HM Courts and Tribunals Service Asked by: Christopher Chope (Conservative - Christchurch) Thursday 16th July 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when will HM Courts & Tribunals Service reference number 1753292273313841 (a) be listed and (b) be heard. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) I can confirm the case you have referred to will be listed within August 2026 to be heard in September 2026. A notice of the hearing will be issued on the day of listing which will be approximately three weeks ahead of the hearing date.
Health Services: Patients Asked by: Christopher Chope (Conservative - Christchurch) Monday 13th July 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Department of Health and Social Care or NHS England made or commissioned a clinical or patient safety impact assessment of the duty in paragraph 11C(2) of Schedule 3 to the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) Regulations 2015, inserted by SI 2026/532, before that instrument was laid before Parliament. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Secretary of State for Wales The Department and NHS England considered the potential impacts of expanding Advice and Guidance (A&G) as part of the policy development process, including through clinical input, established governance arrangements, and equalities considerations. A&G is intended to support timely clinical decision‑making and ensure patients are directed to the most appropriate care. National guidance is in place to support its safe and consistent use, and the use of A&G does not change existing clinical accountability or patient safety arrangements. The contract does not change the clinical threshold for referral to specialist care. General practitioner (GPs) should continue to make a clinical decision to refer for specialist care where that is in the patient’s best interests, and to request specialist advice where it is needed. GPs retain responsibility for referral decisions, and this model supports, and does not replace, clinical judgement. The 2026/27 GP Contract embeds the previous A&G enhanced service funding into core practice funding. Following near universal uptake of the A&G Enhanced Service in 2025/26, the focus for 2026/27 is on stability and simplicity. Embedding the specialist advice model within the core contract recognises its role in routine clinical practice, removes annual signups, and provides more predictable funding while supporting consistent patient pathways.
Probate Asked by: Christopher Chope (Conservative - Christchurch) Thursday 16th July 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when will the probate application 1763-9735-8436-3140, submitted by David Bull on 24 November 2025, in respect of Beryl Patricia Bull, be granted. Answered by Catherine Atkinson HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has checked the application referred to. The application cannot currently be granted as further enquiries need to be made before a grant can be issued. HMCTS apologises for the delay in progressing this application. The applicant is being updated and, once the relevant enquiries have been completed, the application will be processed as quickly as possible.
Defence: Finance Asked by: Christopher Chope (Conservative - Christchurch) Thursday 16th July 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference, to the statement by the Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry on 15th June 2026 in column 571, at what time did that meeting begin and at what time did it finish. Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) The correction was made in the House on 22 June 2026 and is available on parliament.uk.
Members: Correspondence Asked by: Christopher Chope (Conservative - Christchurch) Tuesday 14th July 2026 Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, with reference to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade in response to the hon. Member for Christchurch on 17 June 2026, Official Report, column 841, what progress he has made on responding to that correspondence. Answered by Chris McDonald - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) This particular letter was sent to the inbox of ex-Secretary of State, Jonathan Reynolds on 10 June 2026, which is why was not seen by officials until 13 July 2026. The Department will respond to the usual timeline. The measure was announced through a Written Ministerial Statement and Oral Statement to both Houses and has since been discussed through Oral Questions and an Urgent Question. Ministers and officials also hosted a dedicated two-hour MP drop-in session to hear directly from Members and discuss concerns raised by their constituents and local businesses.

