Latest 4 Written Questions

(View all written questions)
Written Questions can be tabled by MPs and Lords to request specific information information on the work, policy and activities of a Government Department
22nd Oct 2019
What recent assessment she has made of the effect on manufacturing industry of the UK leaving the EU.

I have met with manufacturing businesses at roundtables across the country to encourage them to get ready for Brexit and the opportunities beyond.

The recent opening of Jaguar Land Rover’s £500 million Advanced Product Creation Centre is a real vote of confidence in the UK’s future as a stronger, greener economy after we have left the European Union.

12th Mar 2018
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what estimate he has made of the number of new regulatory bodies which will be required once the UK leaves the EU; and what the role of each such body will be.

We are seeking a deep and special partnership with the European Union. Our relationship with the European Union's agencies and bodies upon exit will be evaluated on this basis.

Prior to any decisions on establishing new UK-level bodies, the Government will, however, always look to minimise disruption and costs, which will include considering alternative options. In most cases we anticipate that repatriated EU functions can be absorbed by departments and existing public bodies.

We will continue to plan for a range of scenarios and be ready to take any necessary steps to ensure that we are ready for exit day.

8th Jul 2019
What steps her Department is taking to protect the UK from hybrid threats by hostile states and actors.

Hybrid threats present themselves in many domains. Therefore, we utilise a ‘whole of government’ approach to protecting the UK against such activity. The MOD works collaboratively with other government departments, in line with Fusion Doctrine, to support this approach.

It is important that the UK continues to work with and support our international partners in NATO and the EU, contributing to and drawing upon the different tools of these organisations to protect against hybrid threats.

22nd Jun 2015
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of granting local communities the right to veto wind farm applications.

The Conservative election manifesto committed to give local people the final say on onshore wind farm applications. The new considerations to be applied to proposed wind energy development were set out in the Written Statement of 18 June, HCWS 42. Onshore wind turbines should only get the go-ahead when and where local people have said they want them.
