Neurology: Training
Asked by: Mike Reader (Labour - Northampton South) Monday 5th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many neurologists there are who have specialist training in Parkinson’s; how many geriatricians there are who have specialist training in Parkinson’s; and how many specialist Parkinson’s nurses there are in the UK. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) While the Department does not hold data specifically on the number of Parkinson’s specialist staff in England, we do hold data on the number of doctors working in the wider specialities of neurology and geriatric medicine. As of August 2025, there were 2,010 full time equivalent (FTE) doctors working in the specialty of neurology and 6,284 in geriatric medicine in National Health Service trusts and other organisations in England. This includes 1,025 FTE consultant neurologists and 1,687 FTE consultant geriatricians. The Department does not hold specific data on the number of specialist Parkinson’s nurses employed in the NHS in England. These roles are commissioned locally by NHS trusts and integrated care boards as part of neurology and movement disorder services. NHS England has published a service specification for specialised adult neurology services, which includes Parkinson’s disease as part of its scope. This specification sets out requirements for multidisciplinary care, including access to Parkinson’s disease nurse specialists, consultant neurologists and allied health professionals. NHS England is also implementing initiatives such as the Neurology Transformation Programme and the Getting It Right First Time Programme for Neurology, which aim to improve access to specialist care, reduce variation, and develop integrated models of service delivery for conditions including Parkinson’s disease. These programmes align with the National Institute for Care Excellence guidance on Parkinson’s disease, reference code NG71, which recommends that people with Parkinson’s have regular access to specialist staff with expertise in the condition. |

Renewable Energy: Landfill
Asked by: Mike Reader (Labour - Northampton South) Monday 12th January 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department plans to introduce transitional arrangements for landfill gas electricity generation following the closure of the Renewables Obligation in 2027; and what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of methane capture from landfill sites. Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Government is aware that Renewables Obligation (RO) support for existing landfill gas generators will begin to end in 2027, and that this could affect their commercial viability. We have also considered the implications that the end of RO support will have on methane emissions.
That is why, as set out in the Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery Plan, Government is exploring the implementation of a long-term methane capture scheme, with suitable transitional arrangements.
We will provide an update in due course. |

Conveyancing
Asked by: Mike Reader (Labour - Northampton South) Wednesday 14th January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps is his Department taking to improve the home conveyancing and residential property transaction process, in the context of the average length of time between a house sale being agreed and the exchange of contracts being more than four months. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) On 6 October 2025, the government published two consultations outlining reform proposals to transform home buying and selling. They can be found on gov.uk here and here. We are now analysing the responses to both consultations. |

| Select Committee Inquiry |
|---|
|
6 Feb 2026
Reviewing the electricity market Energy Security and Net Zero Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 27 Mar 2026) The Committee is inquiring into what reforms are needed to the UK electricity market to enable the transition to clean, lower cost energy by 2023. After long consultation, the Government indicated last year that it does not intend to undertake wholesale reform toward a model of locational pricing. But it has not set out its thinking or research on the range of possible individual reforms to the current system, that could break down some of the blocks and inefficiencies in the current market (see the Committee’s ongoing inquiry on the Cost of Energy for more work on those). Progressive vs wholesale reform The Committee is now inviting evidence on the range of possible reforms open to Government to implement and their impacts on reaching the UK’s twin goals of 95% clean energy generation by 2030 and bringing down energy bills. |
