Animal Experiments
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Wednesday 2nd April 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will make it his policy to make £20 million available each year to fund research into alternatives for animal testing. Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Labour Manifesto includes a commitment to “partner with scientists, industry, and civil society as we work towards the phasing out of animal testing”, which is a long-term goal. The government will publish a strategy to support the development, validation and uptake of alternative methods later this year. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology are considering funding into alternatives for animal testing as part of the Spending Review, and cannot commit funding amounts in advance of this process. |

Carer's Allowance
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Wednesday 9th April 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of changes to the eligibility criteria for carers allowance on local authority care services. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) From 7 April 2025 the weekly earnings limit in Carer's Allowance increased to £196 net earnings, the largest cash increase ever. All things being equal, the earnings rule change will result in more people being entitled to Carer’s Allowance. There are no other planned changes to the entitlement conditions. Local authorities are responsible for their own "care service" arrangements and these may differ between authorities. In our recent Pathways to Work Green Paper we announced a broad package of reforms to the health and disability benefit and support system, including changes to Personal Independence Payment. For those who are affected by the new eligibility changes, including for linked entitlements such as Carer’s Allowance, we are consulting on how best to support this group, including how to make sure health and eligible care needs are met. |

Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Tuesday 8th April 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of making access to work schemes the responsibility of employers on small and medium-sized businesses. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) As outlined in the Pathways to Work Green Paper published on 18 March, we need to get the balance right between supporting employers to understand and provide reasonable adjustments as part of their legal duties, and interventions that go beyond this this to enable employment. There are no plans to require employers to provide measures beyond a reasonable adjustment.
We will assess any new intervention through evaluation, ensuring its impact and value for money. |

Personal Independence Payment
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Tuesday 8th April 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department plans to introduce a substantial risk element into the PIP assessment process. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) In our Green Paper, Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working, we announced our plans to scrap the Work Capability Assessment and use the single Personal Independence Payment assessment to assess entitlement for the Universal Credit health element. We are considering how change of this kind could affect individuals who currently meet limited capability for work and work-related activity criteria due to non-functional special circumstances; including those currently classed as having substantial risk.
We also announced plans to launch a process to review the PIP assessment. We will bring together a range of experts, stakeholders and people with lived experience to consider how best to do this and to start the process as part of preparing for a review. Any changes to the PIP assessment will need to work alongside the reforms set out in the Green Paper. |

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) As outlined in the Pathways to Work Green Paper published on 18 March, we need to get the balance right between supporting employers to understand and provide reasonable adjustments as part of their legal duties, and interventions that go beyond this this to enable employment. There are no plans to require employers to provide measures beyond a reasonable adjustment.

Energy: Infrastructure
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Wednesday 9th April 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether communities affected by (a) community-run and (b) centrally-led energy infrastructure development will receive (i) energy bill discounts and (ii) other compensation. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) In the Clean Power Action Plan, we made clear that where communities host clean energy infrastructure, they should feel tangible and enduring benefit of doing so. We are exploring options in this area, including community funds and shared ownership.
The Government has already announced bill discounts for communities living nearest to new electricity transmission infrastructure, and published guidance on community funds for electricity transmission infrastructure.
The Government intends to publish community benefit guidance for onshore wind in England, and Solar Energy UK has also committed to publishing further guidance. |

Regional Energy Strategic Plans (RESPs) will undertake spatial planning at a more local level. |

Community Energy
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Wednesday 9th April 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help ensure that the land use framework encourages community energy projects. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) My Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State has regular discussions with Ministerial Colleagues on a number of issues.
The Government is currently consulting on the Land Use Framework, which aims to use the most sophisticated land use data ever published, to provide the principles, advanced data, and tools to support decision-making by stakeholders to make the most of our land. Views are currently being sought in the public consultation, which closes on 25 April.
The previous Government consulted on the barriers to community energy through a Call for Evidence and published a response to this Call for Evidence on 21 March. The evidence is being used to inform potential changes that could be put in place to overcome these barriers. The Government is committed to growing community energy and supporting its important role in the energy transition. |

Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Local power generation is an essential part of the UK’s energy generation and increasing support from Great British Energy will ensure that local communities benefit as the UK supercharges its mission to become a clean energy superpower.
We recently announced that Community Energy Groups will be able to access a share of £5 million in grant funding through the Great British Energy Community Fund to help communities develop their own clean energy projects.
Great British Energy will also work closely with Community Energy Groups, providing commercial, technical, and project-planning assistance to increase their capability and capacity to build a pipeline of successful projects in their local areas. |

Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Thursday 24th April 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 7 April 2025 to Question 43737, if she will share the minutes of those meetings with the hon. Member for Horsham and the Child Trust Fund campaign. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Engagement with The Investment and Savings Alliance (TISA) was via an exchange of emails so there are no meeting minutes. The exchanges sought any feedback provided to Child Trust Fund providers by parents or carers about: (i) signposting by TISA to the parent and carers toolkit published by the Ministry of Justice in 2023; and (ii) the additional information sent by providers to account holders since February 2024 with the mandatory account statement at age 16. This provides information about mental capacity and the possible need for a parent or carer to make an application to the Court of Protection. No data was available. An informal meeting took place with UK Finance in April 2025 to explore whether any data was available in relation to Child Trust Fund withdrawals and the process used. No formal minutes were produced but the note taken by officials records that no data was available.

Employment: Vetting
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Tuesday 29th April 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of amending the filtering criteria for DBS checks to automatically exclude sentences of 12 months or under on levels of employment of people with criminal records. Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury The criminal records regime seeks to strike a balance between providing employers with the information they need to make safer recruitment decisions and enabling ex-offenders to rebuild their lives. We are carefully reviewing the evidence in this area before we consider whether adjustments to the regime are necessary or desirable. In the meantime, we are working hard to support employment of prison leavers. In January, we launched regional Employment Councils, which for the first time bring businesses together with prisons, probation and the Department for Work and Pensions to support offenders into jobs. |