Select Committee Inquiry
17 Jul 2026 Business and energy Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Energy support and decarbonisation funding for the chemicals and ceramics sectors was an encouraging sign that Government recognises a central challenge for industry: decarbonisation and electricity prices go hand in hand. It offers a potential model for future targeted support by linking help with energy costs to incentives for cleaner production. However, it also highlights the absence of a broader strategic framework for industrial decarbonisation/electrification across manufacturing. Current support remains uneven. The new BICS scheme is not designed to drive electrification and decarbonisation and may be better understood as short-term relief. The EII Supercharger also provides important relief for some energy-intensive industries, but many manufacturers remain outside its scope. This is particularly concerning given the continued uncertainty around the long-awaited Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy, which remains unpublished and may not provide the clarity or scope industry needs. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) account for 99% of the business population in the UK and over a third of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. Rising cost pressures are increasingly limiting SME’s ability to drive growth in local economies and contribute to the UK’s net‑zero transition. Many firms are postponing or scaling back green investment, and NatWest’s latest growth tracker shows that only 30% of firms consider sustainability a high priority, the lowest since early 2020.
17 Jul 2026 Warm and comfortable homes Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The government will establish a Warm Homes Agency (WHA) – a dedicated public body to support the delivery of the Warm Homes Plan, and guide consumers through the transition. It will consolidate Salix, relevant DESNZ functions, and parts of Ofgem and work at both a national and local level (subject to agreement with the devolved governments). There will be strategic, area-based coordination so that the electricity grid can keep pace with electrification and the rollout of clean technologies. This involves increased planning at a local level, bringing together DNOs, local authorities, strategic mayoral authorities, and other local/regional stakeholders (energy suppliers, housing associations, community energy groups etc). The Plan indicates that the Government considers home upgrades to be the best tool to fight fuel poverty and lower bills. The existing retrofit system is too complex, fragmented, and inconsistent, which leads to poor consumer experiences (including the recent case with ECO). The Government says that it will simplify certification structures, strengthen accountability, and consider moving oversight under closer government control and the WHA. From 2027 the WHA will provide impartial advice and clear information (online and by phone) on home upgrades to consumers in partnership with the private sector and third party advice sector. Services will be integrated with local advice providers to reach harder‑to‑engage communities.
24 Jul 2026 National Planning Policy Statement on Nuclear Fusion Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 28 Aug 2026) Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun, and for decades humans have been working towards harnessing its remarkable, "clean" power. Now the UK Government has determined that the technology has advanced sufficiently to warrant introducing planning legislation that will facilitate the development of prototypes and demonstrator facilities. The Government has made an initial consultation the need for a framework on how proposals for such facilities should be developed. There is a need for regulatory clarity, and that regulation must cover whichever fusion technology is being employed, for whichever output, thermal or electrical. On 8 June 2026 the Government put forward its proposal EN-8, a national policy planning statement for the generation of fusion energy. Consultation and scrutiny of EN-8 The National Policy Statement for Nuclear Energy Generation (EN-8) has been put forward to help guide planners as they seek to make decisions on siting new nuclear fusion infrastructure.   Under the Planning Act 2008, a National Policy Statement (NPS) like EN-8 must undergo public consultation and parliamentary scrutiny before it can be formally designated.   The full draft text of EN-8 is currently under consultation by the Government and the Committee is beginning the parliamentary scrutiny process, offering industry, experts, and the public the opportunity to comment as it examines the implications of the framework set out in EN-8.   What is EN-8?  EN-8 is intended to become the principal guide for decisions on nuclear fusion power stations in England and Wales.  Nuclear fission infrastructure is regulated under EN-7, supporting development of nuclear technologies like Small Modular Reactors and Advanced Modular Reactors and traditional gigawatt-scale plants.  The significant difference in technology means that the Government intends for nuclear fusion to be managed entirely separately from nuclear fission. The aim is to create clarity, allowing interested investors and developers to have more confidence in bringing forward projects that will result in fusion energy contributing to the grid by 2040.  The draft EN-8 focuses on environmental, safety & security, operational and developmental themes with detailed requirements for developers and the Planning Inspectorate in these areas. The Government has indicated that the Committee process must be complete by 30 November.

National Planning Policy Statement on Nuclear Fusion
Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 28 Aug 2026)

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun, and for decades humans have been working towards harnessing its remarkable, "clean" power.

Now the UK Government has determined that the technology has advanced sufficiently to warrant introducing planning legislation that will facilitate the development of prototypes and demonstrator facilities.

The Government has made an initial consultation the need for a framework on how proposals for such facilities should be developed. There is a need for regulatory clarity, and that regulation must cover whichever fusion technology is being employed, for whichever output, thermal or electrical.

On 8 June 2026 the Government put forward its proposal EN-8, a national policy planning statement for the generation of fusion energy.

Consultation and scrutiny of EN-8

The National Policy Statement for Nuclear Energy Generation (EN-8) has been put forward to help guide planners as they seek to make decisions on siting new nuclear fusion infrastructure.  

Under the Planning Act 2008, a National Policy Statement (NPS) like EN-8 must undergo public consultation and parliamentary scrutiny before it can be formally designated.  

The full draft text of EN-8 is currently under consultation by the Government and the Committee is beginning the parliamentary scrutiny process, offering industry, experts, and the public the opportunity to comment as it examines the implications of the framework set out in EN-8.  

What is EN-8? 

EN-8 is intended to become the principal guide for decisions on nuclear fusion power stations in England and Wales. 

Nuclear fission infrastructure is regulated under EN-7, supporting development of nuclear technologies like Small Modular Reactors and Advanced Modular Reactors and traditional gigawatt-scale plants.  The significant difference in technology means that the Government intends for nuclear fusion to be managed entirely separately from nuclear fission.

The aim is to create clarity, allowing interested investors and developers to have more confidence in bringing forward projects that will result in fusion energy contributing to the grid by 2040.  The draft EN-8 focuses on environmental, safety & security, operational and developmental themes with detailed requirements for developers and the Planning Inspectorate in these areas.

The Government has indicated that the Committee process must be complete by 30 November.
