Turkey: Minority Groups
Asked by: Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party - East Antrim) Wednesday 3rd September 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his counterpart in Turkey on the treatment of (a) Alevis, (b) Kurds and (c) Christian minorities in that country. Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The Government maintains a regular dialogue with Turkey, a key North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ally and strategic partner. The UK supports the rights of all minority groups in Turkey, including Alevis, Jews, Christians, Kurds and others. The right to freedom of religion or belief is clearly enshrined in the Turkish constitution and both Ministers and officials have raised the treatment of minority groups with their Turkish counterparts. |
India: Christianity
Asked by: Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party - East Antrim) Wednesday 3rd September 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Indian counterpart on (a) violence against and (b) the effect of anti-conversion laws on Christians in India. Answered by Catherine West The UK Government is committed to promoting and protecting the right to freedom of religion or belief globally. We continue to monitor developments affecting religious communities in India, including Christians, and consider these issues as part of our broader human rights work. We support efforts to uphold inclusive societies and the rule of law, and we regularly engage with international partners and stakeholders on matters relating to human rights. The British High Commission in New Delhi and Deputy High Commissions across India regularly meet with religious representatives from different faith communities and monitor the situation closely. |
Amusement Arcades: Anti-social Behaviour and Violence
Asked by: Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party - East Antrim) Thursday 4th September 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what obligations adult gaming centre operators have to report (a) antisocial behaviour and (b) violence on their premises to the police. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) DCMS and the Gambling Commission do not hold data on the number or nature of police call outs to adult gaming centres.
All licensed gambling operators must uphold the licensing objectives set out in the Gambling Act, which include preventing gambling from being a source of, or associated with, crime or disorder. Licensing authorities are also able to set specific conditions on premises licences to mitigate risks posed by antisocial behaviour and crime, such as enhanced security requirements. Premises licence holders must also conduct a local area risk assessment for each of their premises, which includes risk mitigation related to crime and anti-social behaviour. Additionally, schemes such as Betwatch, a community-based crime prevention scheme, are designed to tackle localised anti-social and criminal behaviour in and around betting shops. |

Biodiversity: Property Development
Asked by: Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party - East Antrim) Tuesday 9th September 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has considered the potential impact of the recent consultation on Biodiversity Net Gain on (a) investors and (b) developers. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) We are mindful of the impacts of any changes to Biodiversity Net Gain on all those involved, especially developers and investors.

Biodiversity
Asked by: Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party - East Antrim) Tuesday 9th September 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, for what reason his Department is consulting on proposals to change Biodiversity Net Gain requirements for small sites and medium sites one year after Biodiversity Net Gain became mandatory; and what evidence he has used to inform this approach. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Government has been working closely with stakeholders to gather feedback and evidence on how BNG is being implemented. Early information suggests BNG implementation is largely working as intended, but there is emerging evidence that some smaller developments and specific types of development are finding BNG more challenging than anticipated. The proposals in the consultation seek feedback on potential changes to make it quicker, cheaper and easier for developers to deliver BNG obligations, while broadly maintaining environmental outcomes. |

5 Sep 2025
The Environment in Focus Environmental Audit Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 10 Oct 2025) The House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) has launched an open call for potential topics of inquiry in the areas of climate change, the environment and nature. ‘The Environment in focus’ Inquiry invites proposals on what the Committee should investigate next and why. Up to 10 individuals will then be invited to pitch their proposal to MPs on the Committee in a public session. The winning proposal will form the basis of a new inquiry by the Committee. The Committee seeks ideas for inquiries from anyone with an interest in the environment and climate change, including members of the public. So far in this Parliament, we have published reports on the role of natural capital, the UK and the Antarctic and Governing the marine environment. We are currently running inquiries into Environmental sustainability and housing growth, Flood resilience in England, Airport expansion and Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Previously, in February 2023, the Committee conducted a ‘My EAC Inquiry’ exercise, which led to an inquiry into Heat resilience and sustainable cooling, and a subsequent report published in January 2024. This was based on similar past ‘My Science’ inquiries carried out by the former Science and Technology Committee in 2017 (Algorithms in decision-making), 2019 (E-cigarettes) and 2022 (bacteriophages). Deadline for proposals Friday 10 October Please submit a proposal of no more than 250 words for an inquiry to be carried out by the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee. This should set out what the inquiry should focus on, why it matters and what action is needed from the Government to address the issues identified in the proposal. Please note that the Committee does not look at specific local issues, but at matters that have wider relevance. The Committee will contact those whose proposals that have been selected for oral pitches. |
23 Sep 2025
The Seventh Carbon Budget Environmental Audit Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 4 Nov 2025) This Environmental Audit Committee inquiry will examine the Climate Change Committee's advice on the Seventh Carbon Budget. It will consider the assumptions and costs underpinning the CCC’s recommendations, explore the balance between emerging and established technologies, the policy choices facing Government, and the potential impacts on households, businesses and the wider economy. The inquiry will also look at how the Government should communicate choices and trade-offs, and how Parliament and the public can best scrutinise delivery plans and progress. Read the call for evidence for more information about this inquiry, and to find out how to submit written evidence through the Committee’s online evidence submission portal. |
