Written Answers
Food: Imports
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans he has to ensure that food producers are not undercut by imports produced to lower standards.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government shares the public’s high regard for the UK’s environmental protections, food standards and animal welfare. We recognise farmers’ concerns about imports produced using methods not permitted in the UK. We have been clear that we will use our Trade Strategy to promote the highest food production standards. We will protect farmers from being undercut by low welfare and low standards in trade deals.

Livestock: Information
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans he has to help improve the (a) recording and (b) traceability of farm animals through the Livestock Information Service.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government’s ambition is to achieve a comprehensive, multispecies Livestock Information Service, allowing disease to be identified and controlled more effectively, helping to meet our key priority of supporting farmers to boost our food security.

Through its Livestock Information Transformation Programme (LITP), Defra will replace existing livestock traceability systems across England, enhancing digitisation of livestock movement reporting, reducing paper use, and introducing electronic cattle tagging by 2027. It will deliver near real-time, accurate data to improve traceability, accelerate disease response, and better protect public and animal health.

We are working with the devolved Governments to ensure that similar changes being made in Scotland and Wales work together effectively across Great Britain.

Animals: Disease Control
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the (a) capacity and (b) capability of the Animal and Plant Health Agency to respond to a major outbreak of exotic animal disease.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) leads Government action on animal disease control and has outbreak response plans in place. These include measures to contract companies to support eradication and cover such matters as the deployment of non-Government vets and experts in culling and disposal. APHA also work closely with other agencies from within the Defra group to provide additional capacity.

Response capabilities are kept under regular review and appropriate action initiated where additional operational support is required, including the potential to make a request for assistance under the military aid to the civil authorities (MACA) process.

Additionally, to safeguard and enhance the internationally recognised position of the APHA Weybridge laboratory as a hub of scientific excellence for high-risk animal diseases, £208 million of funding for the next stage of the laboratory’s redevelopment up to 2026 has been approved.

Veterinary Services
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has considered introducing a centrally-funded veterinary surveillance scheme to support early detection of animal disease.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Our existing animal health surveillance arrangements are robust and we monitor for new and emerging threats to our biosecurity through our Veterinary Risk Group (VRG) and the Human and Animal Infections Risk Surveillance (HAIRS) Group. We are not considering a new centrally funded veterinary surveillance scheme at this time, outside of those for specific diseases where reasons for government intervention have been identified. However, the scope of our veterinary surveillance schemes are kept under regular review by the United Kingdom Surveillance Forum (UKSF)

Keepers, vets in practice and farmers have a crucial role in surveillance as the 'eyes and ears' of animal health and welfare, investigating herd and flock health and production problems on a daily basis across the country. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) leads government action on animal disease. In addition to APHA’s work to monitor and respond to reports of notifiable disease in animals, APHA offers services to vets and animal keepers on behalf of Defra through a national network of Veterinary Investigation Centres (VICs), which can provide diagnostic tests, post-mortem examinations and advice from their resident veterinary investigation officers and through surveillance pathology partners, independent institutions which also offer subsidised post-mortem examinations.

Agriculture: Veterinary Services
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to help increase the number of veterinary professionals in the farming sector; and what plans he has to reform the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 to enable more use of paraprofessionals.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Defra is exploring various avenues to improve the short- and long-term capacity issues in the veterinary sector. We have engagement with the veterinary profession and other relevant stakeholders, including veterinary schools and government organisations to work together to find sustainable solutions, ensuring the ongoing provision of high-quality veterinary surgeons both in the private and public sectors.

The Government is also engaged with the veterinary profession and stakeholders to review opportunities for reform of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 (VSA), including the role of allied professionals.

Hong Kong: Judiciary
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Wednesday 11th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has considered bringing forward legislative proposals that are similar to the Hong Kong Judicial Sanctions Act.

Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK has called for the Beijing-imposed National Security Law in Hong Kong to be repealed and for an end to the prosecution of all individuals charged under it.

It is not appropriate to speculate on future legislative proposals or potential future sanctions, as to do so could reduce their impact, but we keep our sanctions powers, regimes, designations and measures under review.

Question to the Department for Transport:

There have been no discussions on the potential impact of the proposed new Chinese embassy on traffic disruption. Responsibility for managing London's road network is shared between Transport for London, National Highways, and the 32 London boroughs, plus the City of London. These bodies are responsible for considering traffic impacts on their roads.

Wednesday 11th June 2025

Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

As the Foreign Secretary said in the latest 6-monthly Report, this Government remains steadfast in our commitment to the British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) visa route. The UK provides a welcoming home to Hong Kongers today and it will continue to do so for Hong Kongers tomorrow.

Further details of all measures announced in the Immigration White Paper will be set out in the normal way in due course, and where necessary, will be subject to consultation. As with all matters, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is in close communication with the Home Office on how best to deliver the Government's objectives.

