Alcoholic Drinks and Drugs: Misuse
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on the proportion of ambulance call-outs that were related to (a) drug and (b) alcohol use in each of the last five years. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) This information is not held centrally. |

Public Sector: Contracts
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will take steps to ensure that companies involved in major (a) governance and (b) accountability failures are subject to enhanced scrutiny before providing critical public services. Answered by Chris Ward - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) Government efficiency, transparency and accountability are key pillars of the Procurement Act 2023 which came into force this year. The Act establishes a new exclusions framework that makes it easier to exclude suppliers who have underperformed in the delivery of other public contracts or acted improperly in procurement. The Act has also created a debarment list which will publicly list suppliers who must or may be excluded from contracts.
The new Central Digital Platform is also improving accessibility to procurement data, ensuring accountability and enabling the public and stakeholders to scrutinise spending decisions and track procurement outcomes. |

General Practitioners: Finance
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Monday 13th October 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 extend funding for advice and guidance services for GPs to other parts of primary care. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department currently has no plans to introduce funding for Advice and Guidance Enhanced Services for community pharmacy, dental practices, or opticians. Most referrals to specialist services come from general practices (GPs), who have a primary role in the management of patient health and care in the community. In 2025/26, the Government introduced the General Practice Advice and Guidance Enhanced Service, which makes provision for GPs to claim a £20 fee for each new advice and guidance request, to recognise the key role they play in delivering on the Government’s commitments to shift care from hospital to community and to return to the 18-week Referral to Treatment constitutional standard by March 2029. |

Firearms: Licensing
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to reduce the cost of the firearms licence application fee. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) Increased firearms licensing fees were introduced on 5 February 2025, enabling full cost recovery for police forces and fulfilling a manifesto commitment. Firearms licensing fees were last updated in 2015 and had fallen significantly below the cost of delivering the service. We will keep the level of fees under close review. |

Friend, the Minister of State for Health gave on 1 September 2025 to Questions 69240, 69241, and 69242. |

Friend, the Minister of State for Health gave on 1 September 2025 to Questions 69240, 69241, and 69242. |

Maternity Services: Negligence
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) 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 he plans to remove parental (a) income and (b) education levels as factors in cases of maternity clinical negligence. Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The rising costs of clinical negligence claims against the National Health Service in England are of great concern to the Government. Costs have more than doubled in the last 10 years and are forecast to continue rising, putting further pressure on NHS finances. As announced in the recently published 10-Year Health Plan for England, David Lock KC will be providing expert policy advice on the rising legal costs and how we can improve patients’ experience of clinical negligence claims, ahead of a review by the Department in the autumn. The results of David Lock’s work will inform future policy making in this area. No decisions on policy have been taken at this point. |

Royal College of Nursing: Pay
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the Royal College of Nursing on pay. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Annual pay awards for staff on Agenda for Change contracts in England, including nurses, are decided by the Government following receipt of recommendations made by the independent NHS Pay Review Body (NHSPRB). The Government accepted the 2025/26 recommendations in full, and in July, the Government asked the NHSPRB to begin the 2026/27 pay round. Relevant stakeholders are invited to submit evidence to the NHSPRB to inform its deliberations. My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has met with the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) on multiple occasions since taking office, as have I, to discuss working conditions for National Health Service staff, including pay, and is always open to talking to unions about how they can work with the Government to support the NHS workforce. Officials continue to engage with the RCN on pay and contractual matters through the NHS Staff Council. |

Aviation: Crew
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Tuesday 14th October 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made a recent assessment of trends in levels of fatigue among pilots flying in UK airspace. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) There are stringent regulations in place to prevent pilot fatigue. The risk of flight crew fatigue is managed under the flight time limitation regulations which limit the number of hours pilots can be on duty. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), as the UK’s independent aviation safety regulator, monitors and oversees UK Airlines’ management of flight time limitation requirements and how these impact pilot fatigue. |
|
Aviation: Crew
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Tuesday 14th October 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an estimate of the number of commercial airline pilots the UK will need to train each year to provide the workforce required (a) at current levels and (b) to meet anticipated levels of future demand. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) As the UK aviation sector operates predominantly in the private sector, it is for individual airlines to recruit and train pilots to meet today’s demand and the demand of the future. I therefore welcome the funded pilot training programmes that British Airways, TUI and Jet2.com have introduced, that will ensure a sustainable pipeline of future pilots. |

Indonesia: Religious Freedom
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Tuesday 14th October 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the attack on a Christian prayer house in Koto Tangah District, Indonesia, in July 2025; and what steps she is taking to help ensure the (a) protection of Christian communities and (b) promotion of religious freedom in that country. Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The Government champions freedom of religion or belief for all abroad, and we continue to engage with Indonesian counterparts on the restriction of those freedoms, including the reported attacks on a Christian prayer house in Koto Tangah District. We welcome the Indonesian Minister for Human Rights' response to the incident, in which he emphasised the importance of religious diversity in Indonesia. The month after the attack, the UK's Human Rights Ambassador, Eleanor Sanders, met the Minister in question to discuss religious freedoms, and also met Civil Society Organisations supporting religious tolerance in Indonesia. We will continue to work with the Indonesian Government and Civil Society partners on these issues. |

Energy: Private Rented Housing
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 17th October 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has made an estimate of the funding required for local authorities to ensure the enforcement of proposed new minimum energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Local authorities are key to enforcement and my department has engaged with them extensively throughout policy development.
Government is already taking steps to empower local authorities, including proposing increasing the maximum fine to £30,000 per-property per-breach, carrying out significant improvements to the Exemptions Register, and introducing a Landlord Database through the Renters’ Rights Bill. These steps will better enable local authorities to identify non-compliant properties in their area and take action to support landlords to comply. |

|
China: USA
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 17th October 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her counterparts in the US on relations with China. Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The UK regularly discusses foreign policy with the US at all levels, including issues relating to China. |

Evictions
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 17th October 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 has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing tenants' protections from eviction after landlords have accessed grants to improve energy efficiency. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The government recently consulted on increasing minimum energy efficiency standards in the domestic private rented sector. The consultation included proposals for rented homes to achieve Energy Performance Certificate C or equivalent by 2030. The consultation closed in May this year and DESNZ are currently reviewing responses ahead of publishing a response.
The government is committed to protecting and improving the rights of tenants. The Renters’ Rights Bill will put in place new regulations to protect tenants. This includes providing stronger protections to ensure that tenants are able to appeal excessive above-market rents, abolishing Section 21 ‘no fault evictions’, and moving to a simpler tenancy structure where all assured tenancies ae periodic. These measures provide more security for tenants and enable them to challenge poor practice and unfair rent increases without fear of eviction.
