Written Answers
Firearms: Licensing
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham)
Monday 26th January 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 15 January 2026 to Question 104116 on Firearms Licensing, whether the government will set out a timeline for publication of the consultation on firearms licensing; and whether the impact assessment will be published alongside the consultation.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government will be publishing the public consultation paper on strengthening the controls on shotguns shortly.

The Government will provide the necessary impact assessments in due course, depending on whether we decide to make any changes following the consultation.

Exports: Ammunition
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham)
Monday 26th January 2026

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 13 January 2026 to Question 103110 on Exports: Ammunition, on what evidential basis the Minister stated that the Government does not licence the export of any bombs or ammunition for use in military operations in Gaza or the West Bank.

Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

Licence applications for the export of controlled goods, including bombs and ammunition, are considered by the Export Control Joint Unit. Relevant teams, including technical experts and officials within DBT, FCDO and MOD, consider every application on a case-by-case basis.

On the basis of such assessments this Government has been clear that the UK does not licence the export of any bombs or ammunition for use in military operations in Gaza or the West Bank.

Information on export licensing is publicly available at: Strategic export controls: quarterly licensing statistics - GOV.UK. The Government has previously published exceptional information relating to Israel available at: Export control licensing management information for Israel - GOV.UK.

Ammunition: Israel
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham)
Monday 26th January 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HMRC holds customs export data identifying exports of live munitions, including bullets or cartridges, from the United Kingdom to Israel; and whether such data distinguishes live munitions from training, sporting, and other non-combat ammunition.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is responsible for the collection of Customs declarations and the publication of data on imports and exports of goods to and from the UK.

Data on ammunition exports does not distinguish between live ammunition and other forms such as those for training or sporting activities.

Social Security Benefits
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham)
Friday 6th February 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of families subject to the household benefit cap are blended families.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

The information requested is not held centrally and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Select Committee Inquiry
29 Jan 2026
Realising potential: Delivering the Child Poverty Strategy
Work and Pensions Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

Members of the Education and Work and Pensions Select Committees have decided to undertake an inquiry that will consider how the Government can ensure it will deliver a successful Child Poverty Strategy.

On 5 December 2025, the Government published its  Child Poverty Strategy, which it estimates will lift 550,000 children out of poverty by the final year of this Parliament. The Strategy sets out measures across three different areas:

(i) boosting family incomes;

(ii) driving down the cost of essentials; and

(iii) strengthening local support.

Whilst the Strategy signals a positive step in the right direction, the Committees are seeking to explore if the Government is being sufficiently ambitious. The Committees will also consider how accountability, outcomes, and the longevity of the Strategy could be strengthened through targets, monitoring and evaluation, to ensure sustained work and progress to reduce child poverty.

Please read Parliament's guidance on giving evidence to select committees before writing your submission. For safeguarding reasons and to avoid identification, please refrain from naming specific people, educational settings or children in your submission. We are unable to publish personal testimony evidence that is submitted anonymously or contains this information. Personal testimony evidence that cannot be published will be read and summarised into an anonymised thematic note.

Your submission should be no more than 3,000 words.

You can submit evidence until 23:59 on 6 March 2026.

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry
