Taxis: Greater London
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Monday 9th June 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help tackle the delay in TfL issuing Public Carriage Office licences to people (a) with health conditions who are ineligible for the temporary license and (b) who have faced personal costs of (i) loss of earnings, (ii) loss of assets to cover bills, (iii) homelessness, (iv) health impacts, (v) loss of customers and (vi) small business failures. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Department for Transport is responsible for setting the regulatory structure within which local licensing authorities in England license the taxi and private hire vehicle trades but ultimately the licensing process is left at the discretion of local authorities. We work closely with TfL on a range of issues but the operation of private hire driver licensing is a matter solely for them.

Answered by Jess Phillips - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) The Victims and Prisoners Act 2024 introduced a duty on all 43 police forces to make Operation Encompass notifications to schools after attending a domestic abuse incident in a child’s home before the start of the next school day. The Home Office is currently planning the commencement of the duty. This will include considering what guidance or training police forces may require to ensure a consistent approach with all schools. |

Children: Protection
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Wednesday 11th June 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to her Department's statutory guidance entitled Working Together to Safeguard Children, updated 8 May 2025, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of including adoptive parents. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The ‘Working together to safeguard children’ statutory guidance is multi-agency guidance that sets out the help, support and protection available to all children and their families. Where the guidance refers to parents, this includes adoptive parents. The guidance was updated in 2023 with a focus on strengthening multi-agency working across the whole system of help, support and protection, maintaining a child focus within a whole family approach to help and support and embedding strong, effective multi-agency child protection practice. The department is committed to reviewing the ‘Working together to safeguard children’ guidance every year. On 8 May 2025, we published an illustrated version of the guidance for children, young people and their families which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children--2. |
Visas: British National (Overseas)
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Friday 13th June 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of her Department's White paper entitled Restoring control over the immigration system, published on 12 May 2025, on British National (0verseas) Visa holders. Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) The British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) route was launched on 31 January 2021 in response to China’s passing of the National Security Law. The route reflects the UK’s historic and moral commitment to those people of Hong Kong who chose to retain their ties to the UK by taking up BN(O) status at the point of Hong Kong’s handover to China in 1997. The Government is committed to supporting members of the Hong Kong community who have relocated to the UK and those who may come here in future. Further details of all measures announced in the Immigration White Paper will be set out in the normal way in due course, and where necessary, will be subject to consultation. |
Immigration
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Tuesday 17th June 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with regards to her Department's White Paper on Restoring control over the immigration system, published 12 May, if she will publish further information on how changes to the (a) standard qualifying period for settlement to 10 years will affect people already in the UK, (b) pathway to settlement will affect non-UK dependants and (c) qualifying period base on Points-Based contributions will affect applicants. Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) We will reform our settlement and citizenship rules by expanding the Points-Based System and increasing the standard qualifying period for settlement to ten years. Individuals will have the opportunity to reduce the qualifying period to settlement and citizenship based on contributions to the UK economy and society. We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year and further details on the proposed scheme will be provided at that time. |
Development Aid
Asked by: Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat - Richmond Park) Wednesday 18th June 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of reductions to the Official Development Aid on (a) the VSO and (b) other British companies with a significant presence in the UK. Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Decisions on how the Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget will be used are being worked through as part of the ongoing allocations process following the Spending Review. This will be based on various factors, including impact assessments. We are working out how our partnership with Voluntary Service Overseas should evolve in line with our new approach to civil society funding which will support the sustainability of international organisations and their partners in developing countries, enabling them to become more self-sustaining and resilient in the future. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) have been monitoring the impact of budget reductions on all our suppliers. We will continue to monitor the impact as spending decisions are made. Staff across the FCDO have been given guidance on the importance of engaging with our suppliers to manage the pivot in ODA programming responsibly if scaling down or exiting programmes. |
