Written Answers
Heart Diseases
Asked by: Joshua Reynolds (Liberal Democrat - Maidenhead)
Monday 14th October 2024

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 waiting lists for heart care treatments, in the context of recent statistics published by the British Heart Foundation on trends in the number of premature deaths from heart and circulatory diseases.

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

Tackling waiting lists is a key part of our Health Mission. The waiting list at the end of July stood at 7.62 million patient pathways, with 417,864 incomplete pathways waiting for treatment for cardiology.

We will deliver an extra 40,000 operations, scans, and appointments per week, including in cardiology services, as a First Step in our commitment to ensuring patients can expect to be treated within 18 weeks.

We will be supporting NHS Trusts to deliver these through innovation, sharing best practice to increase productivity and efficiency, and ensuring the best value is delivered.

This government is committed to putting patients first. This means making sure that patients across all specialities, including cardiology, are seen on time and ensuring that people have the best possible experience during their care.

Local Government Finance
Asked by: Joshua Reynolds (Liberal Democrat - Maidenhead)
Monday 21st October 2024

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to help secure the financial sustainability of (a) the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead and (b) all local councils.

Answered by Jim McMahon - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

This Government recognises that council funding has been under pressure since 2010. Any council that has unmanageable pressures and is concerned about its financial position should approach the department.

We will provide councils with more stability and certainty through moving towards multi-year funding settlements and by ending wasteful competitive bidding pots. This will ensure councils can plan their finances for the future properly, delivering better value for money for taxpayers. Future local authority funding decisions will be a matter for the next Spending Review and Local Government Finance Settlement in which we are engaged.

Department officials continue to engage regularly with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead regarding its financial position.

Select Committee Inquiry
31 Oct 2024
Make Work Pay: Employment Rights Bill
Business and Trade Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 6 Dec 2024)


The newly re-formed Business and Trade Committee is launching its first call for evidence on the Government’s new flagship Employment Rights Bill.

The new Government has announced a comprehensive overhaul of employment law in what it is calling the ‘biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.’  The ‘Plan to Make Work Pay’ sets out the Government’s agenda to boost wages, reduce insecure work and grow Britain’s economy. 

The wide-ranging Bill currently passing through Parliament (you can track its progress here) sets out to: 

  • Ban exploitative zero-hours contracts 
  • End ‘Fire and Rehire’ and ‘Fire and Replace’ 
  • Make parental leave, sick pay and protection from unfair dismissal a day one right 
  • Strengthen statutory sick pay 
  • Make flexible working the default from day one 
  • Strengthen protections for pregnant women and new mothers returning to work  
  • Strengthen protections from sexual harassment at work 
  • Strengthen legislation around the allocation of tips 
  • Strengthen protections around collective redundancy 
  • Introduce a new right to bereavement leave 
  • Establish a new Single Enforcement Body, called the Fair Work Agency 
  • Establish Fair Pay Agreements in the adult social care sector 
  • Reinstate the School Support Staff Negotiating Body 
  • Upgrade Trade Union legislation

The Committee is launching this inquiry, which will take written and oral evidence with a view to informing the later stages of the Bill’s passage through Parliament, to help assess whether it will achieve these aims. Areas to consider include: 

  • How the Bill will contribute to the Government’s stated goal of achieving the fastest growth in the G7.
  • Whether the Employment Rights Bill will adequately protect workers, improve security at work and raise living standards in every part of the country.
  • The impact the Bill will have on businesses, in particular investment rates, start-up rates, the supply of labour and the employment rate.
  • How to ensure adequate protection against exporting poor labour standards, including concerns over forced labour in international supply chains.

Business and Trade Committee: priorities
Business and Trade Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

Our role as the House of Commons Business and Trade Committee is to shine a light on issues in business and trade policy. This is an opportunity to inform our work and tell us where to look. 

We want to know your views on the Government’s goals to:

  • Become the economy with the fastest sustained economic growth in the G7.
  • Deliver a ‘pro-business, pro-worker’ agenda with rising living standards in every part of the United Kingdom.
  • Develop closer trading relationships with others, including with the European Union.
  • Maintain the UK’s status as a global leader in protecting consumers.

The Business and Trade Committee (BTC) is looking to scrutinise the most important topics that could help the UK reach the fastest sustainable growth in the G7. This will allow us to create practical recommendations for the Department for Business and Trade to deliver change.

We are looking to hear from as many of the following groups across the UK in November and December 2024:

  • Businesses
  • Consumer Groups
  • Trade Unions
  • Local Government
  • Academics

The Committee would welcome your thoughts on these matters. Please check back to this page in the coming days to find a link to the survey.
