The UK is waiting for the report of the Office of Internal Oversight Services, which we expect soon. Once received, conclusions will be drawn on how best to get aid into Gaza. The Government are doing everything possible to ensure that aid gets in.

The UK played a leading role in securing the passage of Security Council resolutions 2728 and 2720, which set out the urgent demand for expanded humanitarian access.

Of course, there are multiple layers to mental health support. The mental health support teams programme, which we are rolling out gradually across the country, continues to expand. At the end of March 2023, 35% of pupils in school or further education were covered by that, including 47% at secondary. When the figures for this year come out, I expect them to be higher. Unlike the Opposition, we are putting mental health support not only into secondary schools but into primary schools, where it can make a big difference.

The Crown Prosecution Service can take over any criminal prosecution. It may then carry out the prosecution or it may end or discontinue the prosecution if it does not believe it should have been brought in the first place.

The hon. Gentleman's comments are noted, and while I am watching how the seven recovery wings operate with an open mind, no specific commitment or timeline is provided for wider expansion.

My hon. Friend makes an interesting suggestion and I am happy to meet him to discuss further his ideas.

We have invested in bus services, protecting routes, implementing £2 fare cap, delivering zero-emission buses as promised. Significant investment has been made.

As I set out, the £36 billion transport spending reinvested means benefits for more people in more places. We are investing £6.5 billion of savings from HS2 outside the north and midlands, including additional funding for London.

I thank my hon. Friend for his supplementary question. While I cannot pre-empt the outcome of the consultation, which closes on 18 December, I can assure him that there will be no sudden changes in the way patients receive their care. Any move will of course be carefully planned with the full involvement of current teams, and clear information will be provided for parents and families. NHS England will help as many experienced staff as possible to move to the future centre.

Following Professor Sir Mike Richards's review, it is now a national requirement for all paediatric cancer services to be co-located with a children's intensive care unit. The current principal treatment centre for south London and the south-east does not meet those requirements. NHS England has launched a reconfiguration process to identify a new location, which includes a public consultation.

The zero-emission vehicles mandate supports our commitment to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans. By setting it many years in advance and giving clear notice to the market, it provides appropriate stimulus to industry in a way that the ultra low emission zone singularly fails to do, as my hon. Friend will have noted.

I am proud of landmark legislation passed, allowing detention and removal to safe countries. Labour opposes this and does not have a plan for stopping boats.

National security is our overriding priority. As Home Secretary, it is my job to oversee protection from all threats. The Intelligence and Security Committee has said Chinese intelligence services target UK interests prolifically and aggressively. We are reviewing countries for the enhanced tier of FIRS; there is a strong case for China, but I do not want to prejudice the process.

Yes.

My hon. Friend is right to point out that we currently view costs as sitting with the DFT and revenue as sitting with the Treasury. This can make it harder to increase services, even when extra revenue can be assured, because costs at the DFT cannot increase. He can be assured that the Chief Secretary to the Treasury and I spoke yesterday about how we can grow services and revenues with one profit and loss statement. I am also working with the train operators to amend their contracts, so they can be the parties that take the risk and get a greater share of the reward.

I am grateful for the issue raised. I expect teams to be responsive to needs for reasonable adjustments. Perhaps she could share details of specific experiences so that I can look into them.

I can reassure my hon. Friend that we are most certainly looking carefully at that particular cohort of people who have prematurely retired—if I may use that term—and are over the age of 50. It is one of the biggest cohorts that we are trying to encourage back into the workforce, and I will have more to say on that matter in due course.

The Prime Minister has asked me to review the matter of economic inactivity, and the results of that review will be shared with the House shortly.

My hon. Friend promotes a fantastic business in his constituency. The UK tech sector retains the No. 1 spot in Europe, with a total valuation of over £1 trillion in 2022 and is one of the top countries for collaboration and investment in life sciences.

The Cabinet Office is producing comprehensive guidance and training for contracting authorities. This includes sharing best practices, supporting commercial best practice through various programmes like contract management capability and playbooks on sourcing and contracting.

First, it is predominantly a matter for private companies or indeed non-Government departments to choose how and why to buy those vessels. But of course, to encourage more UK shipbuilding, we announced in the shipbuilding strategy last year the home shipbuilding credit guarantee scheme, which is there to help counter what seems to be a perverse incentive whereby other countries' export credits encourage British companies to build abroad. We have been working closely on this with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and I hope that we will be able to announce more details soon.

