Written Answers
Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital: Veterans
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim)
Thursday 29th January 2026

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many Northern Ireland resident veterans have accessed the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Gobowen in each of the last three years.

Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic and District Hospital NHS Trust has confirmed it has no record of veterans who are resident in Northern Ireland being referred to their orthopaedic hospital in the last three years.

Driving Licences
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim)
Friday 6th February 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has considered introducing Graduated Driver Licenses for new drivers, in the context of levels of car insurance.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

Driver licensing is devolved in Northern Ireland and is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive and the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Whilst we are not considering Graduated Driver Licensing in Great Britain with further restrictions on newly qualified drivers, such as carrying passengers or driving at night, we are consulting on a Minimum Learning Period before learner drivers can take their practical driving test. This would allow learners more time to gain essential experience, for example in different weather conditions, before driving independently and reduce the risk to themselves and other drivers.

If the number of collisions involving young drivers and novice drivers fall overall, then this could lead to a reduction in insurance premiums for younger drivers.

It is also important to note that motor insurers are responsible for setting the terms and conditions of the policies that they offer and it is for them to decide the level of risk that they take in issuing any policy to a given applicant. Motor insurers use a wide range of criteria to assess the potential risk a driver poses and this includes the age of the applicant, the type of vehicle being insured, the postal area where the applicant lives and the driving experience of the applicant. The setting of premiums is a commercial decision for individual insurers based on their underwriting experience and the Government does not intervene or seek to control the market.

Periwinkles: Fisheries
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim)
Tuesday 10th February 2026

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of amending the closed season for periwinkle gathering in inter-tidal areas in England.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

No national assessment has been made of the merits of amending closed seasons for periwinkle gathering.

The management of inshore fisheries in England, including the gathering of periwinkles in inter‑tidal areas, is the responsibility of the ten Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCAs). IFCAs are committees of local Government. IFCAs have powers to introduce local byelaws, including seasonal restrictions, to ensure the sustainable management of species within their districts.

Invictus Games
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim)
Wednesday 11th February 2026

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much funding his Department has provided to (a) the Invictus Games and (b) UK participants in the Invictus Games (i) in each of the last three games and (ii) how much funding she plans to provide to UK participants at the next games.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

It is taking time to collate the required information to answer the hon. Member's Question. I will write to him when the information is available, and a copy of this letter will be placed in the library of The House.
