Small Modular Reactors: Insurance
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Wednesday 14th January 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether small modular reactors will be commercially insurable against nuclear radiation events. Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965, operators of nuclear licensed sites are required to have sufficient financial coverage to ensure compensation would be available in the unlikely event of a nuclear incident.
Most operators secure this coverage through nuclear insurance. These are commercial arrangements between operators and insurers. Small modular reactor operators could seek such arrangements in the same manner as other nuclear projects.
In the event that commercially available cover is unattainable, the Secretary of State can make provision for financial security under such terms it considers appropriate. This can be used to ensure there are no gaps in cover. |

Transport: Women
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Wednesday 14th January 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of safe evening transport for women in (a) rural areas and (b) Langley Vale. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury The Department for Transport is committed to making the transport network safer for everyone, including women and girls, whenever and wherever they are travelling. As part of the Government’s aims to reduce Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) by half over the next decade, the Department has an ambitious, evidence-based programme of work to help tackle VAWG on transport. This includes measures in the Bus Services Act 2025 such as training on how to recognise and respond to incidents of criminal and antisocial behaviour (ASB). We know that women and girls are more likely than men to avoid travelling alone when it’s dark. The Department’s ‘Protected characteristics and public transport perceptions and safety’ research, published in 2023, also found that women were more concerned than men about the risk of violence regardless of the time of day. People living in rural areas were more likely to say they felt safe, albeit by a relatively small margin. We are continuing to build our evidence base to better understand the prevalence of VAWG and ASB across the transport network so we can better target interventions. In the meantime, the Department will continue to work across government and with partners, including the British Transport Police (BTP), the transport industry and local authorities to ensure that everyone feels and is safe when travelling.
In relation to taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs), the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill is seeking a power to set in regulations national minimum standards for taxi and PHV licensing. The power was approved by the House of Commons at Report Stage, and the Bill is now being considered by the House of Lords. If passed, this would enable government to set robust standards for licensing right across England, to keep women and girls and, indeed, all members of the public safe, wherever they live or travel.

Health Education: Artificial Intelligence
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Monday 19th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to regulate health advice on AI overviews on internet browsers. Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) NHS England and the Department are taking steps to ensure that health related information is easily available and well-structured to support safe and reliable answers by artificial intelligence (AI), including AI overviews in internet browsers. The NHS.UK website and information provided through the NHS App on different health conditions is clinically assured and we are working with different technology providers to encourage the use of verified and trusted health information to train their AI models to provide content to citizens. Where AI tools meet the definition of a medical device, they fall under the regulation of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). General‑purpose AI systems that do not qualify as medical devices, such as AI‑generated summaries within search engines, may fall within the scope of the Online Safety Act. Services covered by the act must protect users from illegal and harmful content, including misleading health information. The Government has asked Ofcom to use its existing powers to safeguard users and will consider further action if needed. |

General Practitioners: Working Hours
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Tuesday 20th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will release national messaging for patients on the difference between routine and urgent core-hours requirements for GPs. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) As part of the 2025/26 GP Contract, NHS England published You and Your General Practice (YYGP) guidance. YYGP has been developed to help patients understand what to expect from their general practice (GP) and how they can get the best from their GP team. The guidance is based on the contractual requirements that all contractors providing essential GP services must meet and is intended to make patients more informed and to increase practice accountability to patients, with the aim of improving services and patient engagement. GPs are required to provide a link on their website to the NHS England YYGP document, which can also be found here on the NHS England website at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/you-and-your-general-practice/ The guidance will remain under review and will continue to be updated to reflect changes made to GP contracts. Anyone who requires treatment that a GP or healthcare professional regards as an emergency, or as immediately necessary, should be provided that treatment free of charge, regardless of whether they are registered with a GP. There is no set list on what treatment a GP should provide in an emergency, as it is up to the GP’s clinical judgement to decide the correct treatment at the time. |

Audiology: Community Health Services
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Tuesday 20th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to expand access to community-based NHS hearing health services. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Integrated care boards (ICBs) have a statutory responsibility to commission cost-effective healthcare to meet the needs of their local population, and this includes community-based hearing services. The Medium-Term Planning Framework sets a clear target for systems to work to in order to reduce long waits for community health services, and this includes community audiology services. By 2028/29, at least 80% of community health services activity should take place within 18 weeks. In addition, Standardising Community Health Services sets out an overview of core community health services that ICBs should consider when planning for their local populations to support improved commissioning and delivery of community health services, including community-based hearing services. |

Hospitals: Admissions
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Tuesday 20th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of people admitted to hospital in (a) England and (b) Surrey were aged between (i) 30- 39 and (ii) 40 and 49, (iii) 50 and 59 in the past year. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) NHS England does not publish hospital admissions broken down by age. Instead, it publishes numbers of ‘Finished Consultant Episodes’ (FCEs) which means a completed hospital treatment session under a consultant. This data is available at the following link: NHS England publishes data by financial year, meaning the most recent available dataset relates to 2024/25. The following table shows the number and proportion of FCEs by age for patients aged 30 to 39 years old, 40 to 49 years old, and 50 to 59 years old in England in 2024/25:

