Somalia: Human Rights
Asked by: Gill Furniss (Labour - Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough) Tuesday 21st April 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment her Department has made of the human rights situation in Somalia. Answered by Chris Elmore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) We remain deeply concerned by the human rights situation in Somalia, including the devastating conflict-related violence against women and children, and deteriorating media freedom. The UK advocates for greater respect for human rights through targeted programmes and sustained engagement, holding the Federal Government of Somalia and other actors to account. As co-chair of a Somalia-focused Human Rights Working Group, and joint penholder for the United Nations Human Rights Council mandate, the UK plays a leading role in keeping international partners’ attention and efforts focused on human rights issues in Somalia. |

Neurofibromatosis
Asked by: Gill Furniss (Labour - Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough) Tuesday 26th May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, a) what steps are being taken to inform those living with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) that they are entitled to earlier screening for breast cancer, and b) what steps are being taken to improve access to earlier screening for those with NF1. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) This Government is committed to improving cancer screening services in line with the National Cancer Plan and as part of the 10-Year Health Plan’s shift from treatment to prevention. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) affects individuals differently. An individual’s risk of breast cancer is based on a number of factors. These factors may vary throughout a lifetime which is why individuals are advised to seek advice from their health professionals. Most, but not all, individuals with NF1 would be considered at moderate risk of breast cancer, which would mean they could be referred to local cancer surveillance programme commissioned via integrated care boards. National Institute of Health and Care Excellence guidance does not address NF1 specifically but does state that people with certain genetic conditions should be referred through to a geneticist to consider their risk and may qualify for annual breast screening between 40 and 50 years of age. The NHS website provides information for people living with NF1, available at the following link: |
