Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 7 February 2025 to Question 21386 on Workplace Pensions: Inheritance Tax, what the benefits are of the The Pensions Increase (Pension Scheme for Keir Starmer QC) Regulations 2013; and how those benefits differ from the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Pensions Increase (Pension Scheme for Sir Keir Starmer QC) Regulations 2013 only provide for pension increases. The pension scheme to which these regulations relate was made by the then Minister for the Cabinet Office and laid before Parliament on 15 March 2012. The terms of the "Pension Scheme for Keir Starmer QC" are akin to those of the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 (JUPRA).

<p>Well, thank you very much, Delyth Jewell. And I’m glad that you’ve raised this question this afternoon in the Senedd. I think we’re all horrified by what’s happening in Gaza, the humanitarian situation—it's the worst humanitarian situation that we see. And I am pleased that, yesterday, the UK Government issued that joint statement with France and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank. Just to quote from that statement from Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney:</p>
<p>'If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.'</p>
<p>'We have always supported Israel's right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate.'</p>
<p>I did issue a&nbsp;statement on 8 May—it was a written statement on the humanitarian aid blockade in Gaza—in response to questions raised in the Senedd, and said at that time,</p>
<p>'The Welsh Government continues to call for a lift on the aid blockade in Gaza.'</p>
<p>And I think it's important to say, as I said in my statement, we've said that humanitarian aid should never be used as a political tool, and we joined the UK Government in calling for Israel to respect international law and allow the unhindered flow of aid into Gaza.</p>

<p>It's becoming very clear that nothing has changed since that speech from two weeks ago. When Keir Starmer says it's a good deal then it must be a good deal for Wales. Barely two weeks have passed since that so-called 'red Welsh way' speech, but that speech has struck&nbsp;a dead end.</p>
<p>Here was another fork in the road, which called for the Labour Welsh Government to stand up for Wales's interests, but it did nothing, and wasn't invited to either. Once again, Wales's voice wasn't heard at the table, and we know what that means.&nbsp;When we're not at the table, pretty often we are on the menu.</p>
<p>So, let's cut to it. The only growth happening on the Prime Minister's watch is the size of the Brexit elephant in the room. No matter whether people voted leave or remain, nobody voted to put a dagger through the heart of the Welsh economy.</p>
<p>In 2018, a Labour Welsh Government Minister said:</p>
<p>'The Labour government has been very clear in terms of the Welsh position that we want to remain in the single market and the customs union. That has been a commitment from the UK Labour party during the transition period.&nbsp;We'd like them to go further. We'd like that commitment to be for the long term'.</p>
<p>That's what was said. Does the First Minister recall who said it?</p>

<p>Diolch, Llywydd. Yesterday, the UK&nbsp;Government signed a new deal with the European Union, and I'm pleased that there is some acceptance now of the harm of Brexit, but it's not bold enough in its response to that reality. Yes, the Tories did botch Brexit, and it's quite a sight to behold their denial, after their disastrous conference over the weekend, but Labour also is botching its response to the Brexit damage. With its so-called 'partnership in power' and promise of two Labour Governments working together in the interest of the people of Wales, I would have expected the First Minister to have been sighted on the deal in advance and to have been given an opportunity to influence the Prime Minister, especially given that parts of the deal involved areas of devolved responsibility. But, in yet another signal that Wales's voice matters little to UK Labour, the First Minister has admitted—I heard her myself—she was again sidelined, including on those aspects of the deal&nbsp;that fall under the jurisdiction of this Senedd. Why does she continue to allow Keir Starmer to treat the Welsh Government, this institution and the people of Wales with such contempt?&nbsp;</p>

<p>First Minister, the new immigration White Paper launched by Keir Starmer last week fails to recognise the contribution that migrant workers and overseas students make to our economy, and represents a further lurch to the right from a Prime Minister determined to dance to Nigel Farage’s tune. In fact, I find it increasingly difficult to recognise today’s Labour Party as it has strayed so far from its roots, as cuts to winter fuel payments and disability benefits, the two-child benefit cap and the betrayal of the Port Talbot steelworkers all demonstrate. The latest attack on migrants represents a further retreat from what the Labour Welsh Government claims are its core values. Will the First Minister, therefore, condemn the direction that her party leader has taken on immigration, or does she, as Starmer said of Liz Saville-Roberts in Westminster last week, believe that I’m also talking rubbish?</p>

<p>Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, yesterday's UK-EU summit should have been about taking Wales, along with the rest of the United Kingdom, forward. But, instead, Keir Starmer and the UK Government reopened the old Brexit battles that we have already fought and won and made some appalling announcements. So, let's be clear about what this deal means: free movement back, payments to the EU back, EU rules back, our fishing industry here in Wales betrayed, an unacceptable mobility scheme, billions of taxpayers' money going back to Brussels, being forced to accept EU rules and decisions from the European court, and European fishing boats in Welsh waters, in British waters, for at least the next 12 years. First Minister, you've got a responsibility to stand up for Wales and represent us. Why on earth have you welcomed this absolutely dreadful deal?</p>

<p>Thank you very much, Llywydd. This week, we've heard Keir Starmer blaming migration for a lack of skills and low productivity in the workforce, which is unforgivable in my view. If we are to increase productivity in Wales, the Government needs to invest in skills in our local workforce that correspond to future skills needs. Housing does provide great opportunities for the Welsh economy in terms of construction and retrofitting homes. In 2021, modelling by CITB Cymru—they are the board responsible for training the construction industry—showed that we will need 12,000 additional workers in Wales in order to deliver home retrofitting by 2028. But as your own backbenchers have highlighted, we are nowhere near where we need to be in terms of building the skills required in the local workforce in order to deliver the Government's ambitions for improving homes.</p>
<p>So, rather than casting the blame on the most vulnerable, can you give us an idea of what progress your Government has made in terms of upskilling the local workforce in Wales to take advantage of the economic opportunities that the change to clean energy in homes could bring?</p>
