Written Answers
Disabled Facilities Grants
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Friday 12th September 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the recent review of the Disabled Facilities Grant upper limit, when his Department will publish (a) the results of the review and (b) a report on next steps; and what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the DFG system for people living with motor neurone disease.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

In England, the Government continues to fund the locally administered Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) which helps eligible older and disabled people on low incomes to adapt their homes. This includes people living with motor neurone disease.

We have provided an additional £172 million across the current and previous financial years to uplift the DFG, which could provide around 15,600 home adaptations to give older and disabled people more independence in their homes. This brings the total funding for the DFG to £711 million in 2024/25 and 2025/26.

We continue to keep all aspects of the DFG under consideration. Recently, we carried out a review of the upper limit for the DFG. This was an internal review and will not be published. We are currently considering the findings.

Railways: River Severn
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of building a second Severn Tunnel or bridge specifically for rail services.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The strategic planning functions within Network Rail and Transport for Wales are considering the future capacity requirements of the South Wales Mainline. Their advice will be provided to the Wales Rail Board to inform the prioritisation of the government’s investment in Welsh rail services. Initial findings indicate that predicted future growth of services can be met through incremental upgrade of existing infrastructure.

East West Rail Line
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government plans to extend East-West Rail to (a) Cardiff, (b) Bristol and (c) Norwich.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

East West Rail (EWR) is a new railway that will connect Oxford-Cambridge and cities and towns in between. The proposed service pattern on the line was set out in the EWR consultation in November 2024. There are key interchanges with major rail lines along the route and connections with long distance services will be subject to future decision.

Railways: South Wales and South West
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the potential merits of the development of a metro-style train service between (a) Cardiff, (b) Newport, (c) Bristol and (d) Bath.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

There are no plans to change the existing train service between Cardiff and Bath which is operated by Great Western Railway (GWR). My officials are however in active discussions with Transport for Wales about the potential introduction of a new train service between West Wales and Bristol, which could also serve new stations along the South Wales corridor. The Department for Transport would need to be satisfied that any new service would be operationally robust and affordable for taxpayers.

Railway Stations: South Wales
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what is the total allocated budget for each of the five new railway stations to be built in south east Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The government’s recent Spending Review and Infrastructure Strategy has recognised Wales’ long-term infrastructure needs and will deliver at least £445 million of rail enhancements to realise them. The exact proportion of funding required to support individual enhancement schemes will be confirmed through further development activity currently underway by industry partners.

North Wales Coast Line: Electrification
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has plans for the electrification of the north Wales mainline.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Together with industry partners, we have identified a number of improvements on the North Wales Main Line which will deliver more immediate passenger benefits, including increasing the frequency of services in 2026, which will serve to strengthen the business case for future electrification. Following the Spending Review, we are funding these improvement works as part of the wider £445 million investment to enhance rail infrastructure across Wales — unlocking economic potential, improving connectivity, and supporting communities.

Railway Stations: South Wales
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Spring Statement and the Spending Review 2025, what is the expected completion date of each of the five new railways stations to be built in south east Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Based on the work of the South East Wales Transport Commission and subsequent development activity, new stations are proposed at Newport Road (Cardiff), Newport West, Somerton, Llanwern, and Magor & Undy.

The funding announced in the Spending Review will support the further development of options for these stations, allowing the programme and expected completion date of each station to be confirmed in due course by the two governments, supported by our industry partners.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The government’s recent Spending Review and Infrastructure Strategy has recognised Wales’ long-term infrastructure needs and will deliver at least £445 million of rail enhancements to realise them. The exact proportion of funding required to support individual enhancement schemes will be confirmed through further development activity currently underway by industry partners.

Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she will announce the locations of the five new railway stations to be built in south east Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Based on the work of the South East Wales Transport Commission and subsequent development activity, new stations are proposed at Newport Road (Cardiff), Newport West, Somerton, Llanwern, and Magor & Undy.

The funding announced in the Spending Review will support the further development of options and confirm the exact locations for the stations. The programme for this will be confirmed in due course by the two governments, supported by our industry partners.

Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help (a) tackle infrastructure congestion and (b) improve (i) timetable capacity and (ii) passenger numbers to support open access plans for the Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The delivery of HS2 will almost double long-distance rail capacity between London and the West Midlands, significantly improving the heavily congested southern section of the West Coast Main Line and releasing capacity for other services on the route. We are also investing to increase power supply on the southern end of the West Coast Main Line to enable the introduction of new electric services and support future growth and performance improvements on the route.

Further, my Department remains committed to a role for Open Access where it provides genuine benefits to passengers without disproportionately impacting taxpayers, which is why we provided support for Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway’s application. However, we must equally ensure that Open Access does not have detrimental impacts upon the performance of the network. It is the role of the regulator to take access decisions informed by assessments of capacity.

Railways: Brecon
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of reconnecting Brecon to the rail network.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Wales Rail Board is responsible for assessing and recommending rail investments to support new and improved services in Wales. No credible scheme to restore a direct rail connection to Brecon has been identified to date.

The UK and Welsh Governments are collaborating on their respective bus reform agendas. In Wales, this supports Transport for Wales’ vision for a fully integrated transport network providing improved connectivity to places not served by the existing rail network. For Brecon specifically, a new bus timetable and fare structure has recently been launched, offering greater flexibility and value for passengers.

Cardiff Airport: Railways
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of constructing a direct rail link to Cardiff Airport.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Wales Rail Board is responsible for assessing and recommending rail investments to support new and improved services in Wales. The approach of the Board is to promote improvements to services on the Vale of Glamorgan line, including to Rhoose, where there is an effective integrated bus link to Cardiff Airport.

Railways: Shrewsbury and Wrexham
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking with Great British Railways to help ensure the operation of train services stopping at (a) Wrexham, (b) Shrewsbury and (c) London.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

This Government’s bold vision for the railways will see a unified and simplified rail system that relentlessly focuses on improved services for passengers and better value for taxpayers, ending years of fragmentation and waste.

Great British Railways (GBR) will be the directing mind for the network to provide the best balance between local, regional and national services to deliver a better performing railway for passengers, freight and taxpayers.

GBR will have the ability to plan its future service patterns in accordance with market demand, revenue forecasting, and stakeholder expectations, including train services between Wrexham, Shrewsbury and London.

Telecommunications: Fees and Charges
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Monday 8th September 2025

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the fees charged for (a) lowering, (b) relocating and (c) diverting the network by Openreach.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

As the independent regulator for communications services, Ofcom regulates Openreach’s charges to ensure fair competition, so the government has not made any such specific assessment.

Independent Water Commission
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Tuesday 9th September 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the final report of the Independent Water Commission, published on 21 July 2025, what progress he has made on implementing the recommendations of that report.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government is immediately taking forward a number of Sir Jon’s recommendations. We will establish a new statutory water ombudsman, end operator self-monitoring and introduce Open Monitoring.

Subject to consultation this autumn, the Government will abolish Ofwat and merge its functions to form a single new regulator, which will include a regional element to ensure greater local involvement in water planning. Until the new regulator is fully established, existing regulators will continue to carry out their functions.

The Government will clarify its expectations through a Strategic Policy Statement and ministerial direction, expected to be published later this year. The full response to Sir Jon’s recommendations will be set out in a White Paper for consultation this autumn and a new water reform bill to be introduced early this Parliament.

Ofwat
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Tuesday 9th September 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he expects Ofwat's replacement to be in place.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government will respond to Sir Jon Cunliffe’s recommendations in full via a White Paper, published for consultation this autumn, and a new water reform bill that we will introduce early this Parliament. This Government has confirmed that it will abolish Ofwat and bring water functions from four different regulators into one – a single regulator responsible for the entire water sector. Until the single water regulator is fully established, the existing regulators will continue to carry out their functions and enforcement responsibilities in full.

Universal Credit: Wales
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many people in receipt of Universal Credit welfare payments have (a) undergraduate and (b) post-graduate degrees in Wales.
