| 25 Mar 2026 | Engagements “Q4. May I associate myself with the Prime Minister’s remarks on the terrible Golders Green attack?

| 24 Mar 2026 | Work and Pensions Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1683) “Good morning, Dame Rachel. In terms of monitoring and evaluating the strategy, the Government say they are going to be publishing their first baseline report in the summer. You said a moment ago that you have to measure it. In your view, what should be set out in that report?” | 50 |
| 24 Mar 2026 | Work and Pensions Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1683) “I am sure that would be welcome.