British National (Overseas): Employment and Cost of Living
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Thursday 12th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has had discussions with their counterparts in the Department for Education on implementation of the recommendations of the report by British Future entitled Working it Out: Hong Kongers, Employment and the Cost of Living, published on 29 October 2024.

Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

As the Foreign Secretary said in the latest 6-monthly Report, this Government will continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, strengthening the thick web of connections between our societies and remaining steadfast in commitment to the BN(O) visa route. The UK provides a welcoming home to Hong Kongers today and it will continue to do so for Hong Kongers tomorrow. Government Departments continue to work together in support of that objective. The BN(O) Welcome Programme continues to provide support to Hong Kongers in the UK, including through a network of 12 Welcome Hubs helping BN(O)s understand and connect to services in their local area.

Chinese Embassy
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Thursday 12th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has made a human rights risk assessment on the (a) diplomatic privileges and (b) surveillance capabilities at the proposed Chinese Embassy site in Royal Mint Court.

Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

National security is the first duty of Government. It has been our core priority throughout this process. We continually assess potential threats in the UK, and take protection of individuals' rights, freedoms, and safety very seriously. As part of this, the Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary submitted a letter to the Planning Inspector to make clear that for China to be permitted to build the new embassy, the UK government will need to see the implementation of suitable national security mitigations. A final decision on this case will be made in due course by Ministers in the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government. It would not be appropriate to comment on any specific issues.

Parking: Audit
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)

We are progressing with plans to protect and support all motorists. We will be launching a consultation in due course to help us further understand the potential impacts of the Code and its accompanying enforcement framework, including our approach to scrutiny and oversight.

Hong Kong: China
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Thursday 12th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will issue an apology for the lack of (a) referendum and (b) recognition of the right to self-determination for Hong Kong residents prior to the handover of Hong Kong to China.

Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration committed China to preserve Hong Kong's way of life for a period of at least 50 years. Since 2021, the UK has considered China to be in a state of ongoing non-compliance with the Joint Declaration.

As a co-signatory of the Joint Declaration, the UK will continue to stand up for the people of Hong Kong, to call out the violation of their freedoms, and to hold China to its international obligations.

The UK has demonstrated its historic and moral commitment to Hong Kongers who have chosen to retain their ties to the UK through the bespoke visa route for British National (Overseas) status holders and their families.

The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is introducing new duties for mainstream state schools and local authorities to co-operate regarding school admissions and for state schools to co-operate with local authorities regarding place planning. Where co-operation breaks down or fails, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education will be able to intervene. This measure will help ensure that admissions and place planning decisions account for local communities’ needs.

Local authorities, academy trusts and local partners should work together on place planning. We expect local authorities to share their place planning strategy and data with local partners, which can include neighbouring local authorities.

Local authorities are required to ensure that their scheme to co-ordinate admission arrangements for the normal admissions round considers the admission of pupils in different local authority areas where that is what parents wish. Where possible their scheme of coordination should be compatible with the coordination schemes of neighbouring authorities. Where local authorities receive cross border applications, we expect the authorities to work together to ensure families receive timely decisions on national offer day, at the highest preference school that can offer the child a place.

Accident and Emergency Departments: Nottinghamshire
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Monday 16th June 2025

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 reduce A&E waiting times in Nottinghamshire.

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

The Government recognises that urgent and emergency care performance has fallen short in recent years and is committed to restoring accident and emergency waiting times to the NHS Constitutional standard across England, including in Nottinghamshire.

Our new Urgent and Emergency care plan, published on 6 June, sets out a fundamental shift in the approach to urgent and emergency care. It will drive collaboration across the system to deliver improvements for patients this year, backed by nearly £450 million of capital investment.

The Government’s 10-Year Health Plan will be published later this summer, setting out major National Health Service reforms moving healthcare from hospital to community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention.

Visas: British National (Overseas)
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that individuals prosecuted under the Hong Kong National Security Law are not unfairly excluded from access to the British Nationals (Overseas) visa scheme.

Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities)

The Home Office considers all applications for UK visas on their individual merits. Suitability requirements apply to all routes and must be met in addition to validity and eligibility requirements.

The Immigration Rules part 9: grounds for refusal (Immigration Rules - Immigration Rules part 9: grounds for refusal - Guidance - GOV.UK) has further detail as to when an application for entry clearance, permission to enter or permission to stay must be refused on criminality grounds.

In addition, further information on how overseas convictions and offences not recognised in the UK are considered for applications submitted specifically under the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) route can be found in the published casework guidance - Hong Kong British National (Overseas) route. Guidance for caseworkers provides flexibility to ensure that overseas convictions and offences not recognised in the UK do not result in the automatic refusal of a HK BN(O) route application.

Chinese Embassy: Planning Permission
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions her Department has had with members of the (a) Hong Kong, (b) Uyghur and (c) Tibetan diasporas in the UK on the (i) security, (ii) human rights, (iii) peaceful protest and (iv) transnational repression implications of the proposed Chinese Embassy.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

An appointed Inspector held a public inquiry which heard a range of evidence for and against the proposals in question.

