Can the Minister update the House on progress made in establishing the Elizabeth Emblem?

The families of DS Ross Hunt and PC George Taylor have been awarded the Elizabeth Emblem after a campaign by myself and others. However, these brave police officers did not receive the George Cross due to administrative oversight. Can a Cabinet Minister meet with me to discuss this issue so that their bravery is recognised properly?

Due to the economic challenges we inherited, every penny of public money must be spent wisely.

What measures will the Government take to ensure wise spending, avoid unnecessary consultancy costs, and deliver value for constituents?

Last week, the Government released their latest departmental lobbying transparency data which was two months overdue and relates to a past period.

I am delighted to give Christmas greetings to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and I am sure that most of us in the House feel a great deal of respect for him. As the Prime Minister knew he was appointing a convicted fraudster to the Cabinet, was it not incumbent on him to tell the propriety and ethics team? If I can slip a second question in, Mr Speaker, will the right hon. Gentleman, who is committed to and leads in the Government on transparency and openness, all of which have been promised, undertake—notwithstanding the fact that he has not looked at these declarations—to find out and let the House know whether she declared it to the House?

I welcome the Government's commitment to a duty of candour for public bodies. In the light of the appalling crimes of John Smyth, who left over 100 children assaulted and traumatised while senior members of the Church of England looked the other way, what steps is the Minister considering in conjunction with the Church so that bishops, dioceses, cathedrals and national church institutions are designated as public authorities for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 2000?

I would be pleased to get those figures for the United Kingdom, but in particular for Northern Ireland.
