Questions Asked by This MP
Parliamentary questions and government responses.
Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
The Prime Minister will be well aware of the global vaccination fund, Gavi. One of the United Kingdom’s great success stories, it has vaccinated from deadly diseases more than a billion children under five, it presents real value for money to British taxpayers and more than 80% of our constituents support it. Will he give the House an undertaking that Britain will continue that leadership and make a decisive pledge at next month’s replenishment conference?
Context
The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI), also known as Gavi, is a UK-founded initiative that has vaccinated over one billion children under five against deadly diseases. The organisation presents significant value for money to British taxpayers.
The Prime Minister (Keir Starmer)
This is a really important issue, as the right hon. Gentleman rightly points out. I have long supported it and will continue to support it, and I will share details with him just as soon as I can.
Assessment
The Prime Minister did not provide specific details or a concrete pledge for the upcoming replenishment conference.

The MP reminded the Prime Minister of a promise they both made not to balance the international development budget on the backs of the world's poorest. He asked for confirmation that this pledge remains.
Context
The MP referenced a previous commitment made when the government first came into office to avoid balancing books on the backs of the poorest people in the world.
Elizabeth Truss
The PM paid tribute to Andrew Mitchell's work as International Development Secretary and noted rebalancing aid towards humanitarian efforts, women, and girls. She did not provide a direct confirmation regarding the specific pledge.
Assessment
While noting recent aid focus areas, she avoided confirming whether the previous commitment remained intact.
Acknowledged Past Work Without Committing To Current Pledge

The whole House will unite behind the Prime Minister on his determination to hold Ukrainian war criminals to account, but is he aware that there are five alleged Rwandan war crimes perpetrators living freely in the UK, who have been doing so now for 16 years and have neither been extradited nor put before the British courts under our existing laws? As he prepares to go to the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Rwanda, will he look carefully at this issue, because it is bound to be raised with him? Will he reassure the House and the Rwandan Government that he takes these matters extremely seriously, and that what has so far been justice massively delayed for 16 years will not be grotesquely denied?
Context
Five alleged Rwandan war crimes perpetrators have been living in the UK for 16 years without being extradited or tried under British laws.
Boris Johnson
I thank my right hon. Friend for his question. He raises an issue on which the UK has campaigned for a long time, and no country is more committed than we are to bringing war criminals to justice. I know that my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister has raised the subject recently with the International Criminal Court. However, as he knows—it is the subject of an ongoing investigation—and it would not be appropriate for me to comment on it further.
Assessment
The Prime Minister did not provide a clear commitment to take up the issue before his visit to Rwanda or give assurances about reassurances to the House and Rwandan government.
Ongoing Investigation

Has the Prime Minister reviewed the recent Foreign Office announcement to cut UK support for neglected tropical diseases by 95%? Will he accept Mr Speaker's statement on the need for a meaningful vote on this issue and ensure it happens before the summer recess?
Context
The Foreign Office has announced a significant reduction in support for tackling neglected tropical diseases, which will affect millions of people globally.
Boris Johnson
There will be an estimates day debate on overseas aid. Despite criticisms, we are contributing £10 billion this year to official development assistance and £458 million to COVAX.
Assessment

When my right hon. Friend visited the west midlands earlier this week to meet our brilliant Mayor, Andy Street, was he aware that the Mayor has increased sevenfold the investment in transport, and we now have 108 shiny new carriages for the cross-city line? What advice does he have for my constituents in the royal town of Sutton Coldfield on 6 May?
Context
Mayor Andy Street of the west midlands has significantly increased transport investments, adding 108 new carriages to the cross-city line.
Boris Johnson
Andy Street is rolling out not only 50 new stations but 150 miles more track, linking up communities across the west midlands, delivering job opportunities, delivery growth and delivering hope for the west midlands, and that is why I think the people of the west midlands should vote for another term for Mayor Andy Street.

