Housing Benefit: Temporary Accommodation
Asked by: Peter Lamb (Labour - Crawley) Monday 19th May 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reason the Housing Benefit subsidy for temporary housing has not increased since 2011. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) DWP pays local authorities a Housing Benefit subsidy for temporary accommodation cases. There are restrictions on the amount paid, including a subsidy cap which is £500 per week in certain areas of London or £375 elsewhere.
We recognise the financial pressures which local authorities are experiencing. MHCLG are increasing funding for homelessness services this year by an extra £233 million compared to last year (2024/25). We continue to keep the rates used for Housing Benefit subsidy under review and are working closely with MHCLG and the Inter-Ministerial Group on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping to explore the impacts of subsidy rates on local authorities. Any future decisions on subsidy rates will be taken in the context of the Government’s missions, goals on housing and the current challenging financial environment at the appropriate fiscal event.

Nuclear Reactors: Thorium
Asked by: Peter Lamb (Labour - Crawley) Thursday 22nd May 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of developing thorium-based molten salt reactors in the UK. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Nuclear is a key part of the government's national mission to be a clean energy superpower. The government believes that Advanced Nuclear Technologies (ANTs) could play an important role in helping the UK achieve energy security and clean power while securing thousands of good, skilled jobs.
DESNZ is aware of and monitors the progress of a wide range of advanced reactors in design development by companies around the world, including Thorium Molten Salt reactors. |

Meta: Animal Welfare
Asked by: Peter Lamb (Labour - Crawley) Thursday 22nd May 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will have discussions with Meta on removing monkey abuse content from its platforms. Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) Government ministers and officials regularly discuss online safety matters with stakeholders including online platforms such as Meta. Under the Online Safety Act’s ‘illegal content duties’, social media platforms including Meta have duties to implement measures to tackle animal abuse content and remove it from their services. Ofcom is the UK’s independent regulator for online safety responsible for regulating services and taking enforcement action as appropriate. It has published recommendations for how providers should fulfil their illegal content duties in codes of practice and documentation. These include specific provisions about animal abuse content. These duties took effect on 17 March. |

3 Jun 2025
Propriety, ethics and the wider standards landscape in the UK Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 26 Aug 2025) The Government has a manifesto commitment to “restore confidence in government and ensure ministers are held to the highest standards". Trust in government and the political system more widely is essential to the proper functioning and prosperity of a democratic state. Concerns with ethical standards are not new, however controversy surrounding the propriety of conduct of those in public life was a particularly prominent part of political life during the last parliament. This has raised questions as to whether the current system of ethical standards regulation is sufficient or even fit for purpose. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry. |
