Nature Conservation: South Ribble
Asked by: Paul Foster (Labour - South Ribble) Tuesday 16th June 2026 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 (i) create more space for nature and (ii) protect natural wildlife in South Ribble constituency. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Nationally, we are investing in habitat creation, restoration and management through agri-environment schemes. Additionally, funding under the Catchment Sensitive Farming scheme has helped reduce pollution and improve air and water quality. We also committed £60million for the recovery of threatened species.
We have supported Lancashire County Council to prepare their Local Nature Recovery Strategy, which identifies actions to restore nature and enhance biodiversity benefiting both wildlife and local communities. South Ribble supports a diverse range of habitats and species, with protected sites like the Ribble Estuary safeguarding key environments such as saltmarsh and grassland and supporting important bird populations. |

Asked by: Paul Foster (Labour - South Ribble) Tuesday 16th June 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many 16–24-year-olds in South Ribble are claiming unemployment benefits. Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The information requested on claimants of unemployment benefits by age is published and available at: https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/default.asp and the guidance for users can be found at: https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/home/newuser.asp.
The claimant count can be found by selecting “Query data” on the NOMIS home page and selecting “Claimant Count” and then “Claimant Count by sex and age” in the lists of data sources. The Geography will need to be set for the relevant Westminster constituency from the menus, and then 16-24 selected in the Age menu to access the latest 16-24 year olds on the claimant count. This counts the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus those who claim Universal Credit and are required to seek work and be available for work. |