My hon. Friend makes an incredibly important point. We have summoned senior Iranian diplomats to make clear the UK's position on the brutality they are meting out on their own people, we have sanctioned judges involved in the secret courts that have imposed the death sentence on Iranian protesters, and we will continue to push the Iranian regime to do better.

My hon. Friend is right to say that we are supporting the NHS to deliver up to 160 community diagnostic centres by March 2025, 89 of which are already operational, as part of £2.3 billion of capital funding, delivering around 2 million additional scans so far.

My right hon. Friend would be delighted to meet the Member to discuss.

I certainly am. We are looking at all ways to reduce congestion and enable people to be fitter and to get from A to B in the most cost-effective way. I would be delighted to meet the hon. Member to talk in more detail about all the roles of active travel, lift sharing and park and ride, and the different ways people can now get around with the modern transport revolution.

Discussions have occurred at donor conferences regarding provision of air support, focusing on potential from countries holding Soviet stock, such as MiG-29s and helicopters. Training requirements are also a significant consideration due to differences in aircraft types.

Absolutely I can. I note the observations of some economists yesterday; we will have an obligation on regulators to take account of competitiveness and of where we are in the global context.

Our missions around the world are home to some of our best salespeople who promote UK businesses. We have programmes under way to ensure that they continue doing their job effectively.

The GREAT campaign showcases British industries internationally and partners with the private sector to promote trade and investment. Since its launch in 2011, it has had an average return-on-investment ratio of more than 15:1 to the UK economy.

I had a useful and informative meeting with my hon. Friend and his constituent. As he knows, we have in place an action plan for IPP sentences that we are prosecuting with, I hope, some verve and energy to drive down the numbers. My hon. Friend will know that the Justice Committee held an inquiry into IPP sentences; we await its conclusions before we look at the next steps.

The bill has completed Committee stage in November, with new additions like a pet abduction offence and extended primates measures to Wales.

The new procurement rules will make it easier for buyers to exclude suppliers that have underperformed on other public contracts. We will establish a new, centrally managed debarment register, which will identify any companies that should be banned from any new public contract.

We are investing £183 million in the expansion of electronic monitoring, which includes £90 million to fund and promote innovation, including in respect of drugs and tags. We are also working carefully on prisoner passports, which are all about resettlement, to make sure that we reduce prisoner and offender homelessness, and there is a big push to encourage them to work with local businesses to get them into work.

£2.5 billion has been allocated into the process not just for grants but for infrastructure itself, including a new design charger that will be unveiled at COP26 next week.

Yes, of course, I would be delighted to meet my hon. Friend. Summer-born children who defer entry to school by a year continue of course to be entitled to a childcare place before they start school, so the costs will depend on the number of parents who choose to delay entry and the need for childcare. However, I should say to my hon. Friend that, in the surveys we have been carrying out with local authorities, the vast majority of requests to delay entry and to return to school in reception rather than year 1 are granted by local authorities.

We published guidance in 2020 on the delayed admission of summer-born children to a reception class where that is what parents want. In May, the Secretary of State issued a statement to ensure admissions authorities take these decisions in the best interests of the child, and we will legislate when parliamentary time permits.

Alongside the trade and co-operation agreement, we had a joint declaration to establish a structured regulatory co-operation for financial services and to discuss a whole range of matters around equivalence determinations going forward. The memorandum of understanding will be agreed in discussions between the EU and UK by March 2021.

Equivalence is an autonomous technical process that each side is undertaking separately. Officials have had a number of meetings with their counterparts in the Commission over the past 12 months to discuss each other's processes, and we remain open and committed to continuing dialogue with the EU about its intentions for equivalence.

We will make an announcement about the response to the Amyas Morse review shortly.

Revenue and Customs has been clear on its commitment to support all taxpayers who might need help paying their loan charge liabilities. Where someone cannot afford to pay in full on time, it will seek to agree payment by instalments. Revenue and Customs has a dedicated helpline for those seeking to leave avoidance schemes, and the disguised remuneration and debt management teams are trained to identify taxpayers who may need extra help and support, and to refer them, if necessary, to outside organisations for support. As my hon. Friend will be aware, a long and detailed review process has been conducted by Sir Amyas Morse. It is, of course, the individual's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of their tax returns and to understand the consequences of their decisions, although of course the Government very much sympathise with people who have been caught in that position. My hon. Friend may have noticed that we have been taking very vigorous action against promoters of tax avoidance schemes—most recently, in an announcement we made last week, HMRC and the Advertising Standards Authority are getting together to crack down on misleading promoting of tax avoidance schemes.