This case is now with the department, and so it would not be appropriate to comment further.

Decisions on planning applications are based on material planning considerations.

Visas: British National (Overseas)
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will relax the 90-day absence rule for British National (Overseas) visa holders for exceptional circumstances for visa holders from Hong Kong.

Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities)

British Nationals (Overseas) who wish to become British citizens can apply for registration under section 4(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981. There is some discretion over the requirement not to have been outside the UK for more than 90 days in the final year of the residential qualifying period. Published guidance sets out when that discretion would normally be exercised.

Embassies
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of use of diplomatic premises in the UK to (a) monitor and (b) intimidate members of diaspora communities; and what safeguards are in place to prevent such activity.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office)

Diplomatic activity in the UK is governed through the principles of the Vienna Conventions which allows for legitimate diplomatic activity. Where we find evidence of any activity that goes beyond what is accredited for, this could invalidate the accreditation, and the UK would take appropriate action.

While it is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on security and intelligence matters, where we identify such threats, we are front footed in deploying protective measures as appropriate.

If individuals think they are a victim of state directed activity, they should report this to police via the established mechanisms 101, 999, or at a local police station.

Visas: British National (Overseas)
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of increasing the qualifying period for settlement under the BNO visa scheme from five years to ten years on those visa holders, in the context of concerns raised by Hong Kong Watch in their letter to the Secretary of State for the Home Department of 12 May 2025.

Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities)

The Government is committed to supporting members of the Hong Kong community who have relocated to the UK and those who may come here in future.

Further details of all measures announced in the Immigration White Paper will be set out in the normal way in due course, and where necessary, will be subject to consultation.

We regularly engage with representatives of the Hong Kong diaspora in the UK on issues related to the BN(O) visa and will continue to do so.

Hospitals: Nottinghamshire
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to reduce hospital backlogs in Nottinghamshire.

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

Tackling waiting lists is a key priority for the Government, including in Nottinghamshire. We have now exceeded our pledge to deliver an additional two million appointments, tests, and operations, having delivered 3.6 million more since July. As announced in the Spending Review, annual National Health Service day-to-day spending will increase by £29 billion in real terms from 2023/24, taking spending to £226 billion by 2028/29.

Waiting lists are expected to reduce significantly over the Spending Review period, as the Government works towards delivery of the Plan for Change commitment that 92% of patients will start consultant-led treatment within 18 weeks of referral by the end of Parliament.

This is supported by record capital investment for health which will help to repair NHS estates, enable productivity improvements, and deliver additional capacity, as well as the Government’s Elective Reform Plan, published in January. The plan includes wide ranging reforms to improve patients’ access to and experience of care, from reducing unnecessary appointments to faster and more local diagnostics.

Community diagnostic centres (CDC) are providing a broad range of elective diagnostics away from acute facilities, reducing pressure on hospitals and giving patients quicker and more convenient access to tests. Both the Nottingham City CDC and the Mansfield CDC are already delivering key diagnostic tests ahead of opening new facilities in 2026.

It is encouraging to see that local systems, including the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, are taking action to make efficiencies and improve productivity, including through their digital workstream and improvements to the estate. We look forward to following progress and seeing real benefits for patients.

Oppression: China
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Tuesday 17th June 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 12 March 2025 to Question 36235 on Oppression: China, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the redevelopment of a Chinese embassy in London on the ability of Hong Kong nationals in the UK to exercise their right to (a) free speech and (b) peaceful protest since 6 March 2025.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office)

The management and safety of demonstrations is an operational matter for the police, and the Metropolitan Police Service have provided their assessment of the potential management of protests outside Royal Mint Court in their submission to the Planning Inquiry.

General Practitioners: Nottinghamshire
Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)
Tuesday 17th June 2025

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 support GPs in Nottinghamshire to spend more time with patients.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government is determined to ensure that general practitioners (GPs) are able to spend more time doing what they do best, spending time with their patients.

That’s why, in October 2024, we invested £82 million into the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme to support the recruitment of 1,700 newly qualified GPs across England, helping to increase appointment availability and improve care for thousands of patients.


We delivered the biggest boost to GP funding in years, an £889 million uplift, with GPs now receiving a growing share of National Health Service resources. We have also announced that over £100 million of funding will be used to unlock new capacity in over 1,000 GP surgeries, which will enable more appointments.

We have launched a Red Tape Challenge, and scrapped unnecessary targets in our new GP Contract, to cut down on bureaucracy and free up time to spend with patients.

Answered by Catherine West - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

As the Foreign Secretary said in the latest 6-monthly Report, this Government remains steadfast in our commitment to the British National (Overseas) visa route. The UK provides a welcoming home to Hong Kongers today and it will continue to do so for Hong Kongers tomorrow.

Further details of all measures announced in the Immigration White Paper will be set out in the normal way in due course, and where necessary, will be subject to consultation.
