Synthetic Cathinones: Smuggling
Asked by: Allison Gardner (Labour - Stoke-on-Trent South) Monday 16th February 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential implications for her policies of trends in the level of importation of synthetic cathinones through mail; and what progress her Department has made in tackling the importation of illicit substances through mail. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) The Forensic Science Regulator has established a working group to develop regulatory requirements around the use of drug testing kits and devices. The working group involves police, forensic providers, academia and government organisations, including the Home Office. No assessment has been made of the merits of updating Home Office guidance with specific regard to synthetic cathinones. The Home Office and operational partners have processes and capabilities in place at the UK Border to detect illicit substances, including synthetic cathinones trafficked through mail. The Home Office engages with postal and parcel operators both in the UK and internationally to tackle this threat. Most synthetic cathinones are controlled as Class B drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Drug Testing on Arrest gives police the power to identify offenders under the influence of Class A drugs and get them the help they need. Through the Crime and Policing Bill, we are expanding tests to cover specified Class A, B and C drugs. These drugs will be specified through secondary legislation. The Crime and Policing Bill is progressing through Parliament and the Government will look to bring forward the necessary secondary legislation following Royal Assent. I am grateful to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs for their comprehensive report on synthetic cathinones. The Government is considering the ACMD’s recommendations carefully and we will respond as soon as possible. |

Menopause: Screening
Asked by: Allison Gardner (Labour - Stoke-on-Trent South) Tuesday 3rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress has been made on incorporating menopause screening into NHS Health Checks. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We are currently working with experts, including general practitioners, to co-design the menopause content for the NHS Health Check. The inclusion of menopause in the NHS Health Check will support eligible women across England to access high quality information on the menopause, including advice on managing symptoms and where to seek support. We will ask local authorities to implement this addition in the NHS Health Checks later this year and will urge them to implement it as quickly as possible. |
