Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the value of profits made by Corporate Travel Management under the Stanwell Hotel asylum contract; and whether any profits made have been returned to the Government.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office entered into an agreement with Corporate Travel Management (CTM) in April 2025. Accommodation at the Stanwell Hotel is provided as part of the contracted services.

Given this contract has been in place for a short period of time, the first financial returns have not yet been provided to the Home Office. These will be made available to the Home Office for review at the next quarterly supplier relationship management board taking place shortly.

The contract between the Home Office and CTM does not include profit share or commission share mechanisms.

Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of introducing a digital identity system on levels of equality.

Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

As we build and deliver digital ID, the government will undertake the biggest ever programme to drive digital inclusion, to ensure that every person can access all the benefits of using digital tools to access public services.

We are working with expert organisations and community groups to identify barriers and risks early, and that inclusion programmes reach people where they are.

More details will be set out in our public consultation later this year.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to increase the provision of equipment to Ukraine.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

We can be very proud as a nation that this year, the UK will give more military support to Ukraine than ever, with a £4.5 billion boost, including £600 million into accelerating drone delivery.

As part of the £1.6 billion announced earlier this year, we recently announced delivery of an extra 140 lightweight-multirole missiles ahead of schedule and a UK-Ukrainian project to mass produce thousands of advanced air defence interceptor drones to help take down shahids and cruise missile attacking civilians Ukraine.

The UK is co-leading the Ukraine Defence Contact Group with Germany and Coalition of the Willing with France, encouraging allies to provide more to Ukraine.