Will the Government make it clear that pandemics cross borders and are a serious danger to all unless contained? Is that not the essence of the case for international development?
Context
Labour's cuts to development and aid have been criticized for undermining the response to the Ebola crisis, with funding at only 5% of what was provided a decade ago during another Ebola emergency.
Chris Elmore
The UK is leading the global response on Ebola, one of the first countries to respond with funding, and the Foreign Secretary leads in securing international funding for tackling the outbreak. The right hon Gentleman raises valid concerns over health security.
Session: Ebola Outbreaks

Following the Minister’s answer to Question 1 on illicit finances, we still do not have publicly accessible registers of beneficial ownership in the overseas territories, nearly 10 years after this House passed the necessary legislation and made it clear that they must be set up. When will the Government put their foot down, say that there has been enough delay and obfuscation, and fully open up these registers to proper scrutiny now?
Stephen Doughty
The right hon. Gentleman will know that we have publicly accessible registers in some of the overseas territories—in Gibraltar and Montserrat—and there has been welcome progress on legitimate interest access registers in a number of them, including in recent weeks, but I absolutely agree that we need to go much further. We are working closely to ensure that there is progress, and I have set out my expectations very clearly.

Will the Minister continue to ensure that BII receives injections of capital so that it can go on doing its work and earning a decent return for the British taxpayer?
Context
Part of the official development assistance budget goes to investment in businesses creating employment in the poorest parts of the world, such as BII.
Chris Elmore (The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs)
I am pleased to say that the international development Minister in the other place, Baroness Chapman, is due to meet the group imminently. We will continue that work, including through my conversations with nations in the ODA context, on how we provide more support for business as one of the changes to ODA moving forward.

As Sudan is a UK lead at the UN, will the Foreign Secretary ensure that this issue is on the agenda during telephone calls between our Prime Minister and President Trump?
Context
During his visit to the White House, the Saudi Crown Prince asked President Trump for help in stopping the slaughter in Sudan.
Yvette Cooper
I have already discussed Sudan on several occasions with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and I will continue to do so. We need continued pressure from all sides on the warring parties to sign up to a ceasefire or humanitarian truce so that we can get the talks started.
Session: Sudan Ceasefire

Given Britain's pivotal role, will the Foreign Secretary urgently review everything we are doing, in order to prevent El Fasher from becoming another Srebrenica?
Context
News reports indicate summary executions and ethnic cleansing taking place in El Fasher. The UK plays a pivotal role due to its previous position as the Minister for Development.
The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Yvette Cooper)
The right hon. Gentleman is right to raise the grave nature of this crisis and violence taking place in El Fasher. I agree that we need to put on every possible pressure through both the United Nations and directly through the Quad. We need urgent action to get a ceasefire, humanitarian aid through and protection for civilians.
Session: Sudan

The NHS 10-year plan identifies antimicrobial resistance as
“a critical threat requiring urgent action.”
AMR kills 35,000 people in the UK every year and 5 million globally and rising. Why on earth are the Government covertly axing the Fleming Fund without telling Parliament? Will the Secretary of State publish an impact assessment of the effect of the Fleming Fund’s closure on our domestic health security?
“a critical threat requiring urgent action.”
AMR kills 35,000 people in the UK every year and 5 million globally and rising. Why on earth are the Government covertly axing the Fleming Fund without telling Parliament? Will the Secretary of State publish an impact assessment of the effect of the Fleming Fund’s closure on our domestic health security?
Context
The question highlights the axing of the Fleming Fund and its potential impact on tackling antimicrobial resistance, which causes significant health threats.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Ashley Dalton)
There is nothing covert about the decisions on the Fleming Fund. It has been perfectly open and clear that the existing funding has been cut. Having said that, the work and partnerships that have been developed on AMR continue. The UK continues to be a global leader on this issue, and our ambassador, Dame Sally, continues to do sterling work on it.

