In little more than 100 days, the Department and its Secretary of State have delivered on promises made in the manifesto. This includes publishing a Green Paper on modern industrial strategy, securing £63 billion of investment at an international investment summit, boosting sectors like aerospace and automotive, publishing the Employment Rights Bill, which represents the biggest upgrade in workers' rights in a generation.

The Government have no plans to undertake any trials on a four-day week for five days of pay. It is for employers and employees to reach agreements that fit their specific circumstances, but we want to get the balance right and make sure that we work with employers and employees.

The hon. Gentleman oversaw the worst Parliament for living standards in modern history. We did not choose that inheritance, and we have made choices such as compensating for the infected blood scandal, Horizon victims, investing in the NHS, increasing minimum wage, supporting carers.

I will not take lectures from the Opposition who said 'eff business'. Conservative Members have some cheek to come at us when we inherited a £22 billion black hole and set stability in train. I spent yesterday talking to businesses about Budget implications, growth, long-term stability.

We are looking to increase the scope of sick pay to include people below the lower earnings limit, and to introduce payments from day one. We have no plans to increase the rate of statutory sick pay but will look at how we can reform it for the better.

No. I gently point out the difficult economic inheritance left by the previous government. We are determined to face tough decisions such as increasing employers' national insurance contributions to fund investment in sectors like aerospace and automotive, and in public services like the NHS.

Given that almost 9,500 bank branches closed over the past 14 years, on the Conservative party's watch, it has increasingly been left to the Post Office to provide vital banking services on the high street. The banking industry recognises its responsibility to work with us to ensure that sub-postmasters and the Post Office have what they need to meet critical cash and banking needs of constituents.

I sit across the Department for Business and Trade and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The entire point of my role is to join up the two Departments to tackle issues such as the grid, which is No. 1 on our list.

I agree with my hon. Friend. It is essential that local communities see the benefits of landmark investments such as £110 million investment in a fund to support local skills training and transport infrastructure by Blackstone.

Farmers need stability that will be delivered as a consequence of our fixing the foundations, including awareness of concerns raised about inheritance tax, but difficult choices had to be made yesterday because of previous Government's inaction.

Yes, I will work with my hon. Friend. We secured £1 billion investment for the Shotton mill site transformation, and we can deliver great things together as a Labour Government in Westminster and Wales.

I would be very happy to meet the hon. Gentleman and Eastbourne Hospitality Association to discuss the concerns articulated, while noting that we faced tough economic challenges requiring difficult decisions in the Budget.

We set out a five-point plan when we were in opposition to help with the revival of high streets and will work on bringing forward that plan, though more detail will be seen in the small business strategy Command Paper next year.

I admire the hon. Gentleman's ability to shoehorn in a question about something not in our remit, but we are happy to help him talk to Ministers in the Department for Transport.

I would be delighted to meet my hon. Friend. Under the “Get Britain Working” plan, more disabled people and people with health conditions will be supported to enter and stay in work, and I am happy to discuss how we can achieve that aim.

I gently point out that a 0.4% increase on businesses' total costs represents a small price to pay for stronger working conditions and equality in Britain's labour market, with significant positive impacts on workers trapped in insecure work or facing discrimination.

I welcome the decision by my right hon. Friend's Select Committee to take a further look at the issue. It is a priority for the Department to speed up the compensation process, and victims are still coming forward. We are actively looking at whether all those who come forward are covered by the compensation schemes.

We will keep the House updated on the results of the investment summit, but the £63 billion represents a massive show of confidence in this new Government.

We are working extensively with all parties to find an outcome for Harland & Wolff that delivers shipbuilding and manufacturing in Belfast, Scotland and Appledore in Devon. I cannot comment further due to commercial sensitivities.

We work closely with our colleagues in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office who are responsible for international humanitarian law assessment. The Foreign Secretary has updated the House on changed advice received by the Government.

I would be delighted to meet my hon. Friend often and regularly, as we do, to talk about these matters. Of course, the offshore wind supply chain is incredibly important. We have two big announcements, Orsted and Greenvolt, in relation to it.

We have held discussions with a range of organisations on exactly that issue. I promised the hon. Gentleman earlier that I would meet him, and we can talk about this subject if he wishes.

As others across Whitehall have already set out, we have established Skills England and begun the process of reforming the apprenticeship levy to help businesses get better access to the skills they need.

Yes, indeed. I can reassure my hon. Friend that, on this Front Bench, there are Members, including me, who do have private sector experience, and who have run businesses. Of course we have had very strong relationships with businesses, both in the run-up to the election and now, and we will continue to build on those strong relationships for the benefit of all the people across our country.
