I could read out a very long answer I have here, but I will not. The heart of the matter in relation to ethical banking goes back to this question of risk-based assessment. I know that a number of the banks that regard themselves as operating ethically w

I am not familiar with that case, but if it is as the noble Lord suggests—and I have no reason to doubt that—that is a serious concern, and I am sure the FCA would want to know more about it.

That does not sound right to me. I do not know the answer to that question, but I will make sure my noble friend Lord Pitt-Watson writes to the noble Viscount.

Charities: Banking Services
No, I do not think that is what we are suggesting. We are suggesting that the banks must act proportionately and in a risk-based way. I think the noble Baroness knows that there are issues, not just in the Muslim community, of which charities must be vig

Charities: Banking Services
The question of regulation is really important here, so I should set out the position clearly. Charities are protected by the FCA’s consumer duty up to £1 million turnover, and if they want to seek redress from the Financial Ombudsman Service, they can d

Charities: Banking Services
As the noble Baroness knows, debanking and access to banking services is an issue way beyond charities and it is really important. The Government recognise the importance of that, and that is why they have introduced new rules to require banks to give cu

Charities: Banking Services
My Treasury officials will kill me for this answer, but I must say that I recognise the picture the noble and gallant Lord has painted. When I came to read the pack for this Question, I had a decided sense of déjà vu. I will pass that question on to my n

Charities: Banking Services
I understand the point the noble Baroness is making; I live in south Devon, so I recognise the picture. We understand the importance to communities and high streets of access to banking services. The industry has committed to a rollout of 350 banking hub

I thank my noble friend for that easy, holiday-focused question on the last day of term. I also thank my noble friend Lord Pitt-Watson, who got to the Treasury job too late to take this Question. Mine’s a gin and tonic, David.
We recognise the concern

Charities make vital contributions across the country. While the provision of banking services is ultimately a commercial decision for banks, the Government believe that it is essential that charities and voluntary organisations can access suitable banki

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
I absolutely agree with that, and I should declare my interest as a former chair of English Heritage, so I have first-hand experience of these matters. The costs of visitor attractions are what economists call externalities, and this visitor levy will he

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
I thank the noble Baroness for setting out the Government’s plan so clearly, and in doing so enjoying so much support from behind me. This visitor levy is really important; it exists in every G7 country. I am sorry—I do not want to be completely flippant
2026-07-21
Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
Yes, I do share my noble friend’s concern about misinformation and disinformation, not just in this regard but in many other regards. As noble Lords with whom I have discussed the elections Bill will know, I am particularly concerned about foreign interf

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
I thank the noble Lord for his kind remarks. I do not normally apply for jobs, but there we are. On the central point about mayors, it is our intention to announce the results of the consultation, and as he knows, there are a lot of details to be worked

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
I am sorry—I am on spirited form today. [Interruption.] This is a very serious matter.
One of those decisions was to make changes to employer national insurance contributions, and the Government have protected, as the noble Baroness knows, the smalles

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
The Government have taken a number of fair and necessary decisions on tax, welfare and spending to fix the public the finances. In honour of my noble friend Lord Livermore, I should of course mention the £22 billion black hole.
2026-07-21
Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
That is precisely why we are leaving it to local mayors to decide. Of course we will not impose a levy from the centre. I have already said that the consultation has been completed, and we will announce the response in due course. Of course we are not go

I am doing my job—
“supporting over 100,000 jobs. The levy will allow us to invest in the infrastructure these visitors need”.
I agree with this comment by my right honourable friend. If mayors choose to introduce this levy, it will help investment

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
As I have said, the discretion will be with local mayors, and I pay tribute to the campaign of my noble friend and others. Perhaps I can quote one regional mayor:

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
The visitor levy was announced on 25 November 2025 and a consultation on the design of the levy powers was launched in the Budget. The consultation has now closed, and the response will be published—perhaps the noble Lord will not be surprised to hear me
2026-07-21
Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
This Government believe in empowering mayors. Mayors will decide whether introducing a levy is the right choice, as is common for local leaders in countries all around the world. Mayors will need to consider the appropriate balance between supporting loc

Foreign Interference in UK Politics
I already have a date to meet the noble Lord, Lord Shamash, so we can certainly pick this up then. These potential breaches and allegations are matters for the Electoral Commission. It is our job to empower it to deal with them. I am sure that we will de

Foreign Interference in UK Politics
I never say “watch this space”—it is not my style—but the serious point that the noble Lord makes is absolutely right. Of course we should not allow individual cases of that sort. This is a properly regulated space. We are strengthening that regulation.

I thank the noble Baroness for that question and I pay tribute to her long-standing work in this area. It is important that I set this out carefully, so I hope she will forgive me if I read out the precise answer. The Online Safety Act framework requires