Will the Minister ensure that Britain properly replenishes Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and will he remember that polling shows 83% of our constituents think this is a brilliant use of taxpayers’ money?
Context
The Minister has engaged on Gavi's work for a long time.
Stephen Doughty (The Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
Britain has supported Gavi to vaccinate over 1 billion children, saving 18 million lives and generating $250 billion in economic benefits. We are considering our next investments as part of the spending review process.

Mr Andrew Mitchell asked if the Minister for Intergovernmental Relations will review the decision to cut the integrated security fund by £120 million, given that it is an example of how development complements defence. He expressed great concerns at this terrible decision to axe crucial development spending.
Context
The right hon. Member highlighted his extensive experience in the matter and noted concerns about recent funding decisions.
The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Pat McFadden)
The right hon. Gentleman has great experience in this area, and I respect his judgment very much. He will also have seen the world rapidly change before our eyes in recent weeks. The leadership task when the world is changing so fast is to understand the change, respond to it and explain it. I believe that in the decisions the Prime Minister has taken in this area in recent weeks he has fulfilled those obligations in full and in a way that this House is proud of.

The Foreign Secretary will be aware that under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, the British Virgin Islands is obliged to introduce open registers of beneficial ownership by the end of 2020, or face an Order in Council. It has not done so, it is in contempt of Parliament, so when will the Foreign Secretary issue the Order in Council?
Context
Under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, the British Virgin Islands is obliged to introduce open registers of beneficial ownership by the end of 2020 or face an Order in Council. The BVI has not done so, leading to it being in contempt of Parliament.
The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Mr David Lammy)
I say to the right hon. Gentleman that if the agreed requirements are not met we will carefully consider what further steps to take. Our expectation remains clear: those registers will ultimately be public, and my hon. Friend the Minister of State will meet the BVI to make clear our expectations.
Session: British Virgin Islands Illicit Finance

The Government are right to continue the all-party approach to the next International Development Association replenishment of the World Bank, which is extremely good value for taxpayer money. Will the Foreign Secretary press the Treasury to match what the former Chancellor, my right hon. Friend the Member for Godalming and Ash (Jeremy Hunt), did in adding £2.5 billion to the 0.5% official development assistance budget, to help defray some of the costs of first-year asylum seekers, which that budget bears? Otherwise, we will be spending more development money in UK postal districts than in Africa.
Context
The International Development Association is undergoing a replenishment process. The previous Chancellor added £2.5 billion to the official development assistance budget.
Anneliese Dodds
I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for raising this issue. He understands deeply that under Conservative Governments, we saw those so-called in-donor refugee costs spiralling out of control. The system was not being brought under any kind of coherent plan by previous Governments. Now there is a plan, which is being delivered by the Home Secretary. We are determined to ensure that those costs are brought down.

The Ramada hotel on Penns Lane has always been the wrong place because it is too far away from inner-city Birmingham-based services. Under the last Government, the facility was slated for closure. Will the Minister look urgently at winding it down and closing it as soon as possible?
Context
MP inquired about the Ramada hotel on Penns Lane, which was previously slated for closure.
The Minister for Border Security and Asylum (Dame Angela Eagle)
It is our intention to close all asylum hotels as soon as possible, once we deal with the backlog that we inherited from the Conservative party.
Session: Asylum Hotels

When it comes to soft power and development, I remind them of the words best articulated by former US Defence Secretary Mattis: 'If you cut development spend, you have to order more ammunition'. How will the Minister ensure that our aid budget does the job it needs to do?
Context
The question acknowledges the importance of the aid budget and refers to former US Defence Secretary Mattis's statement on development spend.
Hamish Falconer
The aid budget is crucial for national security and we work hard to ensure it is fit for purpose, contributing significantly across the world.
Session: UK Soft Power

