Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the proposed reform of Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency statutory fees on investment in the UK market by medical technology companies in the (a) short and (b) long term.

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

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulates medicines, medical devices, and blood components for transfusion in the United Kingdom.

Most of the MHRA’s income comes from charging fees for its services. Its fees are set to recover the full cost of delivering the respective services. This is in compliance with the HM Treasury guidance, Managing Public Money.

The MHRA aims to update its fees every two years, so that it can continue to recover its costs. This ensures the agency’s continued financial sustainability, and the ongoing delivery of its services.

The MHRA has recently consulted on its current fee uplift. The consultation has now closed, and they are analysing the responses. The Government response to the consultation should be published in the new year.

By ensuring that the MHRA is fully recovering costs, it is in a better position to deliver the level of service that industry, patients, and the public want and expect. The fees uplift is not expected to adversely impact the UK favourability in the short- or the long-term. Regular fee increases are standard practice across all regulators.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of proposals to end funding of IsaPD.

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

We have made no such assessment. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations on whether new medicines should be routinely funded by the National Health Service based on an assessment of their costs and benefits.

The NICE is currently updating its existing guidance on the use of isatuximab with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for treating relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, following a period of managed access via the Cancer Drugs Fund.

The NICE was unable to recommend isatuximab with pomalidomide and dexamethasone as a clinically and cost-effective use of NHS resources in its final draft guidance published on 20 June. The NICE received two appeals against its draft recommendation which were heard by an independent panel. The panel has upheld the appeal on some grounds and the NICE’s appraisal committee will meet to consider the appeal panel’s findings.

Any changes to the NICE’s recommendations for isatuximab with pomalidomide and dexamethasone are not intended to affect people who started treatment during the period of managed access, who will continue to have access to isatuximab with pomalidomide and dexamethasone until they and their clinician consider it appropriate to stop.

It is right that the NICE makes its decisions at arm’s length of the Government and in line with its carefully developed methods and processes. As such, it would not be appropriate for the Department to intervene in the NICE’s decision-making.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions he has had with the Northern Ireland executive on gambling laws.

Answered by Hilary Benn - Secretary of State for Northern Ireland

Gambling policy is devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive. It is for the Northern Ireland Department of Communities to consider any changes to gambling laws.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have been diagnosed with X-linked hypophosphatemia in the last two years.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Department does not hold the data requested. The Government is committed to improving the lives of those living with rare diseases, such as X-linked hypophosphatemia. The UK Rare Diseases Framework sets out four priorities collaboratively developed with the rare disease community; these include better coordination of care and improving access to specialist care, treatments, and drugs. We remain committed to delivering under the Framework and will publish an annual action plan for England in 2025.

Understanding patient data will facilitate access to treatments and care for patients. The National Congenital Anomaly and Rare Disease Registration Service (NCARDRS) collects data on people with rare diseases. In the 2023 action plan we committed under action 22 to improving the ‘findability’ of people living with rare diseases using the National Disease Registration Service. NCARDRS collects data from a variety of sources to support rare disease registration, including from eight highly specialised services currently to support rare disease registration. Discussions are underway with other highly specialised services to establish dataflows.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been convicted of online fraud in the last 12 months.

Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

The Ministry of Justice publishes data on convictions for a wide range of offences, including fraud up to and including June 2024 in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics - GOV.UK.

However, data held centrally does not include if the fraud offence involved online activity. This information may be held in the court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.

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 with Cabinet colleagues to help encourage people to have healthy diets.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

Supporting people to stay healthier for longer is at the heart of this government’s Health Mission. Government advice on a healthy, balanced diet is encapsulated in the United Kingdom’s national food model, the Eatwell Guide. The Eatwell Guide depicts a healthy, balanced diet that is based on fruit, vegetables and higher fibre starchy carbohydrates. The Eatwell Guide principles are promoted through the NHS.uk website and the Government’s social marketing campaign, Better Health, including Healthier Families and Start for Life. The guide is available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-eatwell-guide

The Healthy Start scheme was introduced in 2006 to encourage a healthy diet for pregnant women, babies, and young children under four from very low-income households. It can be used to buy, or put towards the cost of, fruit, vegetables, pulses, milk, and infant formula. Healthy Start beneficiaries have access to free Healthy Start Vitamins for pregnant women and children aged under four. In October 2024, Healthy Start supported over 353,000 beneficiaries; this figure is higher than the previous paper voucher scheme.

