Local Government: Elections
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department plans to take steps to avoid postponement of scheduled local elections during future reorganisation processes. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Government’s starting point is for all elections to go ahead unless there is strong justification.
The Government will work with areas to hold elections for new unitary councils as soon as possible, as is the usual arrangement in the process of local government reorganisation.
Legislation to implement proposals for unitary councils replaces any planned elections with elections for the new councils. This avoid the cost and disruption of elections to short-term posts in councils which will shortly be abolished. |

Heat Pumps
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme regulations for heat pumps operating at flow temperatures between 65°C and 75°C. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) stipulates that all heat pumps operating at flow temperatures above 35°C are required to be tested and meet a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of 2.8. Therefore, MCS holds heat pumps operating between 65 and 75°C to the same standards as other heat pumps.
DESNZ consulted in December 2024 on “Raising product standards for space heating” which would introduce a definition and standards for high temperature heat pumps. This would be defined as any heat pump operating at 65°C. A Government Response will be issued in due course. |

Heating: Social Rented Housing
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support the large scale retrofitting of heating systems in social housing. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) We have committed £13.2bn in the Warm Homes Plan up to 2030, in line with our Manifesto commitment. This will support investment in low carbon heating, solar, batteries and insulation to up to 5 million homes across England.
Within Wave 3 of the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, which launched earlier this year, in addition to targeted off-grid, low-carbon heating grant funding there is a new optional low-carbon heating funding incentive for homes on the gas grid.
Up to 10% of on-grid homes in an application can access a £20,000 grant per home to install low-carbon heating measures. |

Heat Pumps
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the suitability of current Seasonal Coefficient of Performance thresholds for high temperature heat pumps. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The current product standards regulations do not set distinct performance thresholds for high temperature heat pumps. The ecodesign heat pump efficiency standard applies to all heat pumps other than low temperature models. However, the government consulted in December 2024 on proposals for ‘raising product standards for space heating’. These included introducing a definition and standards for high temperature heat pumps. Under the proposals, this would be defined as any heat pump operating at 65°C flow temperature. The government will publish a response to that consultation in due course. |

Local Government: Reorganisation
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of undertaking a public consultation on the reorganisation of local government. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) As set out in the English Devolution White Paper we are ending the two-tier system of local government and establishing single tier councils everywhere. Two tier local government slows down decision making and delivery. It leads to fragmented public services, wastes money on duplication, and is confusing about who is responsible for what. We have invited proposals for unitary councils from councils in the 21 two-tier areas in England. There is a requirement for the Secretary of State to consult with affected councils and such other persons as he considers appropriate before implementing a proposal. |

Social Rented Housing: Sales
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department plans to require registered providers of social housing to provide data on (a) the number and (b) location of all market sales over the past five years and the (i) value, (ii) age, (iii) condition and (iv) other information on stock in the forthcoming housing strategy. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) sets out when it must be notified if a private registered provider disposes of homes – including where these might be disposed of by market sale. RSH sets out different requirements dependent on the nature of the disposal but requires providers that are selling homes out of the regulated sector to identify the location and number of homes sold. The relevant RSH guidance can be found on gov.uk here. RSH publishes a range of statistics, including on sector and provider-level number of sales. These are available on gov.uk here. |

Unitary Councils
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Tuesday 21st October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has considered reducing the desired population size for new unitary councils to 300,000 residents. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) New unitary councils must be the right size to achieve efficiencies, improve capacity and withstand financial shocks. The 500,000 figure is a guiding principle, not a hard target. We understand the need for flexibility, especially given our ambition to build out devolution and take account of housing growth alongside local government reorganisation. All proposals – whether they are at, above, or below the guided level – should clearly set out the rationale for the proposed approach. Decisions on the most appropriate option for each area will be judgements in the round, having regard to the statutory guidance and the available evidence. |

Community Assets
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Tuesday 21st October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department plans to review the criteria for designating Assets of Community Value to consider environmental benefit as a qualifying factor. Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The new community right to buy, which we are introducing through the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, will give communities stronger powers to take ownership of assets that are important to them and save them for future community use.
Communities will be able to nominate any asset that furthers the social or economic wellbeing of the community, which will include a range of environmental assets, and purchase these if they are put up for sale. |

Flood Control: Publicity
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Tuesday 21st October 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to ensure the public receive (a) timely and (b) relevant information on flood risks. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Environment Agency (EA) aims to issue flood alerts and warnings 30 minutes to 12 hours before flooding. The EA regularly reviews and improves its warning service, including better forecast models, adjusted thresholds for triggering alerts and warnings, and faster digital processing. This autumn, the EA will update the ‘Get flood warnings’ service to make it easier to use, more flexible, and more reliable, with clearer and more consistent messaging. The EA is also exploring artificial intelligence to deliver quicker, more accurate warnings and improve how flood risks are communicated to help people prepare. |

