Wednesday 17th December 2025

Asked by: Cameron Thomas (Liberal Democrat - Tewkesbury)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the Autumn Budget 2025 on the mental health of (a) publicans and (b) people working in the hospitality sector.

USA: Defence
Monday 15th December 2025

Asked by: Cameron Thomas (Liberal Democrat - Tewkesbury)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the US National Security Strategy, dated November 2025.

Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans)

Just last weekend, 24 hours after the National Security Strategy was launched, I was in the US at the Reagan National Defence Forum – and spoke about this very issue with US and European Defence leaders.

The US remains a critical ally and we will continue to work closely with them on NATO and wider Euro-Atlantic security.
