Written Questions can be tabled by MPs and Lords to request specific information information on the work, policy and activities of a Government Department
17th Jul 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will introduce a licencing regime for builders.

This Government backs our wonderful construction industry and is working to ensure we have a high-quality and professional construction industry, with consumer protection at the heart of this. TrustMark, sponsored by the Department and licenced by the Government, is the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme that covers work a consumer chooses to have carried out in or around their home. In addition the Building Safety Act 2022 has introduced competence requirements for both individuals and businesses working in the built environment.

Any action that the Government takes forward more widely on licensing to protect customers and standards needs to be robust, proportionate and evidence based.

Sarah Jones
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
17th Jul 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to limit the liability of licenced commercial spaceflight operators.

Guidance already specifies that all spaceflight operator licences issued under the Space Industry Act 2018 limit an operator’s liability. This Government will look at opportunities to amend Section 12(2) of the Act to make this clear in legislation under Section 36 of the Act.

Chris Bryant
Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
