Community Amateur Sports Clubs Scheme
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Tuesday 17th February 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions her Department has had with (a) national sporting bodies and (b) cricket governing bodies on changes to Corporation Tax Return filing arrangements for Community Amateur Sports Clubs. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) I have assumed this is a reference to the closure of the joint-filing web-based service offered by HMRC and Companies House, which Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) can use to file Company Tax Returns should they need to.
HMRC announced the closure of the service in February 2025, adding messaging within the service to all users. During April and May 2025 HMRC also wrote to those impacted with support on how to transition.
HMRC have engaged directly with users of the service and with representative bodies about its closure. |

Community Amateur Sports Clubs Scheme
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Tuesday 17th February 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential financial impact of requiring the use of commercial software to submit Corporation Tax Returns on Community Amateur Sports Clubs. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) I recognise some Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) have raised concerns about the requirement to use commercial software to submit Company Tax Returns.
HMRC does not expect these requirements to impose significant ongoing costs. CASCs are not required to file a Company Tax Return every year. They only need to submit a return if HMRC issues a notice to deliver one, or if they have taxable income or gains that give rise to a Corporation Tax liability.
HMRC will continue to work with providers to explore low-cost options for the very smallest organisations needing to file Corporate Tax Returns, including CASCs. |

Trade Agreements: Dispute Resolution
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Tuesday 17th February 2026 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of Investor-State Dispute Settlement claims arising from climate-related planning and regulatory decisions on public finances. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provides an independent means for investors to resolve disputes with states where they believe they have experienced arbitrary, discriminatory, or unfair treatment or expropriation without compensation. An independent Tribunal determines the level of liability, if any, in any Investor State Dispute proceedings. The Government has never faced a successful ISDS claim. |

Cleaning Services: Health Services
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Friday 20th February 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the resilience of NHS services to disruptions within the commercial laundry sector. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The NHS England estates, commercial, and emergency preparedness, resilience, and response teams are undertaking an assessment of the provision of laundry services, in-house and out-sourced, in the National Health Service. This includes the NHS requirements for laundry services, available capacity, and the most efficient approach to their provision. |

Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Public Consultation
Asked by: Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat - North Cornwall) Thursday 26th February 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the (a) accessibility and (b)) ease of access of online consultations held by his Department. Answered by Samantha Dixon - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Consultations at MHCLG are published on GOV.UK using the ‘consultations’ content type. This page type has been designed by Government Digital Service (GDS) to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 standards.
Teams are supported to follow GDS guidelines for creating accessible web documents when creating consultations. Wherever possible, MHCLG publish consultation documents in HTML format to maximise accessibility.
Respondents can comment on a consultation via an online survey that is hosted on MHCLG’s consultation platform, Citizen Space. The Citizen Space platform has been developed to meet WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards and is commonly used by central and local government to conduct accessible consultation processes.
Most consultations at MHCLG also give users the opportunity to make enquiries and to respond to the consultation via email and/or by post. |
