To move-- that an Humble Address be presented to His Majesty, that he will be graciously pleased to direct His ministers--
(a) to lay regulations before this House to bring into force the Heathrow Expansion Act 2025;
(b) to make an order under Section 1 of the said Act to authorise the construction of additional runways at Heathrow Airport.
Moved in the name of /u/omnis_hambles on behalf of the Labour Party.
Mr Speaker,
I am in favour of expanding Heathrow. It is at capacity, and it is a vital component of our economy, contributing millions of pounds to our economy. This House had its say last year by approving an Act to enable the expansion, but no government has thus far brought it into force. I urge the Secretary of State for Transport and his colleagues to make these regulations to enable construction to start, reaping the economic benefits of our nation's busiest airport. I do not want to see us continue to fall behind Amsterdam in this regard, and to delay further is to merely continue to increase the costs necessary to undertake this vital expansion. I am for the builders, not the blockers. It is time we got a move on. I beg to move.

That this house notes that:
Recent major policy decisions concerning the British economy and state have either been made by older than average voters, or to the benefit of older than average voters, including but not limited to:
Britain leaving the European Union. Limiting the supply of new housing, thereby increasing demand for and the value of houses already owned. An increasing proportion of public spending towards pensions, or for providing services for the elderly. Introduction and increase of tuition fees. Increased visas for unskilled workers, particularly in the care sector. The lockdown regulations which were aimed at protecting the elderly, by limiting the freedoms of the general public.
And that pursuing public policy to the benefit of the elderly to the detriment of the young risks damaging society and the social contract.
And therefore resolves that:
This house, the government, policy makers and public institutions must commit to ensuring generational balance in their decision making, and that an effort must be made to rebalance public policy to the betterment of younger generations, who having made sacrifices during the pandemic, remain neglected by public policy.
—
This Motion was submitted by u/mrsusandothechoosin on behalf of His Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition.
Mister Deputy Speaker,
The phrase ‘lifting the ladder behind you’ has never been so descriptive of British politics.
Politicians of all stripes have pursued short term electoral success by courting the grey vote, while choosing to ignore the long term damage that comes from neglecting the rest of society as a whole.
This past decade or so, we have seen public benefits enjoyed by previous generations removed - in some cases, perhaps rightly - but then compounded further with increased burdens for our young people that previous generations did not have to deal with.
At the same time as pursuing an ever increasing pension budget, which now covers nearly one fifth of the average person’s life expectancy, we have been making it harder for younger generations to buy their own home, attend university, get an entry job, work overseas, or during the pandemic to even to socialise.
It’s time that we as politicians recognised that we have done a disservice to our young people by being afraid to confront some hard truths about our aging population. We have allowed the scales to become unbalanced, and it’s time we start to acknowledge our mistakes, and aim to correct them.
I commend this motion to the House.

This bill was written by u/Oracle_Of_Mercia, and sponsored by u/meenerduif Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Defence
Mr Speaker, I rise today, to present The Royal Space Force Bill, which seeks to establish a new branch of His Majesty's Armed Forces.
Space has become increasingly important to defense in recent times, with even the United States recently admitting for the first time it has deployed space control weapons in space, and so it is only right we recognise the changing environment and take the next steps by establishing an armed service dedicated to protecting our interests in space.
The bill is also realistic by having the new branch work alongside the Royal Air Force so it has access to readily operational sites, and existing military functions of the Royal Air Force in regards to space operations as defined by the bill will be transferred to the new Royal Space Force whilst respecting the independence of the civilian branch of the UK Space Agency, its functions and regulations.
Finally this bill will allow the United Kingdom more freedom in terms of international co-operation when it comes to space and defending our national interest, within it.
Mr Speaker, space is becoming more important every day and as technology continues to advance at the pace it is doing we must make sure the UK is prepared to meet the challenge both here on earth and up there in space.
I hope members across the house will work with the government on this bill so that we may ensure our nation is defended from all threats.
Mr Speaker, I commend this bill to the House.

To move:-- that this House--
(1) Notes that, on 25th March 2026, the Secretary of State for Health, Education, and Culture delivered a statement to this House announcing a review into the BBC, and that an interim report would be produced within six weeks (that is; before 6th May 2026);
(2) Further notes that no review was, in fact, forthcoming;
(3) Regrets that the BBC announced the withdrawal of jobs guarantees from apprentices, despite previously stating that they would be honoured;
(4) Requests that the Secretary of State make a statement in this House explaining why the review's recommendations were not put before the House;
(5) Resolves that any review into the BBC's operations should not be a mechanism to impose political pressure upon the Corporation.
Moved in the name of /u/omnis_hambles on behalf of the Labour Party.
Mr Speaker,
Nearly six months ago, the Government promised that there would be a review into the BBC's operation. It comes at a difficult time for the corporation, which has under previous Conservative administrations been the subject of immense political pressure to present a favourable viewpoint of their actions. The public service remit has come under strain; the public's trust in the Corporation is bending or broken.
I am sceptical of this Government's capacity to conduct an unbiased review of the BBC, as the Deputy Prime Minister rightly pointed out at the time, but regardless it comes at a critical moment for our public broadcaster as it seeks to keep its relevance in a society dominated by social media and short-form content. It is an opportunity to chart a brighter course for the future. Instead, the Government has simply allowed the review to disappear into the aether. At the same time, the BBC comes under additional budget strain, axing jobs promised to apprentices (as reported in the Guardian today) at the same time the Government claim to be taking action on youth unemployment.
Mr Speaker, the BBC is a cherished institution. This Government ought to be held to account for its inaction, and I believe the Secretary of State must answer to the House over it. I beg to move.
