Latest 4 Written Questions
(View all written questions)1 Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Questions
(View all Phil Wilson's BEIS questions)I have met with manufacturing businesses at roundtables across the country to encourage them to get ready for Brexit and the opportunities beyond.
The recent opening of Jaguar Land Rover’s £500 million Advanced Product Creation Centre is a real vote of confidence in the UK’s future as a stronger, greener economy after we have left the European Union.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)
We are seeking a deep and special partnership with the European Union. Our relationship with the European Union's agencies and bodies upon exit will be evaluated on this basis.
Prior to any decisions on establishing new UK-level bodies, the Government will, however, always look to minimise disruption and costs, which will include considering alternative options. In most cases we anticipate that repatriated EU functions can be absorbed by departments and existing public bodies.
We will continue to plan for a range of scenarios and be ready to take any necessary steps to ensure that we are ready for exit day.
Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)
Hybrid threats present themselves in many domains. Therefore, we utilise a ‘whole of government’ approach to protecting the UK against such activity. The MOD works collaboratively with other government departments, in line with Fusion Doctrine, to support this approach.
It is important that the UK continues to work with and support our international partners in NATO and the EU, contributing to and drawing upon the different tools of these organisations to protect against hybrid threats.

(View all Phil Wilson's DLUHC questions)The Conservative election manifesto committed to give local people the final say on onshore wind farm applications. The new considerations to be applied to proposed wind energy development were set out in the Written Statement of 18 June, HCWS 42. Onshore wind turbines should only get the go-ahead when and where local people have said they want them.