The School Fruit and Vegetable scheme provides children in Key Stage 1 at state-funded primary schools with a free portion of fruit or vegetable every school day, to help to encourage healthier eating.

The Government is also committed to implementing the advertising restrictions for less healthy food and drink on TV and online, bringing forward the necessary secondary legislation to deliver our commitment to ban the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children under 16 years old, and limiting school children’s access to fast food. Further action under the Government’s Health Mission will be set out in due course.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure Integrated Care Systems are resourced to provide medicines for (a) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and (b) other life-threatening respiratory diseases.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

As part of the 2024 Autumn Budget, the Government has allocated the National Health Service an extra £25.7 billion over this year and the next.

Medicines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory diseases are commissioned by local NHS integrated care boards, who are responsible for developing commissioning policies in line with national guidance.

NHS England has established 13 Respiratory Clinical Networks across the country. These have been vital in providing clinical leadership for respiratory services and supporting services in primary care.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to develop a respiratory action plan to support patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The 10-Year Health Plan will consider the change needed to meet the three Health Mission goals, those being: a fairer system where everyone lives well for longer; a National Health Service that is there when people need it; and fewer lives lost to the biggest killers.

We will carefully be considering policies with input from the public, patients, health staff, and our stakeholders as we develop the plan.

NHS England is leading on the development of an approach for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease management, to proactively manage rising risk patients in winter, to reduce demand on primary and secondary care. This includes the identification of rising risk patients, optimisation of care, support and management through remote monitoring and a greater focus on self-management and education, and access to strengthened support in the community.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has had discussions with mortgage providers on the availability of fixed term mortgages to first time buyers.

Answered by Tulip Siddiq - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Government is regularly in contact with mortgage lenders on all aspects of their business, including the provision of finance to first time buyers.

This Government will turn the dream of owning a home into a reality by fixing the planning system and building 1.5 million more homes, as well as helping buyers who are struggling to save for a large deposit by introducing a permanent Mortgage Guarantee Scheme.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions he has had with the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland on changes in the level of rural crime in Northern Ireland.

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

There is regular engagement with the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland on a range of issues and we will explore opportunities to discuss this shared challenge and options for future collaboration.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department issues on inviting people sanctioned by foreign Governments to the UK.

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

The Immigration Rules provide for the refusal of entry clearance, permission to enter and permission to stay on general grounds, regardless of the category in which an individual makes an application.

A person will usually be refused on general grounds if there is any evidence in their background, immigration history, criminal records or past behaviour which shows that they should not be allowed to enter or stay in the UK.

Guidance is published on Gov.UK.

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make a comparative assessment of (a) the UK's regulatory system and (b) those of international comparators.

Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Government is committed to delivering a regulatory system that addresses market failures, creates economic certainty, and drives innovation to stimulate growth while protecting consumers and businesses. As part of this, HMG regularly makes comparative assessments of the UK's regulatory system and those of international comparators.

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an estimate of the number of (a) onshore and (b) offshore windfarms in the UK.

Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

At the end of 2023 there were (a) 9,627 onshore and (b) 48 offshore wind sites in the UK.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of local authorities charging homeowners to dispose of garden waste.

Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Local authorities have had the option to charge for a garden waste collection since 1992, as per the Controlled Waste (England & Wales) Regulations [2012]. As stated in our most recently published Final Impact Assessment for Simpler Recycling, around 65% of local authorities charged for garden waste collections in 2018/19.

In 2021, the Government consulted on introducing free garden waste collections for all households in England. We explored the impact of this policy in our Final Impact Assessment which included evidence that the average garden waste yield for local authorities who provide a charged service is lower when compared to yields associated with a free service. However, the impact assessment identified that overall, there was not a sufficient economic or environmental case to require local authorities to offer a free garden waste collection service.

Officials are working with WRAP to develop guidance on what is a reasonable charge for garden waste collection and will continue to review the evidence on uptake on garden waste services.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he has had discussions with Northern Ireland Water on water quality in Northern Ireland.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Water is a devolved policy area and so engagement with Northern Ireland Water is a matter for Northern Ireland's Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to help ensure cyber security and resilience in (a) schools, (b) academies and (c) other educational establishments.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.

Whilst education institutions are responsible for their own IT, the department supports schools, colleges and other education institutions to enhance their cyber resilience through various initiatives.

