Powers of Attorney
Asked by: Lee Barron (Labour - Corby and East Northamptonshire) Tuesday 3rd February 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make an assessment of the rationale for requiring separate applications for a Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney and a Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney, where both powers are granted to the same individual. Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows a person (the donor) to choose people they trust (the attorney) to make decisions for them should they lose the mental capacity to make their own decisions. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 provides the legal framework for LPAs, one for Property and Financial Affairs and one for Health and Welfare, reflecting their different scopes and use. While donors often appoint the same attorney for both, the instruments remain separate to avoid confusion arising from the differing points to which each LPA can be used and ensures donors can make clear, informed decisions about each type of power. The Health and Welfare LPA may also contain sensitive health information which is not relevant for Property and Financial Affairs decisions. There were consultations in 2012 and 2013 which included proposals for a combined form but, in line with the responses, the Department did not proceed with this idea. |

Eggs: Ukraine
Asked by: Lee Barron (Labour - Corby and East Northamptonshire) Wednesday 4th February 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the temporary removal of tariffs on egg imports from Ukraine on UK egg producers. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Under our Free Trade Agreement with Ukraine, tariffs on all goods are temporarily removed until March 2029, except for poultry and eggs, where the liberalisation is due to end on 31 March 2028 following the two-year extension announced on 19 January 2026. |

29 Jan 2026
Realising potential: Delivering the Child Poverty Strategy Work and Pensions Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Members of the Education and Work and Pensions Select Committees have decided to undertake an inquiry that will consider how the Government can ensure it will deliver a successful Child Poverty Strategy. On 5 December 2025, the Government published its Child Poverty Strategy, which it estimates will lift 550,000 children out of poverty by the final year of this Parliament. The Strategy sets out measures across three different areas: (i) boosting family incomes; (ii) driving down the cost of essentials; and (iii) strengthening local support. Whilst the Strategy signals a positive step in the right direction, the Committees are seeking to explore if the Government is being sufficiently ambitious. The Committees will also consider how accountability, outcomes, and the longevity of the Strategy could be strengthened through targets, monitoring and evaluation, to ensure sustained work and progress to reduce child poverty. Please read Parliament's guidance on giving evidence to select committees before writing your submission. For safeguarding reasons and to avoid identification, please refrain from naming specific people, educational settings or children in your submission. We are unable to publish personal testimony evidence that is submitted anonymously or contains this information. Personal testimony evidence that cannot be published will be read and summarised into an anonymised thematic note. Your submission should be no more than 3,000 words. You can submit evidence until 23:59 on 6 March 2026. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry |
