Processed Food: Skilled Workers
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Wednesday 17th September 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to include the Skilled Worker Visa occupation code SOC 5433 under the Temporary Shortage Occupation List. Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) On 2 July the Government commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee to review the long term composition of the Temporary Shortage List (TSL). In future, as the Immigration White Paper sets out, for occupations with a skills requirement of RQF 3-5 (below degree level) where there have been long term shortages, we will only permit use of the Points-Based immigration system on a time limited basis where the MAC has advised it is justified, where there is a workforce strategy in place, and where employers seeking to recruit from abroad are committed to playing their part in increasing recruitment from the domestic workforce. Sectors will only be potentially added to the Temporary Shortage list if they are key to the industrial strategy or delivering critical infrastructure and following advice from the MAC. I would encourage you to write to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on workforce matters for the fishing sector. |

Pharmacy
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Thursday 25th September 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many applications for additional pharmacies were declined following a pharmaceutical needs assessment that identified a lack of need in each of the last five years. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Decisions on applications to open a new pharmacy are delegated from NHS England to National Health Service integrated care boards, and the Department does not hold data on how many applications were rejected or the reasons for these rejections. If a pharmaceutical needs assessment (PNA) identifies a lack of need for a new pharmacy in the area, pharmacy contractors can still apply to open a pharmacy to provide benefits to the local communities that were not foreseen in the PNA. |

Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department undertook stress testing in relation to the delivery schedule for the New Hospital Programme Schemes under the New Hospital Programme Review, published on 20 January 2025. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) As set out in the Plan for Implementation, a multi-criteria decision support analysis (MCDA) tool was used to help prioritise schemes to support the development of funding options. Key data, including the criteria for clinical outcomes, deliverability, cost, and the estate conditions from each of the hospitals falling within the scope of the review, was inputted into the tool. The input data and scoring mechanism within the MCDA was reviewed by NHS England and Department colleagues to validate its appropriateness. The Plan for Implementation is available at the following link: As part of the analysis, schemes were prioritised into upper, middle, and lower third scoring, which was then stress tested using the professional expertise and judgment of clinical, programme, construction, and finance colleagues from within the New Hospital Programme (NHP), the Department, and NHS England, to identify and overlay other factors of concern into the final options by reviewing the output of the MCDA and completing a further degree of testing to validate the results. The Information Commissioner’s Office has determined that the Plan for Implementation provides a comprehensive explanation of how the MCDA tool was used in the NHP review.

Armed Forces: Training
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of virtual-reality based training programmes for armed forces personnel. Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) The Defence Systems Approach to Training (DSAT) is the Ministry of Defence’s framework for designing, delivering, and evaluating all training, including that which uses Virtual-Reality (VR). DSAT ensures that training is aligned with needs, is both effective and cost-efficient, and is operationally relevant.
Each of the Services have plans to supplement live training with virtual training environments. The benefits are clear, although the blend varies on a case-by-case basis.
The Royal Navy’s SPARTAN programme aims at modernising and improving the delivery of Royal Navy Collective Training from unit to Joint Battle Staff level through an enhanced Live-Virtual-Constructive simulation approach that incorporates the use of virtual training environments.
The British Army has detailed plans to supplement live training with virtual training environments as part of a balanced and evidence-based approach. This is part of an integrated approach through its Collective Training Transformation Programme (CTTP).
The Royal Air Force (RAF) uses blended live and virtual training as a matter of routine. The RAF’s Gladiator Distributed Synthetic Training Capability is already delivering for Air personnel, and its potential to help integrate across the war-fighting domains is now being pursued.

Special Educational Needs
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Tuesday 14th October 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Children and Families Act 2014 section 37, whether her Department has sought legal advice on the legal right to special educational provision. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) This government’s ambition is that every child or young person receives the best possible educational experience, one that is academically stretching, where every child or young person feels like they belong, and that sets them up for life and work. As part of our Plan for Change, we are determined to fix the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system and restore parents’ trust by ensuring schools have the tools to better identify and support children before issues escalate to crisis point. We will continue to engage with key stakeholders and seek the appropriate legal advice as we look to build a better system which is grounded in evidence, identifies and supports need at the earliest opportunity, and ensures families can secure support swiftly without a fight. There will always be a legal right to the additional support that children with SEND need. |

The Department supports the provision of emergency co-responders in rural and coastal areas through the Community First Responders (CFR) programme, where volunteers are trained by the ambulance service to attend certain types of emergency calls in the area where they live or work. Ambulance trusts are responsible, on an individual basis, for taking decisions on the capacity and support needed to deliver their services in their local areas. |

Armed Forces: Workplace Pensions
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to reduce the time taken to issue Remediable Service Statements to veterans under the Armed Forces Pension Scheme 2015 Remedy; and whether the deadline for non-complex cases remains December 2025. Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) The implementation of the McCloud Pension Remedy is one of the most complex initiatives ever undertaken across Public Sector Pension Schemes, impacting over three million individuals.
Within the Armed Forces Pension Scheme, the scale and technical complexity of delivery have unfortunately led to delays in issuing Remedial Service Statements to some members. The Ministry of Defence acknowledges these challenges and is actively working to overcome them. It remains fully committed to ensuring that all affected members receive their statements as swiftly as possible, with a firm deadline of 31 March 2026.
