Motor Vehicles: Excise Duties
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Wednesday 27th May 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the level of equitability of applying the Expensive Car Supplement to second-hand vehicles purchased below the £50,000 threshold but originally registered above that threshold. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Expensive Car Supplement (ECS) is an additional charge payable on top of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for cars with an original list price above £40,000, or £50,000 for zero emission vehicles. The supplement is charged at a flat rate of £440 per year and applies for five years, from the second to the sixth year following a car’s first registration. The ECS is based on a vehicle’s list price as published by the manufacturer, rather than the price paid by any subsequent owners. This approach ensures the system is clear and objective, and that vehicles which were higher value at the point of registration are treated consistently over their initial lifecycle. |

Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Research
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of research funding into endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department funds research on health and social care through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). In 2024/25, through the NIHR, the Department committed £1.3 million for new research projects on gynaecological conditions and menstrual health, which includes endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. This is building on the existing portfolio commissioned in this area. The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health and care, including endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. In recognition that some areas of women’s health have been underserved in research, the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England commits to prioritising research through the NIHR in areas of unmet need in women’s health, such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. |

Gambling: Risk Assessment
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential economic impact on the horse racing and sports betting industries of the full implementation of financial risk assessments on gambling. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) It is for the Gambling Commission to decide whether to implement Financial Risk Assessments (FRA). DCMS continues to support the policy intent behind Financial Risk Assessments, and has had regular engagement with the Gambling Commission on this issue.
Financial Risk Assessments remain aligned with the policy intent as set out in the 2023 Gambling White Paper. The pilot has provided evidence of financial risk for consumers that is not currently being captured through existing policy measures. Current operator practices also introduce friction for some consumers which may not be needed if FRAs were to be rolled out.
Consideration of impact is part of the Commission’s decision making. The Commission has also committed to ongoing review, evaluation and adaptation over time if Financial Risk Assessments are introduced.

Labyrinthitis
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Wednesday 27th May 2026 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 improve GP awareness and training on vestibular conditions. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) General practitioners are responsible for ensuring their own clinical knowledge, including on vestibular conditions, remains up to date and for identifying learning needs as part of their continuing professional development. This activity should include taking account of new research and developments in guidance, such as that produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, to ensure that they can continue to provide high quality care to all patients. All United Kingdom registered doctors are expected to meet the professional standards set out in the General Medical Council’s (GMC’s) Good Medical Practice. In 2012, the GMC introduced revalidation which supports doctors in regularly reflecting on how they can develop or improve their practice, gives patients confidence doctors are up to date with their practice and promotes improved quality of care by driving improvements in clinical governance. The training curriculum for postgraduate trainee doctors is set by the Royal College of General Practitioners and must meet the standards set by the GMC. |

Special Educational Needs: Visual Impairment
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Tuesday 26th May 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of regional disparities in access to Qualified Teachers of Children and Young People with Vision Impairment. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The department does not collect data on the regional distribution of Qualified Teachers of Children and Young People with Vision Impairment. However, we recognise that access to specialist support can vary between regions. To address this, we are investing around £1.8 billion over the next three years for local area partnerships, including local authorities and integrated care boards (ICBs), to develop a new Experts at Hand offer, strengthening mainstream inclusion through access to health and specialist education support. We are asking local areas to work together across education, health and other partners to design a new, joined-up offer of support. This will allow settings to access educational psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and other specialists earlier. These specialists will also provide advice and training for school staff, helping to build confidence in supporting pupils, including those with visual impairments. |

Special Educational Needs
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Wednesday 27th May 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether specialist professionals, including habilitation specialists and Qualified Teachers of Children and Young People with Vision Impairment, will have a formal role in the development of Individual Support Plans. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The Individual Support Plan will provide every child and young person with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) a clear and consistent record of their needs and the help they receive. Professionals will be able to use the Individual Support Plan to share information on their needs and provision with parents and others. This will ensure that support, including from specialists, is joined up and timely, helping children and young people with SEND to thrive.
The department is investing £1.8 billion in the Experts at Hand model over the next three years and will develop National Inclusion Standards that set out evidence-based tools, strategies and approaches to draw on to identify and support children and young people with additional needs. We are focused on providing schools and settings with expert advice and guidance to help them identify and meet a range of special educational needs, including those of children and young people with visual impairments.
