Fuels: Excise Duties
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Wednesday 5th November 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of increasing the rebate provided under the Rural Fuel Duty Relief Scheme in line with inflation. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Rural Fuel Duty Relief Scheme has provided a 5p reduction to motorists buying fuel in certain areas since its introduction in 2012, with the rate remaining unchanged during that time. The areas included in the scheme demonstrate certain characteristics such as: pump prices much higher than the UK average; remoteness leading to high fuel transport costs from refinery to filling station, and; relatively low sales meaning that retailers cannot benefit from bulk discounts.
The Government carefully considers the impact of fuel duty on households and businesses, with decisions on rates made at fiscal events. |

Defence: Industry
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Friday 7th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how his Department plans to measure the impact of the UK Offset Policy proposed in the Defence Industrial Strategy. Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) As part of the Defence Industrial Strategy's commitment to backing British businesses, we launched a public consultation on a possible UK offset policy on 23 October. The consultation seeks input on key principles for implementation. It is essential that any offset policy is explored and developed in partnership with the defence sector so we should not pre-empt the outcome of this consultation. The Defence Industrial Strategy sets out the metrics for 'Backing UK Based Business' policies, effective monitoring and evaluation will be essential to our implementation plan. |

Regional Planning and Development: South West
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Tuesday 4th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department plans to allocate funding to support the Great South West Partnership from April 2026. Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Following a four week public consultation, in March 2025 the government announced its intention to end funding for Pan-Regional Partnerships, with an exceptional, time-limited award of £281,250 for the Great South West Pan-Regional Partnership for the 2025/26 financial year.
Pan-Regional Partnerships, including the Great South West, have made a valuable contribution, supporting collaboration between local authorities and government and taking forward a breadth of work on shared growth opportunities. However, as our English Devolution White Paper sets out, we are now moving to a different model of regional collaboration, where we are keen to support new models driven by local leaders. |

Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government has not commissioned any research on the reproductive health outcomes or long-term health effects of the occupational exposure of nursing staff to hazardous medicinal products. No assessment has been made of the cost to the National Health Service of sickness absence related to this. Sickness absence is managed at an organisational level across the NHS. NHS organisations have their own policies and procedures in place to manage and reduce sickness absence, including any reasonable adjustments to allow people to return to work and/or prevent future absence. It is important that employers across the NHS take a preventative and proactive approach to supporting their staff and keeping them healthy. |
