Israeli Settlements: Sanctions
Asked by: Cat Eccles (Labour - Stourbridge) Wednesday 16th September 2026 Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of sanctions on companies involved in settlements in the West Bank on the medicines supply chain. Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) (Jointly with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The measures announced by the Foreign Secretary on 8 September will include restrictions on the import into the UK of goods originating in illegal settlements. These measures will be carefully designed to target trade with illegal settlements, while protecting legitimate trade between the UK and ‘Green Line’ Israel, including medicines and medical products. The current assessment is that the potential impact on the medicines supply chain will be low, but we will continue to monitor this following the announcement of the measures, in line with the standard process when introducing new Statutory Instruments. Detailed guidance will be published alongside the implementing legislation to clarify the implications for UK businesses, and we will work closely with industry partners to maintain the medical supply trade and ensure continuity of supply to UK patients. |

NHS Trusts: Recruitment
Asked by: Cat Eccles (Labour - Stourbridge) Monday 21st September 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment has been made of NHS Trusts willingness and financial ability to take on new specialty medical training posts for the August 2026 recruitment round. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) As the first step in delivering the expansion of specialty training posts by up to 4,500 in England over the next three years, more than 350 additional places were made available in August, with the aim of them starting in February 2027. To deliver this, and the remaining additional places due for 2027, the Government asked trusts to submit expressions of interest based on identified service needs, training capacity and training quality. As part of this process, it is expected that trusts assess their capacity and resources to deliver these posts, making better use of existing temporary staffing expenditure, for example on locum, bank and agency spend to convert these into substantive training posts. |

Emergencies: Mobile Phones
Asked by: Cat Eccles (Labour - Stourbridge) Wednesday 30th September 2026 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what her Department's policy is on choosing whether to issue an Emergency Alert nationally or to target a specific geographical location; and whether she plans to enhance the system's proportionality and precision to help maintain public confidence and reduce risk of alert fatigue. Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office) Emergency Alerts in the UK will be sent where there is a risk to life in a defined area and the public must take immediate action. In the case of the recent activation regarding wildfires this was requested by the National Fire Chiefs Council, and the Alert content and broadcast area was coordinated between government and responding public bodies.
Each request is evaluated by the Cabinet Office on a rigorous, case-by-case basis to ensure it is necessary for public safety. While we strive to use this tool sparingly, the Cabinet Office remains committed to reviewing every alert request with the utmost care to balance public awareness with the potential for public fatigue. The Department conducts internal evaluation after each deployment of the capability and is committed to continuously improving this valuable service to keep people safe.

Electronic Cigarettes and Tobacco: Smuggling
Asked by: Cat Eccles (Labour - Stourbridge) Tuesday 13th October 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking through penalties to help tackle the sale of illegal tobacco and vapes. Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Tobacco and vape products sold in the United Kingdom must meet product, packaging, and notification requirements. The maximum penalty that could be imposed for failing to comply with requirements is two years imprisonment or an unlimited fine, or both. On 1 June 2025, it became illegal to sell or supply single use vapes in the United Kingdom. In England, those selling single use vapes face £200 fixed monetary penalties and stop notices ordering them to cease the illegal activity. If a notice is not complied with, an individual is guilty of an offence and is liable for an unlimited fine or imprisonment. HM Revenue and Customs operate a UK Track and Trace System to combat illicit tobacco sales. Penalties for failing to meet the requirements of the Tobacco Track and Trace System include fines of up to £10,000 and seizure of illicit tobacco products. For persistent non-compliance, HM Revenue and Customs can deactivate a business’ economic operator ID which would mean the business can no longer buy or sell tobacco legally in the UK. A new Vaping Products Duty will be introduced from 1 October 2026, alongside a Vaping Duty Stamps scheme. HM Revenue and Customs will adopt similar compliance and enforcement powers to those that are already in place to administer other taxes and duties, including penalties for those who do not meet their obligations. |
