Written Answers
Refugees: Children
Asked by: Martin Rhodes (Labour - Glasgow North)
Friday 4th April 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the number of children in the UK who are (a) stateless and (b) at risk of statelessness.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

The information requested is not available from published statistics and could only be collated and verified for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

Further Education: Visual Impairment
Asked by: Martin Rhodes (Labour - Glasgow North)
Wednesday 16th April 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what research her Department has conducted into improving accessibility for blind people in further education colleges.

Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.

The department regularly engages with a range of stakeholders to ensure that the needs of students with disabilities (including visual impairments) are understood, barriers can be addressed and support put in place.

The department collects data on learner characteristics, participation and achievements. This is regularly published online: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/special-educational-needs-in-england/2023-24.

Through the department’s grants and contracts within the further education and research sectors, we receive valuable information on the experiences of students with visual impairments. An example of this is the Accessibility in Further Education 2022 report from the Thomas Pocklington Trust, which can be accessed here: https://asset.nasen.org.uk/accessibility_in_further_education_-_2022_all-able.pdf. The report explores blind and partially sighted student access to information in further education. We also use the information provided from the ‘What Works in SEND’ resources, which is accessible here: https://whatworks-send.org.uk/. These types of research are useful as we are developing policy areas which will ensure that education is accessible for all.

Environmental Audit Committee (Select)

The Environmental Audit Committee is undertaking an inquiry on airport expansion and climate and nature targets. In this inquiry the Committee is seeking to:

  • establish the climate and environmental targets which Ministers ought to ensure are met under its policy to support airport expansion;
  • examine current projections for aviation demand, for aviation emissions and for the reduction of emissions and other negative environmental impacts, through technological developments and other means;
  • ascertain what environmental and climate conditions the Government ought to establish for airport developments through the use of planning policy statements, and
  • consider how Ministers should seek to maintain aviation’s compliance with climate and environmental targets and what policy safeguards might be necessary to achieve this.

Addressing the risks from Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Environmental Audit Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 26 May 2025)


Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a large, complex group of about 14,000 synthetic chemicals used in a wide variety of everyday products. For example, PFAS are used to keep food from sticking to packaging or cookware, make clothes and carpets resistant to stains, and create firefighting foam that is more effective.  

PFAS chemicals do not degrade easily in the environment and for this reason they have often been referred to as ‘forever’ chemicals. Research has indicated that PFAS can lead to a range of health issues, such as decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, a higher risk of certain cancers and immune system suppression.  

Our inquiry will consider whether enough is being done to address the risks of PFAS in the UK and whether research institutions and the Environment Agency are equipped to detect and monitor their impact. It will also explore what regulatory mechanisms are in place across the UK and how they compare to other jurisdictions around the world, such as the European Union and the United States of America.
