Confidence in Her Majesty’s Government

"I am very grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way, because Britishvolt has its headquarters stationed at MIRA technology park. Is not such levelling up in the midlands and the north-east under this Government exactly why we should have confidence in this Government’s agenda?..."

Written Question
Policy: Children and Young People
Monday 21st March 2022

Asked by: Luke Evans (Conservative - Hinckley and Bosworth)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he is taking steps to engage with (a) children and (b) young people to help inform departmental policy making.

Answered by Michael Ellis

The Cabinet Office is committed to engaging all relevant stakeholders when developing policy, including children and young people. The department’s policy profession disseminates guidance and training to departmental policy makers.

One such example would be guidance issued by the Department for Work and Pensions on ensuring that the impact of policy on families is taken into account.

Another example would be when the Cabinet Office established a dedicated youth engagement team to amplify the voices and experiences of young climate leaders to generate the sense of urgency needed for the world to act for COP26. The team worked closely with youth NGOs and individuals both in the UK and across the world to deliver an inclusive conference in Glasgow last November.

Written Question
Veterans: Leicestershire
Tuesday 1st February 2022

Asked by: Luke Evans (Conservative - Hinckley and Bosworth)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to ensure that the views of veterans in (a) Leicestershire and (b) Bosworth are taken into account in the (a) execution of the Veterans Action Plan and (b) work of the Veterans Commissioner for England.

Answered by Leo Docherty

Understanding our veteran community is one of the three key areas of action set out in the 2022-2024 Veterans Strategy Action Plan.

The plan contains a range of commitments aiming to improve our insights on veterans’ needs and experiences to inform how we deliver the Strategy for our Veterans. As well as commitments including continued engagement with Local Authorities and analysis of data collected during the 2021 Census in England and Wales, I will introduce a Veterans Survey. The Survey will provide an opportunity for veterans, including those in Leicestershire and Bosworth, to give us their views and inform policy delivery and development. The Independent Veterans Advisor will continue to draw on his extensive network, across the entirety of the UK, to shape delivery of the Strategy.

Written Question
Supply Chains
Monday 8th November 2021

Asked by: Luke Evans (Conservative - Hinckley and Bosworth)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of reviewing national preparedness for potential stresses on just-in-time supply chains.

Answered by Michael Ellis

There are arrangements in place across Government to understand the risks to supply chains and to ensure proportionate contingency plans are in place to mitigate those risks. There are currently many complex global issues affecting many countries - not just the UK. However, the Government does recognise the impact of supply chain issues on UK businesses and households.

On 8 October 2021, the Prime Minister appointed Sir Dave Lewis as the UK Government's supply chain adviser to provide advice on both immediate improvements and any necessary long term changes.
