Speech in Commons Chamber - Mon 03 Nov 2025
Public Office (Accountability) Bill

"The Hillsborough law we debate today is not an historical problem; it is something that my constituents need right now. I have already spoken in this place about baby Ida Lock, who died after failings in her care, and the incompetent investigation and lack of transparency that followed.

Today I …..."

Written Question
Probate: Time Limits
Monday 3rd November 2025

Asked by: Lizzi Collinge (Labour - Morecambe and Lunesdale)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department plans to review regulations on time limits for executors of wills to apply for probate.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

There are no plans to review the law on time limits for executors to apply for probate. The existing legal framework offers flexibility, accepting the probate process is a complex one undertaken at an emotional time for many personal representatives.

There is currently no maximum time limit within which a personal representative must obtain a grant of probate, but there are penalties laid down for administering an estate without a grant of representation, and there are time limits for paying tax for which an estate is liable prior to applying for a grant.

There are also mechanisms for beneficiaries and other interested parties to hold personal representatives to account for failure to act in applying for probate, and if necessary to seek their removal.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The 10-Year Health Plan, published on 3 July, set out that over the next three years we will create 1,000 new specialty training posts with a focus on specialties where there is the greatest need. We will set out next steps in due course.

Gaza and Hamas

"My colleagues have already asked about the current horror in Gaza, so I will pivot to the longer term. Before this crisis, we saw decades of illegal settlements on Palestinian territory, so I welcomed the Government’s sanctions on extremist settlers and Israeli Ministers. I do not want us to lose …..."

Sentencing Bill

"I really welcome this Sentencing Bill, because I think my constituents want not only criminals being punished for their crimes, but the prevention of future crime. It should be about not just punishment—which is rightly owed to a lot of people—but making sure that our communities are safe in the …..."
