Military Aid
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Wednesday 25th June 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which countries armed forces have been trained by British armed forces in each of the last five years. Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) The UK has a long history of providing assistance to other nations in the security and justice fields and continues to do so around the world. In 2024-25 alone, that spanned 140 different partner nations, with similar levels of engagement across each of the past five years. In the interests of national security and upholding trust and confidentiality in our international partnerships, it is not appropriate for the Government to provide a full breakdown of countries that received military training from the UK over this period. All training is carried out in adherence to International Humanitarian Law. |

Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) The provision of training to a foreign military is assessed on a case-by-case basis and kept under review. This is underpinned by a robust process that considers strategic alignment, risks, opportunities, and compliance with International Humanitarian Law. |

Buildings: Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Wednesday 18th June 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent estimate he has made of the occupancy levels of premises (a) owned and (b) leased by (i) the Government and (ii) its agencies in (A) Cornwall and (B) the Isles of Scilly. Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) Central data on Civil Service Headquarters (HQ) occupancy is collected and published quarterly on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-hq-occupancy-data) for all HQ buildings of Whitehall Departments, Office for Scotland, Office for Wales and Northern Ireland Office. As was the case under the previous administration, no other information on workforce attendance is gathered centrally. Heads of departments have agreed that 60% minimum office attendance for most staff continues to be the best balance of working for the Civil Service.

Dentistry: Migrant Workers
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 19th June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the (a) annual capacity of the Overseas Registration Examination system and (b) number of fully trained overseas dentists already in the UK who are on the waiting list for this examination. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Overseas Registration exam (ORE) is operated by the General Dental Council (GDC), which is independent of the Government. The Department does not hold data on exactly how many candidates are waiting to sit the GDC’s ORE, or their residency status. We understand from the GDC that, in April 2025, there were approximately 5,000 candidates on the combined waiting lists for both Part 1 and Part 2 of the ORE exam. In April 2025, there was one sitting of the ORE Part 1, with 600 places available, and three sittings of the ORE Part 2 between January and April 2025, with 144 places on each. Between August 2025 and April 2026, there will be three sittings of ORE Part 1, with 600 places available on each sitting, and four sittings of ORE Part 2, with 144 places available on each sitting. In total, this provides 2,400 places for ORE Part 1, and 1,008 places for ORE Part 2 between April 2025 and April 2026. The GDC’s procurement of new ORE provider contracts is ongoing, and the GDC expects to be able to announce the new providers this autumn. Officials will continue to discuss the new arrangements with the GDC, with a focus on understanding how they will further increase the availability of the ORE exam. Whilst the GDC holds contact details for candidates on the waiting list for the ORE, they do not hold data on residency. It is the role of the GDC to approve eligibility criteria for the ORE. There are no restrictions on accessing the exam based on the residency status of the candidate. |

Universities: Standards
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 26th June 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she plans to take with the Office for Students to ensure that universities provide prospective students with transparent data (a) in general and (b) on what proportion of courses are delivered online. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Higher education providers must be transparent in how they advertise and deliver their courses. The Competition and Market Authority has published advice for providers on complying with consumer law, including informing students about the quantity and type of contact hours. All registered providers must pay due regard to this guidance as part of their registration conditions with the Office for Students (OfS). Online learning offers significant benefits to students, but it must support the quality of a student's learning experience. The OfS’s Blended Learning Review urges providers to clearly communicate course expectations and assess students’ blended learning experiences. Students dissatisfied with their university’s service should use their provider’s complaints process. If a provider is not meeting the OfS’s registration requirements, this can be raised to the OfS by submitting a notification. |

26 Jun 2025
Healthy Ageing: physical activity in an ageing society Health and Social Care Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 7 Aug 2025) The Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the role of physical activity in improving the health and wellbeing of our older population. Progress on improving healthy life expectancy in England has stalled and people are spending longer living with ill health in their older years. Physical activity can help prevent ill health, but activity levels in England are decreasing and are lowest among older people. A small increase in activity by an older person can be substantially beneficial in improving health and reducing or delaying the development of multiple long-term health conditions. This inquiry will focus on the ways that physical activity can prevent and reduce ill health, pushing it further into older age. The Committee will also explore how increasing physical activity levels could have an impact on reducing the gap in healthy life expectancy between older people in the most and least deprived regions. Call for evidence closed at 23:59pm on Thursday 7 August 2025. |
