Noise: Greater London
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Monday 3rd February 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an estimate of the number of people living in London that have recorded (a) physical and (b) mental illnesses linked to noise pollution. Answered by Andrew Gwynne A specific estimate of the number of people living in London that have recorded physical and mental illnesses linked to noise pollution has not been completed. In 2023, the UK Health Security Agency published the findings from a new study that maps the effects of transport noise on health and wellbeing across England, including London. It was estimated that transport noise in London was responsible for the equivalent of thirty-six thousand healthy life years lost in disability in 2018. This includes effects from roads, railways, and air traffic. This work was based on methods developed by the World Health Organization, with further information available at the following link: |

Police Stations: Greater London
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Friday 31st January 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which 100 wards in London are the furthest distance from a police station. Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Office does not hold centrally, and could only collate and verify it for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost. It is up to Chief Constables and directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners to make decisions on local resourcing and estates, including police stations. They are best placed to make these decisions based on their local knowledge and experience. Police stations are just one of the ways people can access their local police services, including reporting online and by phone 24/7. |

Private Rented Housing: Evictions
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Friday 7th February 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many single parents with more than two children have been evicted through a Section 21 notice in each year since 2015. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Department does not hold granular data on Section 21 evictions, either year by year or by the demographics of those affected. However, the English Private Landlord Survey 2024 indicated that Section 21 notices are the most common way landlords evict tenants, and we know that chronic insecurity in the private rented sector has real-life consequences for individuals and families, including single parents. The Renters’ Rights Bill will deliver our manifesto commitment to transform the experience of private renting, including the long-delayed abolition of Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions. The Bill will give renters much greater security and stability so they can stay in their homes for longer, build lives in their communities, and avoid the risk of homelessness. |

Local Government: Reform
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Thursday 6th February 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress his Department has made on the review to look at government wide reform at a local level led by the Parliamentary Secretary. Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) The Government is committed to reforming the state to deliver better public services which revolve around the needs of the users. At the heart of those reforms is a place-based approach. A significant programme of work is underway with departments, local authorities, leaders, frontline staff and others to strengthen and embed this way of working across government.
The work underway includes the £100 million Public Service Reform and Innovation Fund, which will be deploying Test and Learns teams around the country over the next three years to design and test innovative solutions to our biggest public service challenges in partnership with local places – and ensuring that local learning informs national policy decisions.
The Government will also use the significant opportunity presented by the Spending Review to reform our public services.
