20 May 2026Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49)

We heard in previous sessions that, written PQs from the Lords sometimes receive different responses from written PQs from the Commons. It does not happen very often, from what I gather, but sometimes it occurs. Have you experienced that with FOI requests?

20 May 2026Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49)

This is a question for all members of the panel. How do the public and organisations outside Parliament make use of written PQs, for example by making use of the responses to them that are published on a daily basis?

20 May 2026Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49)

Can I go back to the 20% to 30% of cases that are resolved via internal review? Is that because the reason given for not disclosing the information is one that you disagree with, and the authority has reflected and said, “Actually, that’s right”? It is not, say, commercially sensitive information or something like that

20 May 2026Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49)

Could you explain to us how the appeal route for FOI requests works? Also, when you have to refer back, how often is information that was initially withheld released as a result of an internal review or an appeal to the ICO?

28 Apr 2026Use of Shops for Illegal Activities

I present a petition on behalf of residents of my constituency of Southgate and Wood Green who are concerned about illegal activities in shops on local high streets. It has been well documented in both national and local media that shops are being used for illegal activities, including in my constituency, and that is c

22 Apr 2026Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

Five years ago, my constituent Nadine tragically lost her brother Trevor to epilepsy. An inquest into Trevor’s death ruled that his healthcare team and prison staff at the prison that he was in had not carried out their duties, which led directly to his death. Trevor’s death, sadly, is one of many that highlight a clea

22 Apr 2026Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1526)

I will ask my question from last week again, as I do not think that you had the opportunity to answer it fully. As you both know, the Table Office checks and, where necessary, sub-edits WPQs under the authority of the Speaker and in line with the rules set out in “Erskine May”. Those rules state that questions must hav

As a follow-up, do you think that it is appropriate for Members to submit WPQs on behalf of charities, lobby groups or party headquarters?

14 Apr 2026Hidden Credit Liabilities: Role of the FCA

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Roger. I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell) on securing this very important debate and on his excellent speech to start it off. I will illustrate the failings of the Financial Conduct Authority in dealing with com

Over 220 million children worldwide are not in education. The UN sustainable development goal 4 is unlikely to be met by 2030. What investment is the UK making to support global efforts to help those children?
