Parliament and Government Summary — 11 June 2026
Published 12 June 2026
MPs used Westminster Hall to hold three focus debates—on secondary breast cancer, freedom of religion or belief in Sudan, and the UK’s clean power ambition by 2030. In the Lords, peers also turned to a mix of national security and specific legal proposals, including the proscription of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and an Infant (Born Alive) Protection Bill. Late in the day, the Department for Education published further official school statistics on attendance, exclusions and professional development routes.
