If he will make an assessment of the potential merits of devolving (a) the Post Office in Wales and (b) his Departmental powers to Wales.
There are no plans to devolve the Post Office in Wales. The access criteria set by Government ensures Post Office delivers essential services across all four nations of the UK via its network of 11,500 branches. We will work closely with the Welsh Government in line with the existing devolution settlement. Welsh businesses can access a range of DBT support including those delivered through our unrivalled international network at posts overseas.
If she will make an assessment of the adequacy of routes available to people in Gaza to join families in the UK.
The Government is determined to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, rapidly increase aid, and the return of all hostages. The government is keeping all existing pathways under review in response to events. We are assisting British nationals and other eligible people to leave Gaza, liaising closely with the Israeli and Egyptian authorities. The current position is that Palestinians who wish to join family members in the UK can do so via the existing range of routes available to work, study or join family in the UK. Any application for a UK visa will be assessed against the requirements of the Immigration Rules. Immediate family members of British citizens and those settled in the UK who wish to come and live in the UK can apply under one of the existing family visa routes.
If she will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a family reunification visa scheme for people in Gaza.
Currently, Palestinians who wish to join family members in the UK can do so via the existing range of routes available. Any application for a UK visa will be assessed against the requirements of the Immigration Rules. Immediate family members of British citizens and those settled in the UK who wish to come and live in the UK can apply under one of the existing family visa routes. There are also routes available for dependants of those who are in the UK on a work or student route. Individuals with protection status or settlement on a protection route may sponsor their partner or child (under 18), to join or stay with them in the UK, providing they formed part of the pre-flight family unit before the sponsor fled their country to seek protection. When the visa application has been received, consideration will be given to compelling, compassionate and exceptional circumstances.
