I beg to move, That the Committee has considered the draft Provision of Information (Contractual Control) (Registered Land) Regulations 2026. It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Ms Vaz. The draft regulations were laid before the House on 9 March. Before I proceed further, I draw the Committee’s attention to a minor correction that has been made to the regulations. At regulation 4(3)(c)(i), the words “the right” were printed without a space between them. This was noticed after the st

I applaud the Government’s move to use the £400 billion of public procurement—almost one eighth of British GDP—in the interests of the British people and the British economy. The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee has often heard that a Government contract is worth more than a Government grant to the start-ups and spin-outs that are so important to our economy. Will the Minister confirm that this approach will be joined up with our strategy for sovereign capability, so that we do not f

That’s a cop out!

I am grateful to the Committee. I have made my points, so I commend the regulations to the Committee. Question put.

People enter and exit the system at various points for various reasons. Our number one principle is that we want to reduce demand. In the last two years, there have been more than 80,000 applications. Between 2011 and 2020, there were a third of that number. The No. 1 way to close hotels is to reduce demand. Dispersal accommodation is a factor in all our communities. We operate the policy of full dispersal, which we inherited from the previous Government, to make sure that that is done in an equ

We are delivering the biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the cold war, investing £270 billion over this Parliament. Our £50 million defence growth deal in Wales puts us front and centre to lead the way in 21st century autonomous defence technology. Alongside supporting our thriving defence sector, that will deliver thousands of skilled, well-paid jobs and help keep our country safe.

To be quite frank, the hypocrisy is astounding. It is—
