Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Satvir Kaur and John Glen

Thursday 5th March 2026 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office (Satvir Kaur)]

I pay tribute to my hon. Friend, and to the important work being done by the new Long Eaton Business Partnership. This is exactly the kind of project to which the Office for the Impact Economy adds value. I am very happy to meet him to discuss how that can be maximised in his constituency, to improve the neighbourhood for his constituents.

[John Glen (Salisbury) (Con)]

Given the progress made by the Infected Blood Compensation Authority, will the Paymaster General update the House? Over £140 million has been spent by the inquiry. Has he had any conversations with Sir Brian Langstaff on when will be the right time to close down that inquiry, and whether he has wider lessons about the way that public inquiries function?
