Children: Maintenance
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Monday 2nd February 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the Child Maintenance Service policy in establishing the Paying Parent, in the context of changes in societal norms and the increase in co-parenting and shared parenting arrangements. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The person providing primary care of the child and with whom the child lives is entitled to make an application for child maintenance. This is known as the receiving parent. The receiving parent is determined by which parent looks after the child most of the time. For example, with whom the child has their home and who usually provides day to day care for the child.
The Child Maintenance Calculation can be amended to reflect co-parenting and shared parenting arrangements. A paying parent’s maintenance liability can be reduced where they have overnight care of a child for whom they pay maintenance. This reduction is intended to broadly reflect the cost associated with any overnight care given. The paying parent must have overnight care of any qualifying children for at least 52 nights a year, equivalent to 1 night per week. The amount payable is reduced to a maximum of 50 per cent within bands based on the number of days overnight care is provided over a 12-month period.
The CMS uses bands based on the number of days overnight care is provided, to ensure a fair, consistent, and administratively efficient method of accounting for the costs borne by each parent.
If the CMS is satisfied that both parents have equal day-to-day care for the child, in addition to sharing overnight care, there is no requirement for either parent to pay child maintenance.
There is no statutory definition of day-to-day care, our definition is broadly aligned with that of Child Benefit, where an ‘overall care test’ is used. This provides consistency across government and receipt of Child Benefit is regarded as a good indicator of who is entitled to child maintenance payments.

Agricultural Products: UK Trade with EU
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Monday 9th February 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many lorries of perishable goods have been refused entry into Europe at the French border under the sanitary and phytosanitary arrangements in the last year. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Data on UK consignments refused entry at French Border Control Posts is generated and owned by the competent authorities in France, who are responsible for any publication or wider disclosure.
We recognise that some GB exporters have seen an increase in rejections over the past year, reflecting the EU’s decision to reinforce sanitary and phytosanitary controls on commodities entering the EU. Our priority is to ensure that UK goods exported to the EU meet all relevant EU SPS requirements, and we continue to support businesses in doing so.
The UK has begun negotiations with the EU on an SPS agreement to make agrifood trade cheaper and easier for producers and retailers. |

4 Feb 2026
Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 27 Mar 2026) Cross-border healthcare affects individuals living in both England and across Wales, who travel between the nations for GPs, specialist care, hospitals, and more. Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales offer unique challenges, some of which the Welsh Affairs Committee heard during a one-off evidence session conducted in January 2025.
This inquiry is building on the Committee’s previous evidence session on cross-border healthcare to explore in greater depth the issues affecting patients. It will look at the progress that has been made with cross-border healthcare arrangements as well as identify areas of improvement. It will also seek to address the impact of recent policy healthcare announcements on cross-border healthcare arrangements.
