Internet: Children
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to address the role of algorithmic recommendation systems in promoting harmful or addictive content, including gambling, to children. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Gambling Commission regulates gambling, including online gambling. Gambling operators advertising in the UK must comply with advertising codes, which ensure that gambling advertising is not targeted at children. When operators fall short, the ASA can take action or refer them to the Gambling Commission for possible enforcement action. We continue to work with a wide range of stakeholders to further strengthen protections. Keeping children safe online is a priority for this government. As outlined in the Online Safety Act, in scope social media companies and search services are required to protect children from harmful content. Ofcom has robust enforcement powers to use should services not comply with their duties. Our children's wellbeing consultation seeks views on how we can go further, including exploring if age-restrictions should be applied to addictive features, such as algorithms. |

Gambling: Children
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what recent assessment she has made of trends in under-18 participation in gambling activities, including via online platforms and apps. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The 2025 Young People in Gambling Survey demonstrated that gambling activity by under-18s increased from 27% to 30% compared with the previous year. This was driven by a 3% increase in unregulated gambling, such as private betting between friends and family, to 18%. |

Gambling: Internet
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to ensure that child protection frameworks keep pace with technological developments in digital platforms and online gambling.

Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the role of AI chatbots in promoting or directing children to illegal online gambling. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) We take the issue of children being directed to illegal gambling sites very seriously. AI chatbots covered by the Online Safety Act must protect all users from illegal content. We continue to work with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure these rules keep pace with technology and will not hesitate to go further if there is evidence to do so. More broadly, the Government is committed to tackling illegal gambling through the Illegal Gambling Taskforce. We will therefore consider examples of chatbots promoting illegal sites to children, in conjunction with other issues, when deciding on the best next steps to increase protections against illegal gambling. |

Civil Servants: Workplace Pensions
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Tuesday 21st April 2026 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that adequate levels of customer service are maintained by MyCSP during the transfer of the Civil Service Pension Scheme administration to Capita. Answered by Satvir Kaur - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) The Cabinet Office awarded the contract to administer the Civil Service Pension Scheme to Capita in November 2023 under the previous government.
The issues and delays facing a number of civil servants and pension scheme members in receiving their pension quotes are unacceptable. I want to reassure you that this Government has taken firm action to help put things right as soon as possible. We have agreed a clear recovery plan with Capita, which includes specific milestones and accountability targets for delivery. For priority cases, we have deployed additional resources and improved communication with affected colleagues, so that staff, both former and serving, receive the quality of service and support they deserve.
Existing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been enhanced and strengthened to deliver improved performance and higher penalties for failure, including financial penalties. These have already applied in respect to Capita's performance with recent issues and delays in administering the Civil Service Pension Scheme. Capita prioritised the most urgent cases and by the end of February, all death in service cases were either settled or progressed to the final stage or awaiting a member response. The same position was reached for ill health retirement applications by mid-March.
Capita has made lump sum payments to 8,747 members, the majority of whom have retired but are not yet receiving their pension, and are on track to bring these members into regular pension payments by the end of April.
To provide immediate financial support to those who may need it, arrangements are in place for interest-free bridging loans typically up to £5,000 or £10,000 in exceptional cases to most recent retirees facing payment delays. This is alongside interim lump sum payments being made to provide immediate funds to retiring members. The pension scheme continues to make monthly pension payments to approximately 730,000 existing pensioner members on time.

Apprentices
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Thursday 23rd April 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many starts there have been on each foundation apprenticeship standard since their launch in August 2025; and what assessment he made of the adequacy of that performance before announcing the expansion of foundation apprenticeships into hospitality and retail. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) In August 2025 we introduced foundation apprenticeships to give young people a route into careers in critical sectors, such as construction and health and social care, enabling them to earn a wage while developing vital skills. Foundation apprenticeships are designed to support those young people who want to gain a broad grounding in a sector before they commit to progress into a more specific or more advanced occupation. As foundation apprenticeships are a new offer we understand providers and employers will need time to incorporate them into their businesses. In addition, other apprenticeships continue to support young people to gain the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for a specific occupation. Apprenticeship and foundation apprenticeship starts are published here: Apprenticeships, Academic year 2025/26 - Explore education statistics - GOV.UK. The latest published data shows that there have been 110 foundation apprenticeship starts so far this academic year (Aug 2025 - Jan 2026). To create more opportunities for young people at the start of their careers, we are expanding foundation apprenticeships into hospitality and retail from April 2026. These sectors traditionally employ large numbers of young people and offer strong entry points into sustained employment with clear progression routes across England. They will have employer payments of up to £2,000 employer payment to support with the additional costs of taking on and supporting a young person at the start of their career. |

