Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to help amend UN frameworks to tackle global debt.

Answered by Emma Reynolds - Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Tackling unsustainable debt in low-income countries is a key development priority for this government. We are working closely with partners to strengthen and speed up the G20 common framework, and to enhance debt transparency for debtor and creditors. We have set up the new London Coalition on Sustainable Sovereign Debt, to promote contractual innovations for increased resilience and to make restructurings quicker.


The government welcomes the package to support debt sustainability in the outcome document agreed at the UN’s Seville Conference on Financing for Development in June, specifically the strong action to improve debtor voice, debt transparency, disaster pause clauses and strengthen the G20 Common Framework. We will maintain momentum on reforms to the existing debt architecture. We are also engaging with partners on the intergovernmental process at the UN

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure an adequate supply of ADHD medication.

Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Department has worked closely with industry stakeholders and, following extensive collaborative efforts, previous issues have been resolved, and all strengths of lisdexamfetamine, atomoxetine capsules, atomoxetine oral solution, guanfacine prolonged-release tablets, and methylphenidate prolonged-release tablets are now available. We are working to resolve a remaining issue for Equasym XL capsules, and anticipate that this issue to be resolved in August 2025.

We continue to support the NHS England ADHD taskforce, which brings together expertise from the National Health Service, education, and justice sectors to coordinate a system-wide response to rising demand. In collaboration with NHS England’s national attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) data improvement plan, we are developing future growth forecasts to support improved demand planning. These forecasts will be shared with industry to help ensure a more responsive and sustainable supply of ADHD medicines. In parallel, we are also engaging with new suppliers for ADHD medicines to increase supply capacity and resilience.

The Department also maintains and regularly updates a list of currently available and unavailable ADHD products on the Specialist Pharmacy Service website. This resource supports prescribers and dispensers in making informed decisions with patients. The list is available at the following link:
