As the hon. Gentleman may know, there is a long-standing convention that Ministers of either party—this applies to Ministers of both political parties who have been in government—are entitled to legal support in respect of decisions that they made in government. That is an important constitutional safeguard to ensure that Ministers can act freely in government.

There is no Ministry of Truth; there is the Cabinet Office. The rapid response unit was disbanded in August last year, and I am happy to meet my hon. Friend to talk about any of his concerns, particularly any parliamentary questions that he feels have not been answered properly.

The right hon. Lady will know that we have been through this process many times before. I thought the Labour party believed in due process. The due process is that Adam Tolley, a very senior KC, is investigating all aspects of that, and I am not going to pre-empt his report in any way.

As the right hon. Lady will know, the Prime Minister's ethics adviser is independent. It will be a matter for him to decide whether he wishes to take further action, in consultation with the Prime Minister. We see this time and again from the Labour party. They call on us to have an independent inquiry. As soon as we announce an independent inquiry, they ask us to pre-empt it.

My hon. Friend raises an important point. We have a number of structures in Government to ensure that Departments work effectively together. In relation to parliamentary legislation, there is the Parliamentary Business and Legislation Cabinet Committee, which is led by the Leader of the House. There is also the Economic and Domestic Affairs Secretariat, which ensures co-ordination between different Departments, and those are long-established practices.

First, I should say that I oversaw that appointment process. I have every confidence in its propriety, and I am sure the inquiry will find that that was the case. In order to ensure that it is an independent inquiry, it is independent from the Cabinet Office, so I cannot give commentary on its timings; that is for the person conducting it.

It may not surprise the House to hear that I totally agree with my hon. Friend. When this Government brought forward legislation to protect hard-working people from disruptive strikes, the Opposition failed to support minimum service levels.

Civil service pay is determined at delegated levels between Departments concerned. I have met the leadership of the PCS in January. There are ongoing discussions between officials in the Cabinet Office and unions, but matters are not helped by strikes impacting people they serve.

We have already relocated half of our target 22,000 jobs out of London to around the UK. My hon. Friend can make his case effectively.

There is a major communications programme addressing voter awareness. The Government wants to resolve the issue of people not knowing what they need to bring to vote.

I pay tribute to the Veterans Charity and my hon. Friend's advocacy of it over many years, providing great services down in the south-west.

The Crown Commercial Service always looks at ways to save taxpayers' money but is mindful of protecting SMEs, which remain a priority.

The landscape is getting riskier with geopolitical elements. I spend more time ensuring appropriate levels of cyber-security, working closely with the National Cyber Security Centre and other agencies.

The hon. Lady has campaigned vigorously on this matter of concern. Work is ongoing, and we will be helped greatly by Brian Langstaff's second interim report to address compensation.

The precision on project costs would better come from my colleagues in relevant departments, but I say that the Infrastructure and Projects Authority learns from every project. We are applying this learning to ensure future projects like Sizewell C will be more cost-effective.

The next point will be the second interim report, which I will meet with Diana Johnson and her colleagues from the all-party parliamentary group when it is released in two weeks during the Easter recess.

Given the volume of European legislation accumulated during membership, we need rapid establishment of sovereign control. The Bill has provisions approved by this House and is under consideration in the other place.

Yesterday, we reinstated the veterans mobility fund. I pay tribute to Ben Parkinson and his family for their campaigning on this issue.

This is a question for the Minister for Support Personnel, my right hon Friend Dr Murrison. Groups such as Recruit for Spouses have been working in this space and the Ministry of Defence is actively engaged with these efforts.
