Mrs Kemi Badenoch
Sir Mel Stride
Sir James Cleverly
Rebecca Harris
Mr Gagan Mohindra
Mike Wood
Jerome MayhewRebecca SmithSir Iain Duncan Smith
That this House calls on the Government to reduce public expenditure to fund the abolition of Stamp Duty Land Tax on primary residences purchased by UK residents, in order to get Britain working, to grow the economy and to give people a stronger stake in their communities through the security of home ownership.
Amendment (a)
Daisy Cooper
Ed Davey
Wendy Chamberlain
Leave out from “House” to end and insert “notes with concern that the current system of property taxation, including through Council Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax, which was maintained by the previous Government, is unfair on people and bad for economic growth; and calls on the Government to bring forward fair reforms to the system of property taxation that work for people across the UK and support economic growth.”
Alex Burghart
Chris Philp
Rebecca Harris
Mr Gagan Mohindra
Mike Wood
Jerome Mayhew
That this House calls on the Government to release the minutes of the meeting chaired by the National Security Adviser on 1 September 2025, at which the prosecution of the two alleged Chinese spies, since dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service, was discussed, including all actions arising from that meeting; and further calls on the Government to publish the minutes of all other meetings where the case was discussed, whether by officials or with Ministers, all relevant correspondence between the Crown Prosecution Service and the Government and between Departments, including correspondence between the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Cabinet Office, Attorney General’s Office, and the Treasury, and advice provided to the Prime Minister relating to the China spy case.
Amendment (a)
Max Wilkinson
Ed Davey
Wendy Chamberlain
Mr Will Forster
Luke Taylor
Jess Brown-Fuller
Marie Goldman Dr Danny Chambers Lisa Smart Bobby Dean Caroline Voaden Alex Brewer
Leave out from “House” to end and insert “notes with alarm the collapse of the recent espionage case and the lack of clarity over who in Government is responsible for the failure to bring it to trial; expresses concern that intelligence allies may now question whether the UK can be relied upon to counter China’s growing threat, and that Members of this House may have been put at risk; further notes that both the current Government and previous Governments have questions to answer about how this issue was handled; highlights that the three witness statements published by the Government raise further questions, including whether prioritising a positive relationship with China contributed to the trial’s collapse, what evidence the Crown Prosecution Service requested but was not provided, and who among Ministers and officials was aware of these matters; believes a statutory public inquiry is needed to get to the bottom of this fiasco; further expresses concern that the original draft witness statement under the Conservatives included the word “enemy”, which was later removed during their time in office, raising serious questions about political interference; calls on the Government and former Conservative Ministers to provide clear answers, including whether the Deputy National Security Adviser met with Ministers between the draft and final versions, and who the “backchannels” mentioned in his statements were and what role they played in discouraging scrutiny; recognises that suppressing or manipulating backbench oversight undermines democratic accountability; and further believes that transparency and independence in national security decisions are essential to maintain public trust.”
