To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to improve the resilience of mobile networks during power outages in rural communities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to improve the resilience of mobile networks during power outages in rural communities.
The Government recognises the importance of networks being as reliable as possible so that people can access the modern digital economy, communications providers have statutory responsibilities to take appropriate and proportionate measures to maintain the resilience of their networks. Power cuts can disrupt mobile services, but if the current mobile network is unavailable all emergency 999 calls automatically switch to other available networks.
Following a detailed review, Ofcom updated their regulatory guidance to operators in June 2026, confirming that mobile operators are expected to take robust measures to manage and mitigate against the risks of power outage. Government is also working closely with all of UK’s mobile operators and electricity network operators, so that industry implements measures to reduce the impact of power cuts on mobile services wherever possible.
The Government also welcomes new direct to device low earth orbit satellite services which are now available in the UK market, which can provide another means of connectivity when there is disruption to terrestrial networks.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of (a) access to cash and (b) the level of cash acceptance in towns and rural communities in Scotland.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of (a) access to cash and (b) the level of cash acceptance in towns and rural communities in Scotland.
The Government recognises the importance of cash, understanding that it continues to be used by millions of people across the UK, including those in rural and costal areas. The most recent data from the Financial Conduct Authority shows 98.1 per cent of people in rural areas live within 3 miles of a free-to-use cash access point offering withdrawals
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) assumed regulatory responsibility for access to cash in September 2024. Its rules require the UK’s largest banks and building societies to assess the impact of a closure or material alteration of a relevant cash withdrawal or deposit facility and put in place a new service if necessary. As part of this responsibility, the FCA must also seek to ensure that there is reasonable provision of free withdrawal and deposit facilities in relation to personal current accounts. This supports businesses to ensure they can continue to accept cash by ensuring that they have reasonable access to cash deposit facilities.
The Government continues to work closely with industry to support the roll-out of 350 banking hubs by the end of this Parliament. Over 280 hubs have been announced so far, and more than 240 are already open across the UK, including 31 in Scotland.
The Government is committed to continuing to monitor levels of cash acceptance and to evaluating all relevant payments data, including data on consumer preferences and trends, to inform future policy and help ensure that consumers and businesses have a choice of payment methods to meet their needs.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to tackle the dangerous driving of illegally modified e-bikes on public roads.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to tackle the dangerous driving of illegally modified e-bikes on public roads.
E-bikes that do not comply with the requirements of the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle Regulations 1983 are motor vehicles and must therefore be registered, taxed and insured to be used on public roads. The rider must also wear a safety helmet and hold a driving licence.
The police can seize e-bikes not properly registered as motor vehicles under Section 165A of the Road Traffic Act 1988. In addition, in the Crime and Policing Act 2026 the Government has strengthened the powers for the police to seize vehicles used anti-socially by removing the need to provide a warning. These powers apply to e-bikes that have been registered as motor vehicles.
