That this House welcomes the first report of the Ethics and Integrity Commission entitled Lobbying, Business Appointment Rules and Disclosure, published in July 2026, following the previous Prime Minister’s request for an urgent review of lobbying transparency, financial interest declarations and post-employment rules; notes the Commission's finding that the current lobbying regime is wholly inadequate, including a narrow definition of who counts as a lobbyist, exemptions for smaller organisations and for lobbying deemed incidental to other business, the exclusion of lobbying of special advisers and other senior officials from registration requirements, and weak enforcement; further welcomes the Commission's recommendations, including a comprehensive Lobbying Register covering all lobbying activity, closing the loophole that allows non-VAT-registered organisations not to register as lobbyists, extended registration covering the lobbying of special advisers and senior officials, an integrated digital transparency platform bringing together details of ministerial meetings and the lobbying register, mandatory monthly reporting with more information on the purpose of meetings, a graduated fee structure for lobbying registration to protect smaller businesses and charities, and higher civil penalties for non-compliance; also welcomes support for recommendations from within the professional lobbying industry itself, including the Chartered Institute of Public Relations; welcomes the new Prime Minister’s pledge to fix a broken Westminster system; and calls on the Government to implement the Commission's recommendations in full and without delay, including through the necessary primary and secondary legislation, in order to restore public confidence in the integrity and transparency of lobbying and decision-making in government.

That this House notes the continued observance on 26 October of Jammu and Kashmir Accession Day by residents of the UK of Jammu and Kashmiri heritage; records that on 26 October 1947 the Instrument of Accession was executed by Maharaja Hari Singh; reaffirms the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of India over the State of Jammu and Kashmir; notes the importance of strong and constructive bilateral relations between the UK and the Republic of India; expresses sympathy for all civilians killed and injured in acts of terror in Jammu and Kashmir, including those in Pakistan occupied regions; notes with concern the continued impact of terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir, which have resulted in civilian and security personnel casualties; notes with sadness the continued targeted killings of Kashmiri Pandits, who remain vulnerable to acts of terror and intimidation in parts of Jammu and Kashmir; recognises the significance of this date for communities who mark it as the constitutional accession of Jammu and Kashmir into the Indian Union; acknowledges the contribution of British Jammu and Kashmiri communities to the cultural, social, and civic life of the UK; welcomes peaceful commemorations in the UK that promote historical literacy, cultural exchange, and civic participation; and encourages constructive dialogue, community cohesion, and respect for international norms and sovereign boundaries in discussions about Jammu and Kashmir.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 14 August 2026
We want the Government to make it a criminal offence if a person or persons in public office has/have knowingly lied and/or spread disinformation and/or suppressed factual information. We believe this new criminal offence is required in order to restore ethical standards and integrity given the widespread lying we feel is especially evident in politics, and other public office sectors. Without accountability for such damaging behaviours, prospects seem bleak for democracy, effective government and public trust in national and local government and other public sector actions. We fear that without robust legal accountability, damaging non-adherence to ethical standards will continue to be normalized behaviour in this country.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 August 2026
Launch a review into all laws, rules and conventions that grant judges and magistrates judicial immunity and legislate to remove judicial immunity for judges and magistrates. We feel current judicial immunity rules mean there is no proper way to challenge wrongdoing, corruption or gross failures by those in public office. We believe that those working for the public must be answerable to the law in the exact same as any other citizen.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 August 2026
Formally recognise cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) as non-human persons under UK law. Modernise our legal framework to protect their rights to life, bodily integrity, and natural liberty, establish criminal offences for harm, and oppose international wild hunts and exploitation. Science confirms cetaceans are highly intelligent, self-aware, and conscious. While no sovereign state has passed national laws declaring cetaceans as non-human persons, momentum is growing. Indigenous Pacific leaders recently signed the He Whakaputanga Moana treaty, and Tonga is drafting formal personhood acts. Current UK laws treat these sentient beings as mere property. By modernising our legal framework, we protect vital apex predators and ensure justice follows modern scientific reality.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 6 July 2026
Legislate to require every allegation of a sexual offence against a serving or former police officer, and every allegation of abusing a policing role for a sexual or intimate relationship, to be investigated by an independent body established by law. This could be called Harriet’s Law. Police officers hold unique powers and positions of public trust. Allegations of sexual offences or abuse of a policing role for a sexual or intimate relationship should always be investigated by a statutory independent investigative body. Harriet's Law would safeguard victims, strengthen public confidence in policing, ensure accountability, improve transparency, reinforce the integrity of the criminal justice system, and encourage victims to come forward without fear of institutional bias.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 May 2026
