Development Aid: Voluntary Service Overseas
Asked by: Nadia Whittome (Labour - Nottingham East) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) charity on the potential impact of recent and proposed changes in the level of Official Development Assistance funding on the effectiveness of VSO. Answered by Chris Elmore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Our partnership with Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) has been extended until March 2027. The Active Citizenship through Inclusive Volunteering and Empowerment (ACTIVE) programme currently operates in 14 countries and works with local civil society groups to strengthen their organisational capacity, leadership, autonomy and sustainability. This reflects our modernised approach to development, delivering value for money for UK taxpayers and transforming our country development partnerships to reflect the changing needs of our partners. We are looking forward to seeing how VSO's work progresses. |

Bowel Cancer: Medical Treatments
Asked by: Nadia Whittome (Labour - Nottingham East) Tuesday 21st April 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 help (a) ensure that the BREAKWATER treatment protocol for patients with BRAF‑mutated bowel cancer is evaluated and funded as a matter of urgency, and (b) secure equal access to this protocol for patients across the UK. Answered by Zubir Ahmed The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations for the National Health Service on whether new licensed medicines and licence extensions for existing medicines should be routinely funded by the NHS based on an assessment of clinical and cost effectiveness. NICE aims wherever possible to issue guidance for the NHS on new medicines close to the time of licensing, and cancer drugs are eligible for funding from the point of a positive draft NICE recommendation. The BREAKWATER study is investigating encorafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, in combination with cetuximab and fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for the potential treatment of colorectal cancer. This regimen does not currently have a United Kingdom marketing authorisation for use in the treatment of previously untreated BRAF V600E mutation positive metastatic colorectal cancer. NICE has prioritised an appraisal of encorafenib for this indication in anticipation of it being granted a UK marketing authorisation and will schedule the appraisal so that guidance can be published as close as possible to the expected licensing date. Further information on the appraisal’s status is publicly available on NICE’s website at the following link: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/awaiting-development/gid-ta11961 The clinical trial was assessed and approved in the UK and is currently active, with further information available at the following link: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04607421?term=BREAKWATER&viewType=Card&rank=1 |

General Practitioners: Contracts
Asked by: Nadia Whittome (Labour - Nottingham East) Tuesday 21st April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, asking what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the General Practice Contract 2026–27 for England on a) patient safety and b) the long-term sustainability of general practice. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department and NHS England assessed the potential impacts of the proposed changes to the GP Contract on patient safety and the long-term sustainability of general practices (GPs) for 2026/27 throughout the policy-development process. In early 2026, we concluded the 2026/27 GP Contract consultation. This year we expanded the consultation to engage with wider stakeholders across GPs and patient voice organisations. These were the General Practitioners Committee England, the Royal College of General Practitioners, National Voices, the Institute of General Practice Management, Healthwatch England, NHS Confederation, now NHS Alliance following its merge with NHS Providers, and the National Association of Primary Care. The feedback we received from stakeholders across the system has been constructive and comprehensive, enabling us to refine proposals and address concerns while developing the final contract package.
Overall, the changes are designed to help increase capacity in GPs, support patient access, shift from treatment to prevention through changes to the Quality and Outcomes Framework and vaccinations, enable practices to prioritise clinically urgent needs, and ensure GPs remain sustainable for the future. The changes make progress on commitments in the 10-Year Health Plan as well as key commitments to bring back the family doctor and end the 8:00am scramble.
The Department and NHS England will continue to monitor the impact of the GP Contract through workforce data, patient access metrics, and patient experience data. |

Special Educational Needs: Finance
Asked by: Nadia Whittome (Labour - Nottingham East) Tuesday 21st April 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to a) support High Level Need funding and b) support local authorities to meet statutory SEND duties. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) High needs funding for children and young people with complex needs is continuing at an increased level of over £12 billion in the 2026/27 financial year, following an increase of 11% in 2025/26. Of that total, Nottingham City Council is being allocated over £70 million. The Schools white paper set out additional funding for both schools and local authorities to drive forward reform of the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system, with £4 billion over the next three years, including an inclusive mainstream fund of £1.6 million and £1.8 million for Experts at Hand to provide specialist support to mainstream settings. This will reverse the trend of late intervention and escalation in needs. It remains important that every local authority meets its statutory SEND duties while ensuring robust controls as they, other local partners and the department work together to reform the SEND system. We will support authorities in this work through their Local SEND Reform Plans. |

Asked by: Nadia Whittome (Labour - Nottingham East) Monday 27th April 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to her Department's document entitled FCDO archive inventory, updated on 12 March 2025, what steps her Department is taking to review and make available records relating to policy in Palestine, including UID 1454 and 1790. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Last year, the UK made the historic decision to recognise the state of Palestine, noting that our commitment to supporting long-term peace stems not only from the current crisis but also from our historic responsibility to the region's security. Available materials about the UK's role during the Mandate for Palestine can be readily accessed from the National Archives. |

Fuels: Air Ambulance Services
Asked by: Nadia Whittome (Labour - Nottingham East) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will formally include air ambulance charities within national fuel resilience and prioritisation planning. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The UK benefits from a diverse and resilient fuel supply chain and remains well supplied across all fuel types. The Government regularly reviews which organisations provide essential services within the context of the National Emergency Plan for Fuel. This includes consideration of air ambulance charities, recognising the vital role they play in emergency response and patient care.
A summary of the National Emergency Plan for Fuel is published on gov.uk and sets out measures to respond to fuel supply and distribution disruption. In the unlikely event of a sustained disruption, these arrangements enable fuel to be prioritised for essential services and critical supply chains.
The Government does not assess that the current situation warrants, or is approaching, the threshold for the use of emergency powers. |

Clothing: Charities
Asked by: Nadia Whittome (Labour - Nottingham East) Wednesday 20th 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 adequacy of regulations governing charity-branded clothing collection bins operated by commercial companies. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) Charity clothing collection banks operated by commercial companies can provide a regular source of income for charities whilst supporting the reuse and recycling of unwanted items.
Companies operating collection banks must have written agreements with the charities they support and it should be clear to the public how their items will be used. Charity collection banks must have landowner permission, display the charity's details, and comply with the Code of Fundraising Practice. Local authorities can remove fraudulent or unauthorised collection banks on public land and highways.

30 Apr 2026
Equality at work: flexible working and disability Women and Equalities Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 26 Jun 2026) The Women and Equalities Committee is examining disabled workers’ and jobseekers’ access to flexible working arrangements. The inquiry is considering experiences of flexible working across different groups of disabled people and sectors of the labour market. It will examine associated schemes, such as Access to Work. It is considering the effectiveness of the law in this area, including employers’ duties to provide “reasonable adjustments” under the Equality Act and changes, set out in the Employment Rights Act 2025, intended to widen access to flexible working arrangements.
