Written Answers
Countryside: Access
Asked by: Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Tuesday 8th July 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much DEFRA spent in total in the past financial year to create new opportunities for the public to access nature, or to improve existing public access, excluding engagement programmes.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

We are committed both to creating new opportunities for the public to access nature, and to improving existing public access. For instance, in FY24/25 we spent £5.5 million on progressing delivery of the King Charles III England Coast Path and £5.6 million on progressing delivery of the Coast to Coast National Trail. We also spent £5.8 million on our Access for All programme to increase accessibility of the countryside. This excludes funding for engagement programmes such as Generation Green and Green Social Prescribing, and funding for access casework, maintenance, monitoring, and staff costs.

Agriculture: Finance
Asked by: Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Tuesday 8th July 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much financial assistance DEFRA will provide in total to support the agriculture sector in the new Spending Review period.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

We are investing more than £2.7 billion a year in farming and nature recovery.

Funding for the Environmental Land Management Schemes paid to farmers will increase by 150% from £800 million in 2023/24 to £2 billion by 2028/29.

Overall farmers and land managers will benefit from an average of £2.3 billion a year through the Farming and Countryside Programme. And up to £400 million from additional nature schemes, including those for tree planting and peatland restoration.

Agriculture: Expenditure
Asked by: Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Tuesday 8th July 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much financial assistance DEFRA provided in total to support the agriculture sector in the past financial year.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

In line with its obligations under the Agriculture Act 2020, Defra regularly publishes an annual report setting out commitments in the previous financial year. Defra intends to publish the annual report for the financial year 2024/25 later this year, which will set out how money was spent in that financial year.

Countryside: Access
Asked by: Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Tuesday 8th July 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much DEFRA plan to spend in the new Spending Review period to create new opportunities for the public to access nature, or to improve existing public access, excluding engagement programmes.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government has already set out several ambitious manifesto commitments to expand opportunities for the public to enjoy the outdoors, including the creation of nine new national river walks and three new national forests in England. Our spending plans are dependent on business planning outcomes.

Universal Credit: Disability
Asked by: Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Wednesday 30th July 2025

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government, in regard to the Pathways to Work Green Paper published on 23 July, what steps they have taken to engage with the families of young disabled people who may be affected by the proposal to removal eligibility of those under 22 years of age for the limited capability for work and work-related activity element of Universal Credit.

Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

The Pathways to Work Green Paper was published on 18 March 2025 and closed on 30 June 2025, setting out plans and proposals to reform health and disability benefits and employment support.

We ran a programme of consultation events to hear from disabled people and people with health conditions directly, including 7 virtual events and 11 in-person events across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

As part of the consultation, we welcomed views on raising the age someone can access the Universal Credit Health Element to 22. This consultation received over 45,000 responses and we are considering responses; we will set out our plans in due course.

If we proceed with this change, we will consider what special provisions need to be put in place for those young people where engagement with the Youth Guarantee is not a realistic prospect.

Universal Credit: Disability
Asked by: Baroness Scott of Needham Market (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Monday 4th August 2025

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential impact on young disabled people and their families of the removal of eligibility of those under 22 years of age for the limited capability for work and work-related activity element of Universal Credit.

Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

As part of the Pathways to Work Green Paper consultation, the Government invited views on the proposal to raise the minimum age for accessing the Universal Credit (UC) health element to 22. The consultation closed on 30 June, and we are now considering responses. The Government’s conclusion will be announced in due course.
