Lord Blencathra

The contents and publication of executive orders is a domestic matter for the United States.

The House of Lords Administration understands and accepts its responsibilities to make reasonable adjustments to facilitate occupation of the Parliamentary Estate by disabled Members.

The Strategic Estates team work to fulfil the obligations contained within the Equality Act 2010 and have issued guidance to help in ensuring designs comply with those requirements. This guidance embraces the principles of the Equality Act 2010 by ensuring that the physical environment of the Parliamentary Estate does not discriminate against people with respect to the nine protected characteristics plus other characteristics that are identified to ensure inclusion for all.

In respect of raising a complaint if there are concerns about the approach to reasonable adjustments, these should be addressed to the Director of Estates and Facilities.

The Charity Commission for England and Wales ('the Commission') has a statutory function to identify and investigate misconduct and mismanagement in charities, and we are confident that it has the expertise to do so effectively. The Commission assesses concerns in accordance with its published regulatory and risk framework, and has a wide range of powers to investigate and remedy the abuse of charities. Any evidence that a registered charity is engaged in misconduct or mismanagement should be referred to the Commission.

The Commission has open regulatory compliance cases into both the Abrar Islamic Foundation and the Dar Alhekma Trust, and will determine if there is a need to take action.

Network Rail manages Euston Station and work to improve the passenger experience at Euston is continuing.

As part of this, a range of ideas has been proposed, including potential enhancements to the route between the station and the taxi rank. Network Rail, under a ‘single guiding mind’ approach, is working with industry partners to assess the feasibility of these proposals and the overall benefits to passengers.

The current agreement with Avanti West Coast does not contain obligations regarding the maintenance and repair of potholes.

Avanti West Coast is responsible for the day-to-day management of Penrith North Lakes Station, including the car park. Responsibility for any repairs, including repairs to potholes, lies with the station’s landlord, Network Rail. Avanti West Coast works with Network Rail to seek improvements on behalf of passengers where this is required.

The Department will ask AWC to pass on to NR the concerns about potholes in the car park.

The current taxi rank location is temporary to enable the construction of the HS2 station. Work is in progress to determine the new permanent location of the taxi rank.

In the interim, Transport for London are investigating potential improvements, such as changing turning priorities, having close regard to applicable road safety and highway management issues requirements.

The designated Mobility Assistance Taxi Bays remain on the western Euston Gardens site to help reduce the distance to the Mobility Assistance Reception in the station. This is approximately 120m from the Assisted Travel Lounge, similar to the previous facility, which was located underground (and which required use of a lift).

The distance to/from the Assisted Travel Lounge from the new eastern rank pick-up/drop-off points is approximately 275m and 252m respectively (via Doric passageway), though this is not the designated Mobility Assistance Taxi Bay.

A full Road Safety Audit, as required by Transport for London, has been carried out on both crossing points (adjacent to Eversholt Street and adjacent to Euston Road). Both crossings were enhanced as part of the taxi rank design to improve safety for pedestrians, including widening the islands and changing the signal timings.

Immigration is a matter for the St Helena Government. The St Helena Government will be responsible for processing any asylum claims and for the timescale by which any claims are resolved. The UK Government will provide technical support to help develop capacity and capability in St Helena's immigration department.

The UK Government is working to support the Saint Helena Government to ensure appropriate arrangements are in place for any migrants who may arrive. If the St Helena Government considers that a migrant presents a danger to the security of St Helena, they may refuse entry to that individual. A copy of the recent MoU between the UK and St Helena has been placed in the libraries of both houses.

The rapid review of extremism, which is looking across the ideological spectrum, will kickstart a strategic reset on how government tackles extremism and address gaps in the current system which leaves the country exposed to hateful or harmful activity that promotes violence or undermines democracy.

Ships names are proposed by the Royal Navy's Ships Names and Badges Committee, for selection by Royal Navy seniors, Ministers and His Majesty The King.

Names are proposed based on many factors, including the history of the Fleet and suitability to the role of the ship being named.

No ship currently in build will bear the name HMS Blencathra, however this does not preclude the name being chosen in future should it be suitable.

The UK respects its obligations to international partners to seek their agreement prior to the re-export of sensitive technologies, including those controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The US and UK have worked closely to ensure that Storm Shadow can be provided to Ukraine.

His Majesty’s Government is following established procedure for hybrid bills. The Commons select committee on the Holocaust Memorial Bill strongly recommended (in their report of 26 April 2024) that the Promoter should engage the process of challenging petitioners. Petitioners will have the opportunity to persuade the Lords select committee that they should be heard.
