To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Smith of Malvern on 17 July (HL1821), how they will inform stakeholders and parliamentarians of changes to Universal Credit as a result of the Universal Credit Review.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Smith of Malvern on 17 July (HL1821), how they will inform stakeholders and parliamentarians of changes to Universal Credit as a result of the Universal Credit Review.
The Universal Credit Review has been designed as an ongoing flexible programme of engagement, evidence gathering and policy development rather than a single review culminating in a final report. This approach has allowed the Department to respond to evidence as it emerges and take forward improvements where appropriate.
Any future changes to Universal Credit arising from the Review will be announced in line with established Government and Parliamentary processes.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of making refugee protections temporary subject to review every 30 months.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of making refugee protections temporary subject to review every 30 months.
The 30-month review period for those granted protection reflects the Government’s view that protection should be provided for as long as it is needed. As conditions in countries of origin can change over time, it is appropriate to review whether an individual continues to require international protection before further permission is granted.
Individuals with an ongoing protection need will have their status renewed, while those who no longer require protection will be expected to leave the UK unless they qualify for leave on another basis. Safe return reviews have long been a feature of the UK's protection system. Protection needs can change over time, and it is therefore right that an individual's circumstances are reviewed before further leave or settlement is granted. The Government remains committed to providing protection to those who need it, in line with the UK's international obligations.
Settlement for those granted protection has never been automatic. Individuals have always needed to meet the requirements in place at the point they become eligible to apply, including demonstrating that they continue to require protection where relevant. The principle that protection should be provided for as long as it is needed, and reviewed where circumstances change, is a longstanding feature of the UK's protection system.
In addition, in future those on core protection will be able to switch to the protection work and study route, which will provide greater certainty about their future in the UK. This will also allow them to earn down the time it takes to obtain settlement and open up refugee family reunion rights. Individuals who switch to this route will no longer be subject to safe return reviews, recognising their contribution through work or study.
The Attorney General has the power to refer to the Court of Appeal sentences for certain offences which they believe to be "unduly lenient". This power to refer is sometimes called the 'unduly lenient sentence scheme'.

The Royal Navy constantly reviews out-of-service dates to achieve maximum availability of its platforms for operational tasking. For operational security reasons, the Royal Navy does not release the out-of-service dates of individual platforms. The Class out-of-service date for OPV Batch 1 is 2028.
Following the Defence Investment Plan, which allocates £200 million to Offshore Patrol Vessels, future OPV deployment plans will be reviewed to ensure they remain aligned with Defence priorities.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who the stakeholders were that they obtained evidence from during the call for Evidence Business Rates review, which closed on 18th Feb.

We are carefully considering representations we’ve received, and a Government response to the Call for Evidence will be published in due course.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what mechanisms exist to provide an independent review of decisions by the Student Loans Company to recover alleged outstanding loan balances arising from administrative errors by public bodies; and whether she has assessed the adequacy of those mechanisms in cases where borrowers...
In instances where the Student Loan Company’s (SLC) internal appeals and complaints process has been exhausted, borrowers may appeal to the Independent Assessors (IA). IAs are appointed by ministers to review any appeals and complaints made against the SLC and their independence from the SLC provides assurance that the process to consider complaints and appeals is sufficiently rigorous.
In cases where an outstanding balance is identified after a borrower believes they have settled their account in full, regulations provide the SLC with the ability to restart repayments where appropriate. Any action taken will be subject to the circumstances of the individual case and relevant policy considerations.

To ask His Majesty's Government whether their ongoing pension reviews will assess the pension gender gap for women living with a terminal diagnosis.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether their ongoing pension reviews will assess the pension gender gap for women living with a terminal diagnosis.
The Government recognises that disparities exist between the private pension wealth of men and women.
The Pensions Commission will explore steps to improve pension outcomes, especially for groups at the greatest risk of under saving, including women. The Commission published their interim report on 19 May 2026, setting out key challenges facing the pension system and where it will focus its work, and will publish their final report early next year.
For those living with terminal illness, the Government believes it is compassionate and appropriate to allow access to private pension savings. Individuals with a life expectancy of less than 12 months may take a serious ill-health lump sum at any age, subject to medical evidence and scheme rules. This is tax-free below age 75 up to an allowance of £1.073 million, and otherwise taxed as income.
While the current rules intend to provide flexibility while keeping in place important safeguards to avoid risk of error and misuse, the Government recognises that the permissive nature of these rules means individuals may experience different hurdles to access depending on their scheme. The government wishes to ensure a fair and compassionate approach and will therefore be considering this issue in further detail.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Review into the Organisation, Performance and Transformation of the Permanent Civil Service, published on 1 July 2026, whether he will consult His Majesty’s Official Opposition on the proposals once that review has reported.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Review into the Organisation, Performance and Transformation of the Permanent Civil Service, published on 1 July 2026, whether he will consult His Majesty’s Official Opposition on the proposals once that review has reported.
The Review into the Organisation, Performance and Transformation of the Permanent Civil Service (“the Review”) will draw on a wide range of expert advisers from academia, private, public, civil society, and international spheres. It will welcome views and input from across Parliament, including through engagement with the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee and the Lords Constitutional Committee.
As the Terms of Reference set out, the Review will consider the wide range of activities undertaken by the Civil Service and will culminate in a report setting out a vision for the future Civil Service as a world class institution, to deliver for Ministers and the public. The Review will report before summer 2027, and it will be made available to the public.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to publish the findings of their review of Universal Credit; and if so, when.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to publish the findings of their review of Universal Credit; and if so, when.
Since launching the Universal Credit Review in late 2024, we have engaged extensively with stakeholders, organisations and customers to understand better how Universal Credit is working in practice and where there may be opportunities for improvement. The Review has strengthened the Department’s evidence base and informed work across a number of policy areas where stakeholders and customers identified opportunities to improve how Universal Credit operates in practice.
We are not planning to publish a single final report, as the Review has been designed as a continuing programme of engagement, evidence gathering and policy development. This approach allows the Department to respond to evidence as it emerges and take forward improvements where appropriate.
