Cattle: Pest Control
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim) Thursday 11th 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 estimate she has been made of the levels of screw worm infection in the UK cattle herd. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office) New World Screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax, a parasitic blowfly, is classified as a notifiable pathogen under the Specified Animal Pathogens Order (SAPO) in the United Kingdom. The fly is not established in the UK and there have been no recorded cases of screwworm infection in the UK cattle herd.
In the event of a suspected or confirmed case, the Secretary of State would either be notified via the Animal and Plant Health Agency or by the Health and Safety Executive who are the SAPO licensing authority. |

HM Coastguard: Voluntary Work
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim) Monday 15th June 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of transitioning HM Coastguard to a revised volunteer-only model on recruitment and retention. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Changing the Coastguard Rescue Service operating model was not something which we wanted to do but is a mandated consequence of the Court of Appeal ruling. His Majesty’s Coastguard has 3000+ Coastguard Rescue Officers, all with unique personal circumstances and all potential options for a revised model would have affected individuals differently. After careful consideration of the legal position, operational and organisational implications, and feedback from members, moving to a volunteer model with expenses but not hourly remuneration was the best option to protect the service. Alternative models would have had significant complexities, including impacting people’s ability to serve alongside their primary employment.
