Animal Welfare: Police
Asked by: Kevin Bonavia (Labour - Stevenage) Wednesday 25th 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 she has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the potential merits of introducing a dedicated animal cruelty unit within the police force. Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Department regularly meets other Government departments to discuss animal welfare issues including enforcement.
Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, local authorities, the Animal and Plant Health Agency and the police all have powers to investigate allegations of animal cruelty or poor welfare. These bodies will work in close partnership with welfare charities, including the RSPCA, to ensure that the welfare of animals is protected. |
Animal Breeding
Asked by: Kevin Bonavia (Labour - Stevenage) Thursday 26th 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 assessment he has made of the merits of introducing a national register of breeders to improve safeguards against animal abuse. Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) In relation to dogs, under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 (the Regulations), commercial and high-volume dog breeders must hold a licence issued by their local authority. Licensees must meet strict statutory minimum welfare standards which are enforced by local authorities who have powers to issue, refuse, vary or revoke licences.
The department has completed a review of the Regulations which can be found here. The department is considering the review’s findings and will outline any next steps in due course. |
Heart Diseases: Health Services
Asked by: Kevin Bonavia (Labour - Stevenage) Wednesday 18th June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to ensure that victims of cardiac arrest are immediately referred to the cardiac rehabilitation programme. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) In December 2024, to support local systems to commission high quality cardiac rehabilitation, NHS England published the document, Commissioning standards for cardiac rehabilitation. This document is available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/commissioning-standards-for-cardiovascular-rehabilitation/ These standards of care complement the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation’s Standards and Core Components document, published in 2023, to support the delivery of high-quality care and adherence to evidenced-based practice. More information is available at the following link: Patients who survive cardiac arrest and their families are supported through referral to local services within the National Health Service; this will include rehabilitation such as cardiac and neurological rehabilitation and mental health services for psychological support. There are different pathways for cardiac arrest survivors, depending on the severity of the damage caused by the cardiac arrest. For people being discharged from secondary care and those with ischemic heart disease, namely myocardial infarction, cardiac rehabilitation services are available in every region. For this reason, the Government does not currently have plans to bring forward legislative proposals on this issue. |
Driving Tests: Waiting Lists
Asked by: Kevin Bonavia (Labour - Stevenage) Thursday 19th June 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans she has to reduce the backlog of driving tests. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) On the 23 April, the Secretary of State for Transport appeared before the Transport Select Committee and announced that the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will take further actions to reduce waiting times for all customers across Great Britain.
Since this announcement DVSA has:
Further information on these actions and progress of DVSA’s plan to reduce driving test waiting times, which was announced in December 2024, can be found on GOV.UK.

Reserve Forces: Income Tax
Asked by: Kevin Bonavia (Labour - Stevenage) Thursday 19th June 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of implementing an adjusted rate of tax for army reservists that is separate to their civilian incomes. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government fully supports Reservists in volunteering for service alongside their regular employment. Accordingly, Reservists are eligible for an annual tax-free lump sum. Information on this can be found on the Army Reserves pay and benefits webpage. We keep our policies and processes under constant review, to ensure that they attract people to serve and incentivise them to stay. Introducing a separate, adjusted rate of tax for army reservists’ income would add complexity to the tax system and be costly at a time when the Government has already had to take a number of difficult but necessary decisions on tax, welfare, and spending to restore economic stability, fix the public finances, and support public services. |
Children: Adoption and Foster Care
Asked by: Kevin Bonavia (Labour - Stevenage) Tuesday 8th July 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of taking steps to help ensure that the transition of children from foster care to adoption does not have a detrimental impact to the (a) children and (b) former foster parents. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The transition from foster care to adoption is a critical period that can significantly impact both the children involved and their former foster parents. Statutory guidance on placing adopted children states that a clear plan to move a child from foster care to an adoptive placement must be agreed. In many cases a series of introductory meetings will be needed, and guidance is clear that foster carers should be supported by their social worker on such arrangements. What is important is that both the child and prospective adopter feel well prepared before the placement and are happy with the pace of the introductions and date of the placement. Adoption England are implementing National Matching Practice Standards, which includes detail on how children should move in with their adoptive families. The Standards state that professionals involved with the child should ensure an appropriate plan is made to enable the child to maintain relationships with their foster family following the period of introductions to their prospective adoptive family. |
