Rivers: Environment Protection
Asked by: Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat - Winchester) Tuesday 27th January 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will have discussions with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on adding chalk streams to the list of irreplaceable habitats in the National Planning Policy Framework. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Chalk streams are a large source of national pride. As one of Britain’s most nature-rich habitats, they support some of our rarest wildlife.
During the passage of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill last year, the Government committed to consulting on National Planning Policy Framework to give explicit recognition to chalk streams in the new suite of planning policies for decision making and seek to ensure that chalk streams are explicitly recognised as features of high environmental value. Also, Local Nature Recovery Strategies statutory guidance will be amended to encourage chalk streams to feature prominently.
The Government has has also set out clearer expectations for development proposals to assess and mitigate adverse impacts to water quality on these sensitive waterbodies.
The consultation on changes to the NPPF is available here: National Planning Policy Framework: proposed reforms and other changes to the planning system - GOV.UK and will remain open for responses until 10th March 2026. |

Health Services: Disease Control
Asked by: Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat - Winchester) Tuesday 27th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to develop a national infection strategy. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government already has evidence-based policies in place to embed system-wide infection prevention and control measures to mitigate the impact of infection. For example, the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual (NIPCM) for England provides guidance on infection control for National Health Service healthcare staff of all disciplines in all care settings. The NIPCM, last updated in July 2025, is a live document that is updated in line with new evidence and lessons learned.
More broadly, the UK 5-year action plan for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) 2024 to 2029 contains targets and commitments to address rises in both infection and in antimicrobial prescribing that could arise as a consequence of infection. Further information on the UK 5-year action plan for AMR is available at the following link:

Drugs: Expenditure
Asked by: Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat - Winchester) Thursday 29th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how his Department calculated the cost of additional spending on medicines over the spending review period. Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) In relation to the recently announced plans to increase the standard cost-effectiveness threshold used by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), costs will start smaller but will increase over time as NICE approves more life improving and life-saving medicines. Total costs over the Spending Review period are expected to be approximately £1 billion. The final costs will depend on which medicines NICE recommends and the actual uptake of these. We have no plans to publish an impact assessment or details of the modelling which led to this estimated figure. This deal is a vital investment that builds on the strength of our National Health Service and world leading life sciences without taking essential funding from our frontline NHS services. |

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Defra does not test seized illegal meat imports for infectious agents. Border Force and local authorities seize illegal meat imports, which must be safely disposed of in accordance with animal by-products rules. |
