Railways: Disability Aids
Asked by: Daisy Cooper (Liberal Democrat - St Albans) Monday 10th August 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether when new rolling stock is introduced to a railway line she requires accessibility accessories such as Harrington Humps to be relocated to ensure compatibility. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department does not require accessibility features such as Harrington Humps to be relocated solely because new rolling stock is introduced. However, when new trains are introduced, operators and infrastructure managers are expected to ensure that stations and rolling stock remain compatible and meet applicable accessibility requirements, and this may include assessing whether platform modifications or the repositioning of accessibility features are necessary at specific locations.

Asked by: Daisy Cooper (Liberal Democrat - St Albans) Wednesday 2nd September 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether a postgraduate student with a valid Student Visa, who has been asked to leave the UK to apply for an Innovator Founder Visa, would have their Student Visa revoked during the assessment process for an Innovator Founder Visa. Answered by Jo White - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) Student visa holders do not need to leave the UK to apply for an Innovator Founder visa, provided they have completed the course they were sponsored to study or, if they are studying for a PhD full-time, they must have been studying for at least 24 months. Applicants must also meet all relevant eligibility requirements to apply for an Innovator Founder visa (https://www.gov.uk/innovator-founder-visa/eligibility). |

Child Trust Fund
Asked by: Daisy Cooper (Liberal Democrat - St Albans) Friday 4th September 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 13 July 2026 to Question 16191 on Child Trust Fund, if he will provide an update on the work of the CTF taskforce to improve tracing approaches for unclaimed funds. Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Child Trust Fund (CTF) Taskforce has met twice. It brings together Government and industry to improve tracing outcomes and encourage more young people to access their matured CTFs. Providers have shared tracing approaches, and the Taskforce is considering how effective practices can be adopted more widely across the sector. Discussions have also focused on improving engagement with account holders, strengthening communications and developing measures to assess progress. This work is being supported by HMRC research into the barriers that prevent some young people from accessing their accounts.
We cannot estimate the proportion of unclaimed CTF accounts registered to (a) currently and (b) previously looked after young people because the information required to identify these accounts is not included in the statistical returns that HMRC receives from providers. Information on CTFs is available in HMRC’s Annual Savings Statistics published on Gov.uk:

Child Trust Fund
Asked by: Daisy Cooper (Liberal Democrat - St Albans) Friday 4th September 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 13 July 2026 to Question 16191 on Child Trust Fund, whether she has considered the potential merits of requiring social workers with responsibility for looked after young people to provide (a) information and (b) assistance to access unclaimed Child Trust Fund accounts. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) It is important that young people, including looked-after children and care leavers, are able to access financial assets held in their name. Existing statutory guidance already sets out responsibilities for local authorities in relation to Child Trust Funds for looked-after children, including guidance intended for social workers and Independent Reviewing Officers. These arrangements are kept under review. |