Political parties must be prohibited from accepting financial contributions beyond a standard, capped membership fee, eliminating the influence of wealthy elites. The government should match these fees by a fixed multiple, forcing politicians to build a broad public base of support. We believe the UK's political party funding model is broken, causing widespread cynicism as citizens suspect wealthy donors are purchasing policy influence over a fair democratic process. This crisis is backed by data: a recent study suggests 87% of the public are concerned about potential corruption. Another study found that Electoral Commission investigations have declined by 89% since 2019. Some parties receive up to two-thirds of their total funding from a small number of donors. No individual has ever been imprisoned for breaching UK electoral finance laws.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 April 2026
We ask the Government to strengthen action against immigration fraud, including sham marriages and false claims. Review the reporting system, introduce stronger financial verification, and stricter penalties where fraud is proven, while ensuring fair investigation and legal process We propose identity verification for complainants with optional anonymous reporting. All reports must be evidence-based and investigated fairly. Strengthen financial/relationship checks via tax and employment records and post-arrival checks for high-risk cases. Where fraud is proven, ensure visa cancellation, removal and re-entry bans. Introduce a regulated compensation scheme for verified reports leading to proven fraud, with safeguards against misuse, improving integrity and reducing public cost
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 2 April 2026
We call on the UK Government to introduce legislation—similar to the Senedd Cymru Wales (Member Accountability and Elections) Bill—to create a criminal offence for all election candidates who knowingly make false or misleading statements during campaigns, and for MPs while in office. Electoral campaigns should be fought on the basis of truth and accuracy. For MPs in office, the current standards regime relies on conventions and self-regulation, which have proven insufficient in maintaining trust. While the Ministerial Code and the MP Code of Conduct exist, they lack the legal power to hold individuals accountable for deliberate deception of the electorate. The Senedd has already taken steps to introduce accountability measures for misleading statements during elections. We believe Parliament should follow this precedent and ensure political integrity is protected by law.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 27 March 2026
Review laws on electoral bribery and treating and consider whether these should extend to political parties running voter competitions and prize draws which might encourage voters to vote for them. We do not think political parties should be able to pay for potential voters’ expenses such as energy bills, or to give them money due to a lottery/prize draw. Although a lottery may not require the winner, or others who take part, to vote for the party, we do not think that this should be allowed. If we continue to allow this it would be shameful.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 March 2026
Create an immediate exemption to the current suspension of study visas for Afghan nationals, so Afghan women and girls can obtain UK education visas (including university, foundation and English pathways) with appropriate safeguards, and publish clear guidance for applicants and institutions. The UK has paused study visas for Afghan citizens. We believe that this decision effectively shuts one of the last education routes for Afghan women and girls at a time when education inside Afghanistan is severely restricted. In our view, penalising genuine students because others may claim asylum for illegitimate reasons is disproportionate. We believe that the UK can protect border integrity without blocking women’s education, and that taking this action aligns with UK values on girls’ education and human rights.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 13 February 2026
Current and former MPs & other elected politicians to be banned from applying for injunctions preventing media reporting on stories where information could be regarded as in the public interest, like links to criminal activity, foreign governments, influential billionaires or businesses. I would like current and former MPs and other elected politicians who could influence voters, to be banned from applying for an injunction that could inhibit media stories regarding subjects for which the public should be made aware. This could be in relation to donations, bribery, any criminal activity, relationships with foreign governments or individuals related to foreign governments, billionaires, banks, global companies and media outlets.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 1 January 2026
Legislate to make ‘Counsellor’ and ‘Psychotherapist’ protected titles regulated by the HCPC. The Government should also review how this could include influencers and life coaches offering mental health services, ensuring all are subject to mandatory fitness-to-practise oversight. We believe that current voluntary regulation fails to protect the public. Anyone can legally use these titles without training. Unregulated 'influencers', 'life coaches' and in some cases negligent practitioners can cause iatrogenic harm and family breakdown without, in our view, proper accountability. We believe some struck-off practitioners can rebrand without oversight. Statutory regulation could end the 'Wild West,' restore public confidence, and protect the integrity of the profession by ensuring all practitioners meet national safety and ethical standards.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 28 November 2025
Publish a list of countries blocking citizen returns, suspend UK aid until compliance is met, make aid legally conditional on cooperation with UK immigration, report annually to Parliament, and detain illegal migrants until asylum or deportation for public safety. We want this to protect UK taxpayers and public services, uphold border integrity, and ensure accountability. Some countries refuse to repatriate their nationals. We believe this increases pressure on services and contributes to rising crime and violence. We believe Foreign Aid must be conditional on cooperation to stop subsidising obstruction, safeguard communities, and reinforce the UK’s immigration system, ensuring national security and fairness in the use of public funds.
