed training and commenced front-line Operational Conversion Units in each of the last five years is not released into the public domain as this level of detailed information may provide tactical advantage to hostile forces causing operational and personnel security risks. |

Submarines: Decommissioning
Asked by: Graeme Downie (Labour - Dunfermline and Dollar) Thursday 27th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he plans to make a decision on the future of the Submarine Dismantling Programme. Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) The demonstrator submarine, Swiftsure, continues to be dismantled as part of the Submarine Dismantling Project. Working with Babcock, we remain committed to dismantling the platform by the end of 2026. Following Swiftsure, there are six further legacy submarines in Rosyth awaiting to enter the dismantling process.
Realisation of an enduring disposal capability to ensure the safe and secure disposal of the UK’s future decommissioned submarines will be delivered through the Department’s Submarine Disposal Capability Project. The project is currently in its concept phase and the Department is assessing options for the capability and its location with various sites under consideration within the UK. A decision will be communicated to Parliament at the appropriate time.