Social Media: Young People
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Wednesday 21st January 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the monetisation and algorithmic amplification of misogynistic and sexually degrading content on social media platforms on young people’s attitudes towards women, relationships and self-worth. Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) This Government will do everything in our power to keep women and children safe online. Under the Online Safety Act, services are required to protect children from both illegal and harmful content, including violent, abusive or hateful misogynistic content. Services are also required to adjust algorithms for children, so that they do not encourage harmful content, leading to safer feeds. We expect companies to introduce, without delay, the recommended measures in Ofcom’s industry guidance on making platforms safer for women and girls including deprioritising harmful content in recommender algorithms and de‑monetising content which promotes misogynistic abuse and sexual violence. |

Artificial Intelligence: Safety
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Wednesday 21st January 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps she is taking to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) safety mechanisms. Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) There is considerable debate and uncertainty around Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), but the possibility of its development must be taken seriously. The increasing capabilities of AI may exacerbate existing risks and present new risks, for which the UK need to be prepared. The role of the AI Security Institute (AISI) is to build an evidence base on these risks, so the government is equipped to prepare for them. AISI focuses on emerging AI risks with serious security implications, including the potential for AI to help users develop chemical and biological weapons, and the potential for loss of control presented by autonomous systems. The Government will continue to take a long-term, science-led approach to understand and prepare for emerging risks from AI. This includes preparing for the possibility of very rapid AI progress, which could have transformative impacts on society and national security. |

Hospitals: Standards
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 22nd January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will set a definition of corridor care. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The provision of clinical care in corridors is unacceptable, and we are committed to ending its practice in the National Health Service. Furthermore, our Urgent and Emergency Care Plan for 2025/26 commits to publishing data on the prevalence of corridor care for the first time. A definition of corridor care is being agreed and will be published once finalised. NHS England has been working with trusts to put in place new reporting arrangements regarding the use of corridor care to drive improvement and data transparency. The data quality is currently being reviewed, and we expect to publish the information shortly. We are also introducing new clinical operational standards for the first 72 hours of care, setting clear expectations for timely reviews and specialist input, further supporting our efforts to eliminate corridor care and improve patient experience. |

Female Genital Mutilation: Medical Treatments
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 22nd January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of people who were treated following female genital mutilation in the (a) 2022–23, (b) 2023-24 and (c) 2024-25 financial years. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) There are a range of services available to support women affected by female genital mutilation (FGM) including treatment, counselling, and further referrals to urology and gynaecology, depending on clinical need. Data published in the FGM Enhanced Dataset records the number of FGM-related attendances in National Health Service settings. This data is published by NHS England and shows health attendances by patients where FGM was identified or a procedure for FGM was undertaken. The FGM data is collected by NHS healthcare providers in England, including acute hospitals, mental health services, and general practices. The following table shows the number of individual women and girls who had an attendance where FGM was identified, and the number of FGM related attendances for 2022/23, 2023/24, and 2024/25:

Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 22nd January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Education on the establishment of a Space Skills Taskforce. Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans) No meetings have so far taken place, however, developing the United Kingdom's Space sector is an important part of this Government's commitment to supporting jobs, security and prosperity for our country as shown in the Defence Space Strategy.
The Space Ministerial Forum has met 3 times since it was set up in early 2025.

Audiology: Community Health Services
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Friday 23rd January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of commissioning a national framework mandating ICBs to commission NHS community audiology services on a self-referral basis that include wax removal. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Integrated care boards (ICBs) have a statutory responsibility to commission cost-effective healthcare to meet the needs of their local population. This includes the arrangement of services for ear wax removal. The current availability of self-referral and direct access to audiology services depends on local commissioning arrangements and service protocols, including ICB commissioning. Currently, self-referral to audiology services is usually for those with age related hearing loss. NHS England is working with ICBs to support greater standardisation of self-referral arrangements and to assess opportunities to bring more of the self-referral process into the NHS App and website in future where appropriate. |

General Practitioners: Working Hours
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Friday 23rd January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to support suppliers with extended GP online consultation hours. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) General practices (GPs) have been required to offer and promote an online consultation tool to their registered patients since 2021. The change introduced in October 2025 regarding online access explicitly requires that all modes of contacting the practice are available at least during core hours, from 08:00 to 18:30. This means parity for walk-in, phone, and online access. This requirement builds on policies that have been in place for several years to encourage the shift to modern GPs. To support suppliers, NHS England sets clear functionality and accessibility standards for digital tools used in primary care. These standards enable suppliers to develop consistent and high-quality digital solutions, including online consultation tools. The recent online access requirement mainly impacts practices rather than suppliers, as it focuses on ensuring existing online consultation tools remain available during core hours rather than introducing new tools. NHS England provided extensive support to practices in the lead up to the introduction of these requirements and continues to do so. This includes reaching out to any practices that are struggling to help them to prepare, including providing guidance, webinars, case studies, and bringing in GPs and practice staff who are experts in service redesign and improvement in GP services. |
