Euro 2028 Asked by: Baroness Kennedy of Cradley (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 17th June 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the benefit to the UK economy of co-hosting the 2028 UEFA European Football Championship. Answered by Baroness Twycross - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) Following an independent assessment, co-hosting UEFA EURO 2028 is predicted to deliver £3.2 billion of socio-economic benefits across the UK - creating jobs, driving regional growth, and bringing a surge of international visitors whose spending will boost local economies. As part of its wider investment into the tournament, and to maximise the benefits of hosting, the UK Government is contributing £23 million towards a cross-partnership social impact fund of around £45 million. This investment will fund programmes that will have ‘togetherness’ at its heart, directly supporting the Government’s mission of patriotic renewal by creating a more socially cohesive country with an inclusive national story.
Vehicle Number Plates Asked by: Baroness Kennedy of Cradley (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 23rd June 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to shut down the manufacture in the UK of ghost number plates and other products designed to prevent motor vehicles being recorded by automatic number plate recognition cameras. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) The Government recognises the impact of number plate crime and is committed to addressing this issue. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) works closely with police forces and the National Police Chiefs’ Council to improve the identification and enforcement of number plate crime. In its Road Safety Strategy published on 7 January 2026, the Government set out its vision for a safer future on our roads for all. As part of this, the Department for Transport is reviewing motoring offences and has sought views on the introduction of penalty points and vehicle seizure for the offence of being in charge of a motor vehicle with an incorrect, altered or false number plate. The consultation closed on 11 May and responses are being considered, including whether legislative changes are needed to strengthen the current regulatory and enforcement powers. The DVLA is also considering options to ensure a more robust, auditable Register of Number Plate Supplier process, which would enable tighter checks on manufacturers and the number plates they supply.