Flood Control: Older People
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Tuesday 21st October 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 her Department has made of the adequacy of the accessibility of the Environment Agency’s new flood warning service for older people. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Get flood warnings service was designed with input from many users including older adults and those with access needs to ensure good accessibility for all. Their feedback led to improvements like clearer navigation, screen reader compatibility and combining flood alerts and warnings onto one page. Older people can still use the 24-hour Floodline helpline, which offers general support and an accessible route for people who prefer not to go online. Floodline staff can help users sign up and manage their accounts, and people can nominate a friend or family member to receive warnings on their behalf. The service meets the GOV.UK Service Standard, meaning it is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all. |

Dental Services: Fees and Charges
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 27th October 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy to amend the NHS dental contract to prevent NHS patients from being required to pay the full cost of treatment at the time of booking an appointment. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The dental contract does not provide any legal basis for a dental practice to take payment for National Health Service dental work before a course of treatment has been delivered. An NHS dentist or dental professional should not charge a deposit before assessing a patient’s mouth and teeth or checking their symptoms. Further information is available at the following link: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/dentists/what-happens-when-you-visit-the-dentist/ Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning primary care services, including NHS dentistry, and for determining the priorities for investment, in order to meet the needs of the local populations. If dental practices are operating outside of their contract, the ICB will be able to engage with the practice to resolve this issue. |

Large Goods Vehicles: Carbon Emissions
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Wednesday 22nd October 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to extend the (a) 38.4 and (b) 44 tonne limits for lower carbon construction vehicles after 2028. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Department ran a call for evidence from October to December 2023 seeking views on three potential options on weight limits for Volumetric Concrete Mixers (VCMs). The outcome of this review was published on 18 March 2025.
VCMs will continue to be permitted on our roads, but as planned, a temporary weight limit exemption for this type of vehicle (via vehicle special orders) will end on 31 March 2028, after which VCMs must operate at the legal weight limits applicable to other heavy good vehicles. This is not a ban or change in policy.
There are no plans to extend the 38.4 or 44 tonne weight limits for Volumetric Concrete Mixers beyond 2028.

Local Government: Management
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Wednesday 22nd October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of requiring councils to adopt a cabinet model of governance under proposed legislation. Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Requiring all councils in England to operate an executive model of governance will simplify local authority governance arrangements and provide clearer, more easily understood decision-making structures. The vast majority of councils already operate a cabinet model of governance and will not be affected by the requirement. |

Magistrates: Conditions of Employment
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Thursday 23rd October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions he has had with the Courts and Tribunals Judiciary on improving the terms and conditions for magistrates. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) As magistrates are volunteers, they do not have formal terms and conditions. However, their role is governed by the Lord Chancellor’s Directions, which set out expectations and guidance for their role. While these Directions are issued by the Lord Chancellor, they are developed with input from, and in coordination with, the independent Judiciary. The Lord Chancellor regularly meets with the Lady Chief Justice and senior judiciary to discuss courts, tribunals, the magistracy, and the wider justice system. It is standard practice not to comment on the specifics of Minister-judiciary conversations. Magistrates can claim expenses for loss of earnings, travel and subsistence in support of their judicial duties. The Ministry of Justice will consult on, and publish, an updated Magistrates Expenses policy in 2026. Training of the judiciary is a judicial responsibility. Magistrates are supported with an extensive training programme, provided by the Judicial College, across their first 12-15 months in post, including a three day in person induction course at the outset. All newly appointed magistrates are also supported by a mentor. Continuation training and regular appraisals are provided for magistrates on an ongoing basis.

Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) The Ministry of Justice is dedicated to ensuring all magistrates feel valued for their work. We have considered the Magistrates’ Association report on improving recognition of magistrates and its recommendations for Ministers and the Senior Judiciary. We work closely with the Magistrates’ Association, and we will consider their recommendations carefully. |

Teachers: Training
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Friday 24th October 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department provides (a) training and (b) support to teachers working with children experiencing alienation from a (i) parent and (ii) grandparent. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework sets out the core content that defines great teaching and must be used by all providers of initial and early career teacher training to create their curricula. The framework sets out that trainees and early career teachers should learn how to develop an understanding of each pupil's individual needs by engaging with parents and carers to better understand these individual needs, and building trusting relationships with parents and carers to better understand each pupil's circumstances. Beyond the mandatory framework, decisions relating to teachers’ professional development rests with schools, headteachers, and teachers themselves, as they are in the best position to judge the development and training that teachers in their schools need to support their pupils. |