Co-existence is inevitable, with a two-state solution necessary. Given Britain's regional connections and UN responsibilities, what discussions are the Government having on this issue to build on significant past efforts?
Context
The question is about the two-state solution and the role Britain can play in peace negotiations. It references previous efforts under the last government.
Anneliese Dodds
A commitment to a two-state solution for peace and security in Israel and Palestine is long-term. Ongoing work includes reconstruction efforts, discussed with organisations like the World Bank.
Session: Gaza Humanitarian Situation
View All Questions -->
Following the removal of international terrorist Yahya Sinwar, and with an amnesty possibility for those who release hostages, what pressure are the Government bringing to bear on Hamas to urge them to lay down their arms and release the 97 remaining hostages? This is necessary for full humanitarian relief access in Gaza.
Context
The question follows the removal of international terrorist Yahya Sinwar and a potential amnesty for hostage releasers. It addresses the need for Hamas to lay down arms.
Anneliese Dodds
The Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister have met with family members of hostages, particularly those with UK links. They have repeatedly emphasised that hostage release must be prioritised.
Session: Gaza Humanitarian Situation

Further to the comment from the hon. Member for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket (Peter Prinsley), does the Minister share my dismay that, although the director general of the BBC professes that it represents a key source of democratic soft power in the face of the spread of state and non-state disinformation, it now intends to cancel its internationally admired interview programme “HARDtalk”, which has a global reputation for holding those in power to account?
Context
The MP is concerned about the potential cancellation of a BBC World Service programme that holds those in power accountable.
Anneliese Dodds
Any editorial decisions on BBC content will be made by the BBC alone—that is right and proper. All I can say is that wherever I am in the world, it is clear quite how powerful the BBC is—a soft power perhaps, but a very important reflection of our values as a country and of deep connections between the people of Britain and other nations. We are determined to ensure that that remains the case.

Recent events in Moldova are yet another example of the importance of combating the modern scourge of weaponising disinformation. What new measures are the Government planning to implement to counter disinformation spread by our adversaries?
Context
The MP is concerned about the spread of disinformation and its impact on national security.
Anneliese Dodds
I am grateful to the shadow Foreign Secretary for raising such an important issue. We are launching a new global programme to support resilient, free, open and trustworthy independent media as a bulwark against disinformation. That builds on the success of previous media development programmes. We are also determined to work with international partners, including UNESCO, to make sure that we play a role in combating disinformation.

May I welcome the Foreign Secretary to his new position? I urge him to avoid suggesting moral equivalence between a terrorist murderer and an elected head of state. In any question of an arms embargo, British arms defended Israel from missiles launched by Iran recently.
Context

David Lammy
Let me welcome the right hon. Gentleman to his position. The test under criterion 2c is whether there is a clear risk based on careful assessments of the law.

Both main parties committed in their manifestos to restoring the 0.7% international development target. As the Foreign Secretary will have seen, last year we reached nearly 0.6%. Will he discuss with the Treasury returning to 0.7%, not in one bite, but over the next two years? That would secure the best value for money for British taxpayers and also help those most in need.
Context
Both main parties committed to restoring the 0.7% international development target in their manifestos.
David Lammy
I paid tribute to the right hon. Gentleman earlier, but this is one area that was left in a mess. Frankly, £3.4 billion being spent on refugees in hotels is the lion's share of that amount. That is a lot for me and my hon. Friend the Minister with responsibility for development to deal with, but we will do all we can to get back to that 0.7% as soon as possible.
Session: Topical Questions

The Foreign Secretary will get full support from the Opposition in imposing open registers of beneficial ownership on the overseas territories. Can I ask the Foreign Secretary to pay special attention to Sudan, which is suffering the largest displacement crisis in the world? There is clear evidence of ethnic cleansing once again in Darfur, and the human misery that I saw on the border with Chad earlier this year was among the most harrowing that I have ever seen.
Context
Humanitarian situation in Sudan, especially the displacement crisis and ethnic cleansing in Darfur.
David Lammy
I am very grateful to the right hon. Gentleman. I was able to raise the issue of Sudan with G7 Foreign Ministers in my first days in office, and I continue to hold discussions with the United States, which, as he will know, has summoned a gathering in Switzerland to try to achieve peace.
Session: Topical Questions
View All Questions -->
Are there concerns about the UK's commitment to official development assistance when other countries are increasing theirs? The MP highlights Germany's adherence to 0.7%, France's embrace of it, and America's $15 billion increase in spending while Britain cuts aid leading to hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths among women and children.
Context
The MP questioned the UK government's adherence to its promise of spending 0.7% of GNI on ODA, noting that despite being chair of the G7 during a global pandemic, other nations have increased their ODA while Britain has cut humanitarian aid.
Wendy Morton
I do not accept what my right hon. Friend is saying. The UK remains a development superpower, spending more percentage of GNI on ODA than US, Japan, Canada or Italy in 2021 and allocating £10 billion to ODA this year. We will return to 0.7% when fiscal situation allows.
Session: Official Development Assistance
View All Questions -->
What recent discussions have there been with G7 counterparts on global flows of official development assistance? The focus is on supporting responses and recoveries from covid-19. In particular, are there concerns that despite chairing the G7 in a pandemic, when international aid has never been more crucial, other countries like Germany, France, and the US have increased their ODA spending while Britain cuts humanitarian aid leading to hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths?
Context
The MP inquired about discussions regarding international development aid during the G7 presidency, highlighting concerns over Britain's commitment to ODA.
Wendy Morton
Foreign Secretary and junior Ministers, including myself, speak regularly with G7 counterparts about official development assistance. The most recent bilateral conversations on international development were held with French Foreign Minister Le Drian and Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi. As G7 president this year, we support work towards a sustainable, inclusive recovery, and the agenda for May's meeting includes sustainable recovery discussions. We remain a superpower in development based on OECD data for 2021; UK will spend more percentage of GNI on ODA than US, Japan, Canada or Italy in 2021 and will still allocate £10 billion to ODA this year.

May I also express my gratitude to the NHS in all its many forms for their hard work over Christmas and new year, including giving me a new knee? To add to knowledge, information and understanding, will the Secretary of State and his Department make a point of working with coroners and the Office for National Statistics from across the country so that we can understand the true extent of these tragedies?
Context
The question stems from a concern about the high percentage of suicides by people who are terminally ill and seeks to understand the extent of these tragedies through better data collection and analysis.
Matthew Hancock
I am very happy to look at the suggestion that my right hon. Friend makes on this very sensitive subject. We want to see the highest possible standards of patient safety and, of course, to reduce the number of suicides, and it is important in pursuing that to have as much information and evidence as possible.
Session: Terminally Ill People End of Life Options

What plans does he have to improve the evidence base for future debates on the options available for terminally ill people at the end of their life?
Context
The question arises from a need to gather more data on experiences of terminally ill individuals to better inform future debates and policies regarding their options at the end of life.
Matthew Hancock
Care at the end of life is a crucial part of our health and care system, and we are committed to improving the quality of care for those at the end of life. Current practice is informed by a range of evidence, including guidelines issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The Government are open to gathering data on the experiences of terminally ill people in order to inform the debate.

National Accident Prevention Strategy
28 April 2026
Responding: Lilian Greenwood
Main Concerns
['Andrew Mitchell highlighted the growing crisis of preventable accidents in the UK, citing a significant rise in accidental death rates and hospital admissions. He noted that Birmingham experiences one of the highest numbers of accidental deaths annually, with over 550 families losing loved ones each year due to preventable accidents. Nationally, accidental death rates have increased by more than 40% over the past decade. Mitchell emphasized the human cost of these tragedies and the strain they place on healthcare services and the economy.']
Specific Asks
['Mitchell called for a national accident prevention strategy led by the Cabinet Office to co-ordinate efforts across various departments. He requested that Becky Hickman and RoSPA produce a report outlining what such a strategy might look like, based on clear principles including ministerial leadership, focus on prevention, better data use, prioritizing those at risk, and sustained public education.']

- - Ministers answer questions rather than asking them, so have different activity patterns
- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
