When will the Government announce capital funding for the new hospital in Lancaster: before or after 2030?
Context
The MP is seeking a commitment on the timing of capital funding announcement for the new hospital in Lancaster.
Steve Barclay
Chorley is extremely important, Mr Speaker—I am very sighted on that. Our commitment is that it is part of the rolling programme and we are keen to get work started on it.

Given that the UK is one of the most regionally imbalanced of all of the major economies, and given the massive potential that is waiting to be unleashed, is it not time to accelerate the now stalled Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill and push forward urgently with Northern Powerhouse Rail, planning reform, devolution, secure affordable energy supply, gigabit broadband and all the other levelling-up measures that will make this the strongest and most prosperous economy in Europe?
Context
The MP stresses the urgency of accelerating levelling-up and regeneration measures, highlighting regional imbalance.
Michael Gove
I take this opportunity to thank my right hon. Friend for his leadership on this issue. The levelling up White Paper would not have been published without his determination to ensure that there are 12 clear missions at the heart of Government to ensure that this country achieves its full potential.

What steps he is taking to level up all parts of the UK?
Context
The question addresses the government's efforts to level up all parts of the United Kingdom.
Michael Gove
Levelling up is a central mission for this Government. We want to ensure that the full potential of our economy, businesses, people and places is reached. The Government have allocated £9.9 billion to my own Department alone since 2019 to support levelling up, in addition to the £7.5 billion committed to the nine mayoral combined authorities in England.

This summer's Vilnius summit will be an important test of NATO's willingness to fulfil its long-standing promises to Ukraine. Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is now ludicrous to say that Ukraine's NATO membership might be in some way provocative to Russia, since Putin has shown what he is willing to do when Ukraine is not a member of NATO and because Ukraine is not a member of NATO? Does he agree that it should therefore be the policy of the Government that Ukraine should be invited to make the necessary preparations to join as soon as possible under the rules, for the sake of clarity, stability and peace in Europe?
Context
The upcoming Vilnius summit is a crucial test of NATO's support for Ukraine.
James Cleverly
Before I answer fully, I place on record the gratitude that I and others have for the leadership that my right hon. Friend showed at a vital point in time, ahead of the explicit, most recent escalation of aggression from Russia towards Ukraine. I know that Ukrainians hold him, as I do, in very high regard because of the decisions that were made.

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on his continuing commitment to Great British Nuclear, but is it not vital that we reaffirm the target of 24 gigawatts by 2050 and that we accelerate the tech selection process, so that small modular reactors, whether made by Rolls-Royce or anybody else—it would be wonderful if they came from this country—are on contract with Great British Nuclear by the end of the year, so we can get back to the nuclear tradition that this country once had and undo the baleful, luddite, “Atomkraft? Nein, danke” legacy of the Labour party?
Context
The MP acknowledges the government's commitment to Great British Nuclear and seeks acceleration of tech selection process for small modular reactors.
Grant Shapps
My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. He will know, as will the whole House, that every single nuclear reactor currently operational in the UK was given permission under the Conservative party. He is right to champion Great British Nuclear and we will get the nuclear industry going again. Indeed, I was the first Energy Secretary to put money—£700 million—into nuclear power since 1986. I have appointed our first ever nuclear Minister, who some are calling “Atomic Bowie”.

I congratulate my right hon. Friend— Oh sorry, question 1. If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.
Context
The government has been paying half of British households' energy bills this winter. The MP seeks to understand the lessons learned from this intervention.
Grant Shapps
I know my right hon. Friend is new to this House. This winter, as I mentioned, the Government have been paying half the energy bills of most British households. In these difficult times, that has been an extraordinary intervention that we are all very proud of. But it has taught us a valuable lesson—we can never again be held to ransom by energy tyranny. That is why we want to have the cheapest wholesale electricity in Europe, to be on a path to net zero, and to put Putin and his ilk in a position where they can no longer have any sway over our energy security.

Is it obvious from today's exchanges that many who oppose the UK-Rwanda partnership have no idea about Rwanda? The Opposition lacks a plan to solve cross-channel gang issues.
Context
The question critiques opponents of the UK-Rwanda migration and economic development partnership, suggesting they do not understand Rwanda and cannot solve channel crossings.
Suella Braverman
My right hon. Friend makes his point well; the Labour party opposes measures to control our borders and fix cross-channel issues.

Happy new year. In York, developers build luxury apartments when we need social and affordable homes. This leads to the highest price rises in housing across the country. How will the Minister ensure local authorities just build according to need?
Context
Developers are building luxury student accommodation and apartments instead of the needed social and affordable housing, leading to high price rises.
Lucy Frazer
We are committed to ensuring that we have in our new infrastructure the same amount of affordable housing as currently exists. We have a fund of £11.5 billion going into affordable housing.
Session: Potentially Unsuitable Development Proposals

The House will know that supplies of British, American and other western equipment have been vital in helping our Ukrainian friends to protect themselves against the continuing and merciless Russian attacks, and I thank my right hon. Friend and the Government for all that they have done and continue to do. Does he agree that we and our allies must help our Ukrainian friends not just to take out the drones and missiles, which means supplying them with anti-aircraft systems and fixed-wing aircraft to help shoot them down, but to take out the launch sites of those missiles and drones by supplying the Ukrainians with the use of longer-range missile systems, such as army tactical missile systems? That is the way, truly, to protect our Ukrainian friends and to bring the war to an end as soon as possible.
Context
The MP thanked the government for its support to Ukraine and asked if they will supply longer-range missile systems such as ATACMS to counter Russian drone and missile attacks.
Ben Wallace
Without my right hon. Friend's support of me and Ukraine, none of this would have been possible. I place on record my great appreciation of his support through that process. He is right that the Russians are taking advantage of the short-range capability of the Ukrainian armed forces by using Iranian kamikaze drones and, against all the rules of law, including the Geneva conventions, by the mass targeting of critical civilian infrastructure.

Does my hon. Friend agree that it is high time the outstanding care and skill of Hillingdon Hospital staff was matched by commensurate outstanding facilities, and that it is therefore great news that Hillingdon is one of the 40 new hospitals that the Government are building by 2030? Can he confirm that the full funding package will be announced soon, so the whole project can proceed as soon as possible?
Context
The outstanding care and skill of Hillingdon Hospital staff should be matched by commensurate facilities. The Government are building 40 new hospitals by 2030, including Hillingdon.
Will Quince
I thank my right hon. Friend for his question. The Secretary of State visited Hillingdon Hospital—a hospital I am also aware of—over the summer. There has been no greater champion of Hillingdon Hospital, or of the new hospitals programme more broadly, than my right hon. Friend.

Given that on the streets of London alone, entry pay rates have already attracted 4,734 more police officers to join the Metropolitan police, and given how vital it is to continue to provide the right place for those new recruits to be properly trained, does the Home Secretary agree that Uxbridge remains the most sensible place in Hillingdon to have a place station? Will she join me in passing that view to the present Mayor of London?
Context
The MP references the positive impact of entry pay rates on attracting new recruits and asks about a specific location for a police station.
Suella Braverman
My right hon. Friend speaks a lot of sense, as usual. He is absolutely right and he has a huge amount of which to be proud when it comes to increasing the numbers of police officers on the frontline fighting crime and standing up for victims, which Labour has opposed at every opportunity. If I may make a humble request of him, will he give up some of his precious time to advise the current Mayor of London who is wholly failing on fighting crime, having seen a 9% increase in crime in London? The Mayor really could take some advice from his predecessor.