The department has published a set of 11 core digital and technology standards. These can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/meeting-digital-and-technology-standards-in-schools-and-colleges/cyber-security-standards-for-schools-and-colleges. Developed by technical and educational experts, these standards provide guidance on the essential technology and infrastructure required to meet both business and teaching needs. The standards cover key areas, including connectivity, cyber security, filtering and monitoring, cloud services, servers and storage, digital accessibility, leadership and governance and devices.

Adhering to these cyber security standards helps schools and colleges mitigate the risk of cyber-attacks and minimise disruption in the event of a cyber incident. Additionally, compliance ensures sensitive data is securely protected and critical data is backed up effectively.

The department has a dedicated sector cyber security team that provides appropriate advice and guidance to help schools and colleges meet these standards and maintain robust cyber security practices.

Further support is available through the department’s Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA), which has included cyber incident cover as a standard benefit since the 2022/23 membership year. RPA members have access to a 24/7 Incident Response Service in the event of a cyber incident, with 56% of schools in England currently participating in the RPA.

The department also collaborates with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Jisc and other organisations to further support educational institutions. This includes providing access to the NCSC’s Protective DNS (PDNS) service, part of its Active Cyber Defence suite, which offers ongoing protection against malware and other network-based threats for schools, colleges and universities.

Further guidance on cyber security for schools can be found here: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/education-skills/cyber-security-schools.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will suspend all visits from (a) Chinese and (b) Hong Kong officials whilst hon. Members are sanctioned by the Chinese Government.

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

China's retaliatory sanctions, including against Parliamentarians, are unwarranted and unacceptable. They are incomparable to the sanctions announced by the UK in 2021, which were based on compelling and widespread evidence of serious and systematic human rights violations in Xinjiang. This Government consistently raises the issue of UK Parliamentarians sanctioned by China. The Foreign Secretary has called on China to lift its sanctions including against Parliamentarians at every meeting he has had with his counterpart.

The Government believes that it should engage with China where there are clear UK and global interests. There are currently no plans to suspend all visits from Chinese and Hong Kong officials in relation to sanctions against Parliamentarians.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of reported clashes between Chinese and Philippine patrol vessels.

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

In the South China Sea, we are committed to international law, the primacy of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and to freedom of navigation and overflight. We oppose any action that raises tensions or the risk of miscalculation and take no sides in the sovereignty disputes. We encourage all parties to settle their disputes peacefully through the existing legal mechanisms, particularly UNCLOS. During the Foreign Secretary's recent visit to China, he raised the importance of sustained dialogue on issues of mutual concern, and the UK's interests in regional peace and stability.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will make it his policy to call for the immediate release of Jimmy Lai from solitary confinement.

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

British national Jimmy Lai's case is a priority for the UK Government, and we are closely monitoring his trial. The Foreign Secretary has been consistent in raising Jimmy Lai's case with counterparts in the Chinese Government, including during his meeting with China's Foreign Minister in Beijing on 18 October. The Minister for Indo-Pacific also raised Lai's case with the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities when she visited Hong Kong on 14-15 November.

The UK Government has consistently called for Jimmy Lai's release and raised concerns about his case directly with the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities.

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she made with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of ADHD medication shortages on the attendance of young people at school.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.

The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) has been working hard with industry to help resolve supply issues with some attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medicines, which are affecting the United Kingdom and other countries around the world.

As a result of intensive work, some issues have been resolved, and all strengths of lisdexamfetamine, atomoxetine capsules and guanfacine prolonged-release tablets are now available. DHSC is continuing to work to resolve supply issues, where they remain, for methylphenidate prolonged-release tablets. They are engaging with all suppliers to assess the challenges faced and the action taken to address them.

DHSC are also directing suppliers to secure additional stocks, expedite deliveries where possible and review plans to further build capacity to support continued growth in demand for the short and long term. Supplies in the UK are expected to improve throughout the rest of 2024. However, DHSC anticipates supply to be limited for some strengths and we continue to work with all suppliers to ensure the remaining issues are resolved as soon as possible.

Departmental guidance sets clear expectations to schools, trusts and local authorities to provide a ‘support-first’ approach to school attendance. This guidance can be accessed at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66bf300da44f1c4c23e5bd1b/Working_together_to_improve_school_attendance_-_August_2024.pdf.

The department knows that some pupils face more complex barriers to attendance, including pupils who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Their right to an education is the same as any other pupil and therefore the attendance ambition for these pupils should be the same as it is for any other pupil. However, additional support may need to be provided to deliver those ambitions.

