Infant Foods
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he is taking steps to update regulations on the (a) composition, (b) marketing and (c) labelling of commercial infant foods. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Children’s early years provide an important foundation for their future health and strongly influences many aspects of well-being in later life. It is vital that we maintain the highest standards for foods consumed by babies and infants, which is why we have regulations in place that set nutritional and compositional standards for commercial baby food. The regulations also set labelling standards to ensure consumers have clear and accurate information about the products they buy. We continue to keep these regulations, which apply in England, under review to ensure they reflect the latest scientific and dietary guidelines. Similar legislation exists in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. |

Broadband: Rural Areas
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Tuesday 13th May 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps he is taking to ensure that people in rural areas have equal access to broadband services. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) Project Gigabit is the government’s programme to roll out fast, reliable broadband to UK premises that are not included in suppliers' commercial plans. Over 35 contracts, with a combined value of over £2.3 billion, have already been signed to deliver gigabit-capable broadband to over 1 million premises, predominantly in rural areas. Last week we announced a £157 million contract with Openreach to deliver gigabit-capable broadband to up to 65,000 rural and hard-to-reach premises across Central, Northern and Western Scotland, including in the Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey constituency. |

Mobile Broadband: Rural Areas
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Tuesday 13th May 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps he is taking to improve the availability of cellular networks in rural areas. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) The government wants all areas of the UK to benefit from reliable, high quality mobile coverage. We continue to work with Ofcom to ensure that their coverage reporting is as accurate as possible to allow us to reliably and accurately identify underserved areas. 4G geographic coverage from at least one mobile operator has now reached over 95% of the UK landmass, and we continue to work with the industry to deliver 4G mobile connectivity to places where there is either limited or no coverage. Our ambition is to go further, and for all populated areas, including rural communities, to have access to higher-quality standalone 5G by 2030. We continue to work closely with the mobile network operators and are committed to ensuring we have the right policy and regulatory framework in place to support investment and competition in the market. |

Pesticides: Waste Disposal
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what disposal schemes exist for banned pesticides. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) For all pesticides, there are legal requirements to store the product securely and dispose safely of any surplus. It is illegal to use or store any plant protection product (pesticide) that is no longer authorised. Professional users in possession of unauthorised plant protection products should contact an authorised business to dispose of them. While there are currently no specific government schemes for the disposal of banned pesticides, guidance for businesses needing to dispose of hazardous waste such as pesticides can be found on gov.uk. Amateur users should contact their local Civic Amenity site and ask them for guidance on disposal. |
