Visas: Ireland
Asked by: Sorcha Eastwood (Alliance - Lagan Valley) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of undertaking discussions with her Irish counterpart on establishing an all-island work visa for the island of Ireland. Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) The UK and Ireland have a close and collaborative working relationship on a range of issues, including migration and border security which is underpinned by our joint commitment to protecting the Common Travel Area (CTA) from abuse while preserving the rights of British and Irish citizens. However, the operation of the CTA has never required the UK and Ireland to have entirely harmonised immigration arrangements and UK immigration policy is determined for the benefit of the UK. |

Journalism: Northern Ireland
Asked by: Sorcha Eastwood (Alliance - Lagan Valley) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will commission a judge-led public inquiry into the surveillance of journalists in Northern Ireland by MI5. Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Cabinet Office) MI5’s use of covert investigatory powers is subject to strong safeguards under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and their related statutory Codes of Practice. Robust independent oversight of these powers is provided by the Investigatory Powers Commissioner. This includes specific additional protections in respect of journalistic material and sources, as well as material subject to legal privilege. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal is an independent judicial body that provides the right of redress to anyone who believes they have been the victim of unlawful action by a public authority using covert techniques. For this reason, it is not necessary to conduct a public inquiry into the surveillance of journalists in Northern Ireland by MI5. |

Housing Benefit and Universal Credit: Supported Housing
Asked by: Sorcha Eastwood (Alliance - Lagan Valley) Wednesday 15th October 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential financial impact of the Housing Benefit and Universal Credit interaction on young people in supported accommodation who move into work. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) We acknowledge there is a challenge arising from the interaction between Universal Credit and Housing Benefit, particularly for young people living in supported and temporary accommodation, including the different income tapers used by each benefit.
Currently, a broad spectrum of customers receive their rent support through Housing Benefit. This includes pensioners, residents in Supported or Temporary Accommodation and customers who have not yet migrated to Universal Credit. Any amendment to the Housing Benefit taper rules would apply to all these groups.
We are considering options to improve work incentives for residents of supported housing and temporary accommodation, while considering the views of stakeholders. Any future decisions on DWP housing support will be taken in the round and measures which best meet Government goals, within the current fiscal environment, will be prioritised.
It remains the department’s priority to ensure that those who can work are supported to enter the labour market and to sustain employment. |
