Housing: Domestic Abuse
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Tuesday 21st April 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to ensure local authorities are applying statutory guidance on housing support for survivors of domestic abuse. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Under Part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, Tier 1 local authorities in England are required to assess local need for, and commission, support for victims of domestic abuse and their children within safe accommodation. To support delivery of the duty, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has provided £499m to local authorities over the next three years.
Statutory guidance sets out how local authorities should carry out their functions and which they are expected to consider when making commissioning decisions: Delivery of support to victims of domestic abuse in domestic abuse safe accommodation services - GOV.UK
MHCLG monitors delivery through mandatory annual data returns and publishes this data. The most recent data is available here: Support in domestic abuse safe accommodation: 2024 to 2025 - GOV.UK.
The Department continues to work closely with local authorities, the Domestic Abuse Commissioner and sector partners to support delivery and promote best practice. |

Homelessness: Women
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Tuesday 21st April 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that homelessness services respond effectively to the risk that women who are (a) rough sleeping or (b) experiencing homelessness experience (i) violence and (ii) abuse. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Our National Plan to End Homelessness makes clear that councils should consider the specific needs and barriers experienced by women in accessing services.
We are developing resources to support councils to consider the needs of women who are homeless, rough sleeping or experiencing domestic abuse. Our Outreach toolkit and Single Homelessness and Complex Needs toolkit will include advice on identifying and engaging women sleeping rough, and we are piloting an Ending Rough Sleeping Risk Assessment Tool which considers the experiences of women. Our Homelessness Prevention and Support toolkit will support councils in preventing homelessness where domestic abuse is a contributing factor.
We encourage councils to carry out a women’s rough sleeping census. Last year, we introduced new data on gender in the Rough Sleeping Data Framework, which can be found here.
We continue to work with a range of organisations to gain insight into the challenges faced by women. |

Israel: Lebanon
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Monday 27th April 2026 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the answer of 14 April 2026 by the Foreign Office on Israel: Lebanon, how many export licenses for weapons or dual use items under each category of control list classification have been approved for export from the UK to Israel, which may be used in Israeli military operations in Lebanon. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) We maintain the suspension of export licences for military equipment that could be used by Israel in military operations in Gaza, with the exception of the special measures put in place for exports to the global F-35 programme, as has been set out to Parliament. In practice this means that relevant licences for items which might be used in Israeli actions in other conflicts, including in Lebanon, have already been suspended. We published the latest information on all our export licences for Israel on 20 April, which is available here: Israel export control licensing data (20 April 2026). |

Food: Low Incomes
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Tuesday 28th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to help ensure that the Food Strategy will support access to fresh produce in low-income inner-city communities.

Defra is also working across Government to develop a more strategic, long‑term approach to support food access and affordability in priority locations this Parliament.

Food
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Tuesday 28th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when she expects to publish the Food Strategy.

Health Professions: Training
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) Thursday 21st May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the impact of the Leng Review (2025) on graduates of i) Undergraduate integrated Master of Physician Associate Studies degrees and ii) postgradaute Physician Associate Studies degrees. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We recognise that currently there are employment challenges for newly qualified physician assistants (PAs), also known as physician associates, and that the national conversation around the role has been, and still is at times, difficult. As with many health and care professions, decisions around the recruitment of newly qualified PAs are made by individual National Health Service employing organisations in line with their workforce plans and policies. NHS England is not an employer of PAs but provides system leadership on implementing recommendations from the Leng Review. NHS England is actively engaging employers regionally and at a national level to understand employment issues. Together with the insights and experiences of clinical experts involved in the delivery of education and training, this will inform how we steward and guide the system to support employers and resolve barriers to employment. The Leng Review recommended that newly qualified PAs should gain at least two years’ experience in secondary care prior to taking a role in primary care or a mental health trust. NHS England is developing delivery options and, through its regions, will engage with local employers to design and select the right model, which best reflects the local clinical context and can be incorporated into a multi-disciplinary workforce to meet patient needs. |
