What alternatives are available for company directors unable to use One Login.

Individuals who are required to verify are encouraged to use GOV.UK One Login where possible. This offers several routes, including using photo ID, answering online security questions, or attending a Post Office with appropriate documents. Where an individual is unable to complete verification using any One Login route, they can instead use an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), such as an accountant or solicitor, to verify their identity on their behalf. ACSPs must meet Companies House’s identity verification standard. Companies House also provides tailored support or reasonable adjustment.

Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of implementing the recommendations from Ofcom's consultation on a new crisis measure under the Online Safety Act, including the expectation on social media platforms to conduct post-crisis analyses to improve transparency.

The Online Safety Act already places significant transparency duties on regulated services. We welcome Ofcom’s proposal to build on this with post-crisis analyses, and strengthen platforms’ coordinated approach during crisis periods.We look forward to receiving Ofcom’s final decision in June 2026. Ofcom is responsible for determining and implementing the final approach and, subject to the parliamentary process, we expect any new measures to come into effect in early autumn.In Protecting What Matters, the government’s plan to improve social cohesion, we have further committed to reviewing the Act’s crisis powers to ensure they are fit for purpose.

Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of increasing Ofcom's powers under the Online Safety Act to adequately tackle disinformation and misinformation.

The Online Safety Act provides a strong, proportionate framework for tackling online mis/disinformation. Ofcom has robust powers to hold companies to account if they fail to meet their duties in the act, including significant fines and, in the most serious cases, business disruption measures.Our immediate focus is implementing the Act quickly and effectively so Ofcom can fully use the powers already provided. However, I have been clear that if gaps in the Act remain, I will not hesitate to go further.

What assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of introducing a pause between the order and delivery of alcohol from delivery apps when the order is over a certain amount.

The Licensing Act 2003 regulates the sale and supply of alcohol. The Government recognises that consumer purchasing habits have evolved in recent years, particularly with a notable growth in alcohol sales made via online platforms and rapid delivery services.The Department for Health and Social Care, which has responsibility for policy on health harms, and the Home Office are looking at how current licensing rules apply to these services and monitoring emerging evidence on the impact they may be having on people’s health. I am clear that we will act where necessary to protect public safety.To this end, I will shortly hold a roundtable jointly with the Minister for Public Health and Prevention to consider solutions with healthcare professionals and experts in the field.

Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the treatment of Bahá’ís in Iran.

The UK strongly condemns the repression of religious minorities in Iran, including members of the Baha'i faith.We were integral to the UN Human Rights Council adopting a resolution on 23 January renewing the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on Iran and the Fact-Finding Mission to monitor the situation of human rights in the country and investigate violations. This mission will also establish the facts, circumstances and structural causes of such violations, including discrimination on grounds of religion or belief.On 28 April, the UK Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB), David Smith MP, made clear that the UK will continue to monitor and pursue accountability for the dire situation for religious minorities in Iran and highlighted the abhorrent reports that Baha'is have been subject to torture and mock execution. Last July, he also delivered a speech highlighting the acute vulnerability of Baha'is to scapegoating, incitement, and threats of violence from authorities, and met Baha'i International Community UN Representative, Simin Fahandej, to discuss the current and historic situation of Baha'is in Iran.

What steps her Department is taking to improve safety for Jews in Surrey.

The Government is committed to the safety and security of Jewish communities across the UK, including in Surrey, and to tackling antisemitism wherever it occurs. Everyone should feel safe to practise their faith and participate in public life free from intimidation or fear.On 30 April, the Government announced £25 million of immediate funding for 2026/27 to strengthen policing, protect Jewish communities, and provide reassurance following the terrorist attack in Golders Green and the recent increase in antisemitic incidents. Of this, £4 million was allocated to the Jewish Community Protective Security (JCPS) Grant, bringing the total funding for the Grant to £32.4 million. This represents a record level of investment in 2026/27 to support the protection of Jewish communities. The JCPS Grant funds protective security measures at synagogues, Jewish educational institutions, and other community sites. It is administered by the Community Security Trust (CST) on behalf of the Home Office.We continue to work closely with the police and CST to monitor threats and ensure that appropriate and proportionate protective measures are in place where they are needed.Alongside this, the Government is taking a broad, cross-government approach to tackling antisemitism in all its forms. This includes action to address online hate through the Online Safety Act, under which platforms must take steps against illegal content, as well as wider work to support communities and strengthen resilience, including through programmes such as the Common Ground, which has received a £1 million expansion to support communities and places facing the greatest risk of antisemitism.
