Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she will publish her response to the consultation on the SEND proposals in the Schools White Paper, Every Child Achieving and Thriving.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education)

Earlier this year, the department consulted on proposals to reform the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system. Our aim is to create a more inclusive education system that ensures all children and young people, including those with SEND, can achieve and thrive. This will ensure every child across the country receives the right support locally, at an early stage and without a fight.

Almost 10,000 people responded to the consultation and more than 3,000 attended events across the country. Since the consultation closed, we have continued to listen and develop our proposals in response to feedback.

We are committed to co-designing the reforms with children, families and professionals, and to testing and refining the proposals collaboratively to ensure they work in practice.

We are currently analysing the feedback and will publish our response to the consultation in due course.

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when she plans to publish the summary of responses to the Park homes: reasons for commission payments call for evidence, published on 5 March 2026.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

The government recognise that there are longstanding concerns about the requirement to pay site owners a commission upon sale of a park home.

The previous government published a report in June 2022 on the impact of a change in the maximum park home sale commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.

On 5 March 2026, my Department published a 12-week call for evidence regarding the rationale for the payment of a commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.

We are currently analysing the feedback received and remain committed to publishing a detailed summary of responses ahead of announcing the government's final position by the end of the year.
