Swimming Pools
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Monday 7th July 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to support the viability of public swimming pools. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) The Government recognises that sports clubs and facilities, including swimming pools, are important to communities up and down the country. Everyone, no matter who they are or where they live, should have access to them and opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity. That is why we have committed another £400 million to transform facilities across the whole of the nation following the Spending Review. We will now work closely with sporting bodies and local leaders to establish what each community needs and then set out further plans.
The ongoing responsibility of providing access to public leisure swimming facilities lies at local authority level. We are committed to supporting Local Government and ensuring that funding goes to the places that need it most through the Local Government Finance Settlement.
The Government encourages local authorities and local leaders to make investments which offer the right opportunities and facilities (including swimming pools) for the communities they serve, investing in sport and physical activity with a place-based approach, to meet the needs of individual communities. This is complemented by the support and guidance available through the Government’s Arm’s Length Body, Sport England. We will continue to engage with a full range of stakeholders to explore how we can work towards securing a vibrant future for swimming pools, enabling them to continue delivering their full potential for public health, economic growth, and the wellbeing of our communities.

Mortgages: Private Rented Housing
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Monday 7th July 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to ensure buy-to-let mortgage products are available for landlords renting to vulnerable tenants. Answered by Emma Reynolds - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government welcomes innovation in the mortgage market and continues to work with the sector to improve housing provisions and the safeguards in place for the vulnerable.
The availability and design of buy-to-let mortgages is a commercial decision for lenders in which the Government does not intervene.

Trade Agreements: European Union
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Thursday 10th July 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent progress his Department has made on implementing the UK-EU summit agreements. Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office At the first UK-EU Summit, the Government agreed a substantial package to take forward our new Strategic Partnership with the EU. We are proceeding swiftly with technical negotiations to implement these commitments. We will keep Parliament updated on significant developments.

Students: Loans
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Thursday 10th July 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of changing the postgraduate loan repayment threshold to be in line with the National Minimum Wage. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The government keeps the student finance system under continuous review to ensure it remains fair, sustainable and delivers value for students, universities and the wider economy. The postgraduate loans schemes were introduced to help remove the financial barrier faced by those wishing to step up to achieve a postgraduate level qualification. They are part of the long-term commitment to make the UK more globally competitive by increasing the number of those with high level skills and knowledge. As part of our ongoing work, we always consider a range of factors which can affect repayment thresholds and recognise the importance of ensuring that the system remains fair for borrowers, as well as being financially sustainable. |
