Business: Billing
Asked by: Peter Swallow (Labour - Bracknell) Monday 15th December 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will take steps to ensure that businesses pay for goods and services, including those from freelancers, on time. Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) This Government will legislate to end the scourge of late payments, which costs the UK economy £11bn per year and closes down 38 UK businesses every day. On 23 October we concluded a 12-week public consultation on our legislative proposals.
We are now analysing and carefully considering the responses to our consultation. These responses are representative of a range of business sizes, including freelancers, and we are grateful for their contributions. We will publish a Government response to the consultation in the new year and intend to take forward legislation as soon as Parliamentary time allows. |

Special Educational Needs: Dyslexia
Asked by: Peter Swallow (Labour - Bracknell) Wednesday 24th December 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to support students with dyslexia in the context of the Curriculum and Assessment Review Final Report and the SEND white paper. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The government is committed to ensuring that all pupils receive the support they need to achieve and thrive, including those with dyslexia. The Curriculum and Assessment Review emphasised inclusion and high standards for all, recommending evidence-led resources to help teachers adapt curricula for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We know that effective early identification and intervention is critical to improving the outcomes for children and young people with SEND. We are strengthening the evidence base of what works to improve early identification in mainstream settings. This includes recently published evidence reviews from University College London which highlight the most effective tools, strategies and approaches to identify and support different types of needs
The department also recently announced new government-backed research into SEND identification, which will aim to develop and test effective approaches to help the early identification of children needing tailored educational support.
