Broadband: South West
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Wednesday 12th November 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what progress her Department has made on rolling out Project Gigabit in the South West. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) Through Project Gigabit we are delivering gigabit-capable connections to premises across the South West that are not expected to be reached by the commercial market alone. Up to 31 March 2025, approximately 165,900 premises across the region have received access to a gigabit-capable broadband connection through publicly-funded broadband projects. We remain committed to ensuring that at least 99% of UK premises are able to access a gigabit-capable connection by 2032. |

IVF: LGBT+ People
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Monday 24th November 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure female same-sex couples have access to NHS-funded IVF treatment. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government recognises that fertility treatment across the National Health Service in England is subject to variation in access. Work continues between the Department and NHS England to better understand the offer around National Health Service-funded fertility services including access for female same sex couples. Funding decisions for health services in England are made by integrated care boards (ICBs) and are based on the clinical needs of their population. We expect ICBs to commission fertility services in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines ensuring equal access to fertility treatment across England. NICE is currently reviewing the fertility guidelines and will consider whether the current recommendations for access to NHS-funded treatment are still appropriate. A consultation on revised guidelines was published on 10 September and closed on 21 October 2025. The guidance is currently in development with the final recommendations expected to be published in March 2026. |