Disabled Students' Allowances: Assistive Technology
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to page 11 of her Department's consultation document entitled Assistive software funded through Disabled Students’ Allowance, published on 26 March 2026, what evidence supports the proposed policy position that assistive software is readily available to students; what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the accessibility and suitability of commonly available software for students with different disabilities; and if she will set out how it will be determined that a student’s disability-related needs cannot be met by assistive software before specialist provision is funded. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The anecdotal feedback referenced in the consultation document reflects issues raised through routine engagement activities, including meetings and discussions with delivery partners, sector bodies and other stakeholders. It would not be appropriate to identify individual contributors, and no quantified count of cases has been compiled. No assessment has yet been made of the extent to which students feel overwhelmed by the volume of recommended support because the department is currently gathering the evidence that would be required to support such an assessment. The rationale underpinning the proposed policy position that assistive software is widely available is explained in the consultation document, which is available here: https://consult.education.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowance-team/assistive-software-funded-through-disabled-student/supporting_documents/assistive_software_funded_through_dsa_consultation_march_2026pdf. It also sets out proposals relating to considerations around the accessibility and suitability of commonly available software for students with different disabilities. Decisions on how it would be determined that a student’s disability-related needs cannot be met by such software before specialist provision is funded would be made following the conclusion of the consultation process. An initial equality impact assessment of the proposed changes is included in the consultation document, and the department intends to develop and refine this further as the consultation progresses.

Lipoedema: Health Services
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Thursday 21st May 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 improve NHS diagnosis and treatment pathways for lipoedema. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The refreshed Women’s Health Strategy will play a central role in improving outcomes for women living with long‑term conditions like lipoedema by addressing the systemic barriers that have historically contributed to delayed diagnosis, variability in care, and poorer health experiences. In the National Health Service, lipoedema is often treated within lymphoedema services. This is because the care and support offered by lymphoedema services closely match what most people with lipoedema need. These services provide the core conservative treatments for both conditions, including compression therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, skin care, movement and exercise support, and self‑management advice. These approaches are central to the management of lipoedema and are already well‑established within lymphoedema teams. We recognise the need to improve awareness and understanding of lipoedema. To support earlier, more accurate diagnosis, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has worked in partnership with Lipoedema UK to develop a dedicated e‑learning module for general practitioners, covering the presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of lipoedema in primary care. This resource is freely available to RCGP members. Access to specialist assessment and treatment for lipoedema is commissioned locally by integrated care boards, which are best placed to understand local population need. Treatment options may include compression therapy, simple lymphatic drainage, self‑management support and, in severe cases, consideration of liposuction in line with interventional procedures guidance published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Clinicians may offer treatment where appropriate, using their professional judgment and taking advice published by NICE into account. |

Health Services: Disability
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Friday 22nd May 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 has taken to implement the NHS Accessible Information Standard effectively. Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Since 2016, all National Health Service organisations and publicly funded social care providers have been expected to meet the Accessible Information Standard (AIS), which details the approach to supporting the information and communication support needs of people with a disability, impairment, or sensory loss. NHS England is working to support implementation of the AIS with awareness raising, communication, and engagement. The intention is to ensure that staff and organisations in the NHS are aware of the AIS and the importance of meeting the information and communication needs of disabled people using services. NHS England published a revised AIS on 30 June 2025 to help ensure that the communication needs of people with a disability, impairment, or sensory loss are met in health and care provision. This guidance document is available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/accessible-information-standard/ A self-assessment framework has been developed to support providers of NHS and social care services to measure their performance against the AIS, and develop improvement action plans to address gaps in implementation, with further information available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/accessible-information-standard-self-assessment-framework/ The AIS conformance criteria published in 2016 and revised in 2025 set out what organisations need to do to meet the AIS, as the responsibility for monitoring compliance with the AIS sits with the commissioner of the service. Further information is available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/accessible-information-standard-requirements-dapb1605/ The Care Quality Commission does not assure the AIS but takes the AIS into account when regulating health and social care services, considering whether people using services have accessible communications, in line with the relevant regulations, as set out in their assessment framework. |

Lipoedema: Medical Treatments
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of surgery and GLP-1 medication as treatments for Lipoedema. Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department has not made any assessment of the potential role of GLP-1 medications in reducing inflammation and pain associated with lipoedema. Newly licensed medicines are appraised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which is the independent body responsible for developing evidence-based guidance for the National Health Service on which new medicines represent a clinically and cost-effective use of resources. NICE only makes recommendations on medicines within their licensed indications, and there is no GLP1 inhibitor with a United Kingdom marketing authorisation for use in the treatment of lipoedema. If a manufacturer applies for a UK marketing authorisation it may then be considered for evaluation by NICE. In the absence of NICE guidance, clinicians are able to prescribe a medicine if they consider it appropriate for their patients, subject to funding being available. NHS commissioners are expected to make funding decisions based on an assessment of the available evidence. NICE HealthTech guidance recommends that liposuction, a surgical procedure, for chronic lipoedema should only be used in research, as evidence on its safety and efficacy is inadequate. NICE will review the guidance when results from the LIPLEG trial in Germany are published. |

Motability
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of calculating Motability mileage on an individualised basis, taking into account needs as assessed in Social Care and Support Plans. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Responsibility for the terms and administration of the Scheme sits with Motability Foundation and its Board of Governors.
The changes to the leasing package were announced on 26 March and include reducing the mileage allowance from 20,000 per year to 10,000 per year. Changes only apply to new leases and there are no changes to the mileage allowance of existing leases. Motability Foundation have advised that approximately 75% of customers on the Scheme already use fewer miles than the proposed new mileage allowance. They have acknowledged that there will be an impact on some customers and are considering if the impact can be mitigated in some limited circumstances. |
