Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking to prevent the child maintenance system being used as a tool of financial abuse.

Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

The Government have recently consulted on proposed reforms to manage all CMS cases in one service allowing the CMS to automatically identify missed, late and partial payments. This will provide greater protection from financial abuse. Responses to consultation are currently under consideration.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to business property relief on family-owned property development companies.

Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Government published information about the reforms to business property relief at www.gov.uk/government/publications/agricultural-property-relief-and-business-property-relief-reforms.

It is expected that up to around 2,000 estates will be affected by the changes to APR and BPR in 2026-27, with around half of those being claims that involve AIM shares.

BPR is not available to businesses consisting wholly or mainly of dealing in land or buildings. Whether or not a particular property development company will qualify for relief depends on the nature of the business.

In accordance with standard practice, a tax information and impact note will be published alongside the draft legislation before the relevant Finance Bill.

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the requirement to apply for a licence to install electric car charging units in leasehold properties on the number of applications for such installations.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Government remains committed to making it easier, cheaper, and quicker to install chargepoints. To support the transition for those living and working in leasehold properties, grants are available towards the purchase and installation of chargepoint grants. We continue to monitor and assess how leaseholders can be best supported to install home chargers.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress he has made with Cabinet colleagues on implementing the recommendations of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review 2020.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

Seven of the nine recommendations have been previously accepted by the Government, in full, in part, or in principle, and four of these have been successfully implemented, including:

- issuing an unreserved apology on behalf of the healthcare system;

- appointing Dr Henrietta Hughes as the first ever Patient Safety Commissioner in England in respect of medicines and medical devices; and

- establishing nine specialist mesh centres, which are in operation across England.

Work is ongoing in respect of the remaining recommendations, including working across the Government to consider the recommendations in the Hughes Report, which looked into and provided advice on redress for those affected by sodium valproate and pelvic mesh.
