Written Answers
Civil Servants: London Allowance
Asked by: Mark Sewards (Labour - Leeds South West and Morley)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will take steps to ensure that London weighted salaries for civil servants only apply to employees that live in London.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

Decisions on pay, including London weighting, are delegated to individual departments for grades below the Senior Civil Service (SCS). The SCS pay framework is managed centrally and only operates a national pay range.

Motor Vehicles: Anti-Social Behaviour
Asked by: Mark Sewards (Labour - Leeds South West and Morley)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to prevent dangerous car racing.

Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for the Government and a key part of the Safer Streets Mission.

On 25 February 2025, the Crime and Policing Bill was introduced to Parliament. The Bill includes proposals to give the police greater powers to clamp down on vehicles involved in anti-social behaviour, including dangerous street racing, with officers no longer required to issue a warning before seizing these vehicles.

This will strengthen the law and send a clear message that antisocial street racing will not be tolerated.

Excess speed is a major cause of death and serious injury on our roads and anyone who breaks the speed limit should expect to face sanctions.

Select Committee Inquiry
12 Jun 2025
Higher Education and Funding: Threat of Insolvency and International Student
Education Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 31 Jul 2025)


The UK’s higher education sector is in trouble. Dozens of universities are making redundancies and cuts to courses, trying to stay afloat amid uncertainty over where their money is coming from. 

The Education Committee will look under the bonnet at what is going on. In a focused single evidence session on 8 April, the Committee examined the perfect storm bearing down on institutions, including fluctuations in domestic and international student numbers, pension contributions, and the rate of tuition fees. 

On 13 May the Committee decided it wished to pursue a series of mini-inquiries relating to higher education. It was decided that the first mini-inquiry would concentrate on the urgent issues of the threat of insolvency in the higher education sector and international students.