For pupils with SEND, schools are expected to work closely with parents to develop tailored support strategies and ensure pupils receive the provisions in their education, health and care plans. This includes implementing strategies to remove in-school barriers, such as considering reasonable adjustments to uniform, routines, lunchtime arrangements and access to support.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to review the funding model for hospices for children and young people as part of the 10-Year Health Plan for the NHS.

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

Most hospices are charitable, independent organisations which receive some statutory funding for providing services within the National Health Service. The amount of funding charitable hospices receive varies by integrated care board (ICB) area, and will, in part, be dependent on the breadth of palliative and end of life care provision within each ICB catchment area.

We have committed to develop a 10-year plan to deliver an NHS fit for the future. We will carefully be considering policies, including those that impact people with palliative and end of life care needs, with input from the public, patients, health staff, and our stakeholders, including those in the hospice sector, as we develop the plan.

The engagement process has been launched, and I would encourage the palliative and end of life care sector, including hospice providers, service users and their families, to engage with that process to allow us to fully understand what is not working as well as it should and what the potential solutions are. More information is available at the following link:

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had recent discussions with his Canadian counterpart on taking steps to help tackle religious hate crimes towards Jewish communities in that country.

Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK and Canada are close partners and friends. The Foreign Secretary and Foreign Minister Joly engage regularly on a wide range of topics. They last spoke on 25 November. I briefly met Minister Joly in the margins of the NATO Foreign Ministers' meeting on 3 December. The UK will continue to work with its partners to tackle all forms of extremism to ensure the safety of our communities. We are clear that incitement of violence or hatred against individuals based on their religion or belief is unacceptable.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of recent tax increases on small and medium businesses.

Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Government inherited a very difficult fiscal situation and so we are asking businesses to contribute to fixing the public finances and our public services.

At the Autumn Budget, the Government announced tax reforms to support smaller businesses. Including, more than doubling the employment allowance to £10,500; committing in the Corporate Tax Roadmap to maintain the Small Profits Rate and marginal relief at their current rates and thresholds, as well as maintaining the Annual Investment Allowance; and freezing the small businesses multiplier for 2025/26. In the transition to permanently lower business rates burden for the high street, through lower multipliers for Retail, hospitality, and leisure (RHL) businesses from April 2026, RHL business rates relief will also be extended for one year at 40% (up to a cash cap of £110,000 per business). If the Government had not acted, the current RHL relief would have ended entirely in April 2025.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the cancellation of the Religious Leaders Forum and Graduation Ceremony for freedom of religion or belief in South Korea.

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

The UK government is committed to defending freedom of religion or belief for all and promoting respect between different religious and non-religious communities. The UK and South Korea share a close partnership. Our Downing Street Accord commits us to such fundamental freedoms. This includes rights and freedoms relating to religion or beliefs, as set out in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights treaty, which ROK has been a member party of since 1990.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to issue guidance on EU visa waivers.

Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

Entry requirements for British nationals travelling to the EU are set out in the FCDO's travel advice pages on gov.uk. The guidance is based on information provided by the EU and its Member States. FCDO travel advice is regularly updated to reflect our latest understanding of these requirements, with links for further information provided within the travelling abroad pages on gov.uk. The new European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) scheme is not a visa, and we continue to discuss its implementation with the European Commission and European Union Member States.

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of cyber safety laws on the use of AI.

Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

Artificial Intelligence is a vital technology and is at the heart of the government’s economic growth plans. AI safety has been a vital part of the government’s work since the AI Safety Summit.

DSIT is working to address cyber risks to AI and recently consulted on a Code of Practice setting baseline security requirements for AI systems. This will be the basis of a global standard. DSIT will respond in 2025.

Government has also published a cyber security risk assessment on AI and other related research.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it a legal requirement to state the (a) risks to women's health and (b) potential side effects of egg retrieval on adverts for those services.

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

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), the United Kingdom’s fertility sector regulator, has advised that it sets out strict requirements in its Licence Conditions and Code of Practice relating to the information that must be given before egg retrievals take place in UK licensed fertility clinics, whether for the patient’s own use or to donate to others. This information includes the potential immediate or longer-term health risks to themselves, or the psychological consequences of being a donor.

The HFEA Code of Practice states that advertising should be designed with regard to the sensitive issues involved in recruiting donors, and should follow the Advertising Standards Authority codes. There are no current plans to change the law on this issue.
