Arms Trade: Exports
Asked by: Shockat Adam (Independent - Leicester South) Wednesday 14th May 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department can exempt from arms export licensing products with a direct military application; and whether any such exemptions have been granted since 2022. Answered by Douglas Alexander - Minister of State (Cabinet Office) The requirement for an export licence for military goods is set out in the Export Control Order 2008. Export licence applications for all controlled goods are rigorously assessed on a case-by-case basis against strict assessment criteria, the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. Where licence applications include items that are not covered by the 2008 Order, exporters can be informed that no licence is required. |

Mental Health Services: Waiting Lists
Asked by: Shockat Adam (Independent - Leicester South) Monday 2nd June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce the waiting time for access to mental health services. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is delivering new and innovative models of care in the community. As part of this, we have launched six neighbourhood adult mental health centres to bring together community, crisis, and inpatient care; these are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. NHS England’s Planning Guidance for 2025/26 makes clear that for this year, to support reform and improvements, we expect all providers to reduce the variation in children and young people accessing services and improve productivity We are also improving data quality so we can support providers in understanding demand across their areas. Since July 2023, NHS England has included waiting times metrics for referrals to urgent and community-based mental health services in its monthly mental health statistics publication to help services target the longest waits. Our 10-Year Health Plan will inform the future vision and delivery plan for mental health services in England. Earlier intervention remains a key focus of the plan with the aim of reducing pressure on mental health services. |

Police: Biometrics
Asked by: Shockat Adam (Independent - Leicester South) Monday 2nd June 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that the use of facial recognition and AI technologies by the police is transparent. Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office) Facial recognition is an important tool that assists the police in protecting the public, and identifying the perpetrators of crime, and we want to ensure that we maximise the potential of that technology to support our Safer Streets mission. At the same time, we recognise the importance of ensuring that facial recognition technology operates on a firm footing, and I have been meeting with the police, regulators, civil society groups, industry and others to discuss this matter carefully. We will continue to have those discussions, and I will be meeting with MPs and Peers in the coming weeks. |
