Gluten-free Foods: Prescriptions
Asked by: Ian Byrne (Labour - Liverpool West Derby) Monday 3rd March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of integrated care boards limiting access to prescriptions for gluten-free products on people with coeliac disease. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department does not plan to make such an assessment. NHS England guidance on prescribing gluten-free foods in primary care was developed in 2018 to communicate to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). The guidance stated that CCGs may further restrict the prescribing of gluten-free foods by selecting bread only, mixes only or they may choose to end prescribing of such foods altogether having considered whether it is appropriate for their population, taking account of their legal duties to advance equality and have regard to reducing health inequalities. The guidance is available at the following link:
Decisions about the commissioning and funding of local health services are now the responsibility of local integrated care boards (ICBs), rather than CCGs. NHS England guidance should be considered when ICBs formulate local policies, and prescribers are expected to reflect local policies in their prescribing practice. The guidance does not remove the clinical discretion of prescribers in accordance with their professional duties. The national prescribing position in England remains that gluten free bread and mixes can be provided to coeliac patients on National Health Service prescription and a wide range of these items continue to be listed in part XV of the Drug Tariff. This means that prescribers can issue NHS prescriptions, based on a shared decision between prescriber and patient, while also being mindful of local and national guidance. |
Africa: Debts
Asked by: Ian Byrne (Labour - Liverpool West Derby) Monday 3rd March 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his international counterparts on steps to help African countries manage (a) debt burdens and (b) service payments. Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The Foreign Secretary regularly meets with international counterparts. As set out by the Foreign Secretary, Chancellor, and the former Minister for Development, tackling unsustainable debt is a key development priority for this government. Where low-income countries are facing unsustainable debt, the government's position is that they should undertake a restructuring through the G20 Common Framework. We welcome recent Common Framework debt agreements with Zambia and Ghana and are calling for efforts to strengthen and speed up debt restructurings. We are also focussed on strengthening the system for the future. This means improving debt transparency, strengthening debt management, global implementation of sustainable lending and borrowing practices, and wider roll out of Natural Disaster Clauses which pause debt repayments when a climate or health disaster hits. |

Asked by: Ian Byrne (Labour - Liverpool West Derby) Friday 7th March 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make it his policy to reject investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms in future trade deals with Colombia. Answered by Douglas Alexander - Minister of State (Cabinet Office) The Government has no plan to negotiate a new trade deal with Colombia. |
Local Government Finance
Asked by: Ian Byrne (Labour - Liverpool West Derby) Friday 28th February 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to ensure local authorities have adequate levels of Government funding. Answered by Jim McMahon - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Local Government Finance Settlement for 2025-26 makes available over £69 billion for local government, which is a 6.8% cash terms increase in councils’ Core Spending Power on 2024-25.
Taken together, the additional funding announced by the Chancellor at the Autumn Budget and through the 2025-26 Local Government Finance Settlement will provide over £5 billion of new funding for local services over and above local council tax. This includes: an additional £2 billion of grant through the Settlement; a guarantee that local authorities in England will receive at least £1.1 billion in total in 2025-26 from the new Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) scheme; and a further £233 million of additional funding for homelessness services.
We are also taking immediate action to begin addressing the significant challenges facing local government by ensuring that funding goes to the places that need it most in 2025-26.
The Government is committed to introducing an improved and updated approach to funding local authorities from 2026-27.
The Ministry works closely with local government and other government departments to understand specific demand and cost pressures facing local government on an ongoing basis.
We recognise the challenges that local authorities are facing as demand increases for critical services. Funding allocations from future settlements are subject to the outcome of future Spending Reviews. |
