Television Licences: Fraud
Asked by: Matt Western (Labour - Warwick and Leamington) Tuesday 29th October 2024 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many cases of TV licence fraud there were in the last year. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) The Government does not hold information on ‘TV licence fraud’. The BBC is responsible for the collection and enforcement of the licence fee. The BBC’s annual Television Licence Fee Trust Statement provides an estimated evasion rate, which is the predicted number of households required to have a TV licence that do not hold one. The estimated evasion rate for 2023/2024 is 11.3%. The BBC’s Television Licence Fee Trust Statement for the year ending 31 March 2024 can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66a0fda0fc8e12ac3edb03e3/E03119946_-_HC_xxx_BBC_Wales_-_Licensing_Fee_Trust_Statement_ARA_23-24_Accessible.pdf |

Prostate Cancer: Screening
Asked by: Matt Western (Labour - Warwick and Leamington) Wednesday 6th November 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of potential disparities in access to prostate cancer screening among men of different (a) races and (b) socio-economic statuses. Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Screening for prostate cancer is currently not recommended by the UK National Screening Committees (UK NSC). This is because of the inaccuracy of the current best test, called Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). The UK NSC is carrying out an evidence review of prostate cancer screening which includes looking at the evidence for targeted screening of specific high-risk groups, such as Black Men and those with a family history. This will determine whether a PSA test-based screening programme for high-risk groups could provide more good than harm. |

Prostate Cancer: Screening
Asked by: Matt Western (Labour - Warwick and Leamington) Wednesday 6th November 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the informed choice framework for prostate cancer screening. Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Screening for prostate cancer is currently not recommended by the UK National Screening Committees. This is because of the inaccuracy of the current best test called Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). The Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme provides general practitioners with information and guidance to counsel men who have no symptoms about the potential benefits and harms of PSA testing so they can make an informed decision about whether to have the test. |
