Countryside Stewardship Scheme: Rivers
Asked by: Sarah Champion (Labour - Rotherham) Monday 1st June 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will introduce a mechanism to incentivise the creation of river habitat corridors across neighbouring farms to the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office) Farmers and land managers can already work together to create river habitat corridors across neighbouring farms through Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier. Farmers can consider Feasibility Studies to support this.
The scheme already includes actions supporting river and floodplain habitat restoration, including:
These actions restore dynamic river and floodplain habitats, allowing natural movement, seasonal flooding, and reduced erosion and help reconnect rivers and floodplains to help create diverse wetland features that support biodiversity, climate adaptation and natural flood and drought management.

Food Supply
Asked by: Sarah Champion (Labour - Rotherham) Wednesday 10th 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 assessment she has made of the potential impact of agroecology on (a) food security and (b) food prices. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office) Defra’s assessment of evidence on agroecological practices, including organic and other environmentally friendly systems, indicates that these approaches can enhance biodiversity and soil and biomass carbon at farm level. However, there are further profitability and food security considerations when balancing the lower yields agroecological practises often deliver versus volatile input costs associated with conventional farming. |

HM Prison and Probation Service: Vetting
Asked by: Sarah Champion (Labour - Rotherham) Wednesday 10th June 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what was the average time taken to complete HM Prisons and Probation Service staff security vetting for each quarter of the last 12 months. Answered by Jake Richards - Assistant Whip Within HM Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS), security vetting is carried out to ensure individuals who wish to take up employment within the organisation can uphold the security and integrity standards expected of their role and ensure prisons and probation remain safe for rehabilitation to take place. In response to this question, information on the average time taken to complete staff security vetting is not held centrally in the format requested. Responsibility for staff security vetting within HMPPS is split across different teams and service providers, and there is no single centrally held dataset capturing end‑to‑end average completion times by quarter. Without a centrally held dataset, we are unable to provide the average time taken to complete HMPPS security vetting in response to the question. |

Nitrous Oxide: Sales
Asked by: Sarah Champion (Labour - Rotherham) Thursday 18th June 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to further regulate the sale of nitrous oxide cannisters. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) Since November 2023, nitrous oxide has been controlled as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Under the Act, it is an offence to produce, supply, offer to supply, possess, possess with intent to supply, import or export nitrous oxide where it is intended for wrongful inhalation. This applies to all sizes of canister. Illicit possession of nitrous oxide carries a penalty of up to two years’ imprisonment and illicit supply carries a penalty of up to 14 years’ imprisonment. According to data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, since the introduction of these controls use of nitrous oxide has decreased with prevalence among 16- to 59-year-olds falling from 0.9% to 0.5% in the year ending March 2025. Among 16- to 24-year-olds, use has fallen to its lowest level since records began. The Government will continue to keep the legislation under review but there are no current plans to introduce further regulation of the sale of nitrous oxide. |
