Written Answers
Refugees: Homelessness
Asked by: Scott Arthur (Labour - Edinburgh South West)
Thursday 15th January 2026

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many people granted refugee status have presented to local authorities as homeless or have slept rough within three months of the termination of asylum support in the last 12 months.

Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

The government publishes homelessness and rough sleeping data for England on gov.uk here. This includes data on the number of people owed a homelessness duty due to leaving asylum accommodation and the number of people seen sleeping rough who had left asylum accommodation within the last 85 days.

Bladder Cancer
Asked by: Scott Arthur (Labour - Edinburgh South West)
Friday 16th January 2026

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what consideration he has made of the need for a national bladder cancer audit.

Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

In regards to a National Bladder Cancer Audit consideration, I refer the Hon. Member to the answer given to the Hon. Member for Epsom and Ewell on 10 December 2025 to Question 96365.

Electric Bicycles and Electric Scooters: Sales
Asked by: Scott Arthur (Labour - Edinburgh South West)
Friday 16th January 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 17 December 2025 to Question 98632, how many visits the DVSA has made to retailers selling e-scooters; and how many incidences the DVSA have recorded of e-scooters being sold illegally or without proper guidance of legal restrictions.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The table below shows the number of retailers the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has checked from March 2022 to April 2025.

2022-2023

93

2023-2024

58

2024-2025

47

The table below shows many incidents DVSA has recorded of e-scooters being sold illegally or without proper guidance of legal restrictions, for the same time period.

2022-2023

79

2023-2024

41

2024-2025

42

Please note, high level of non-compliance found in 24-25 FY is due to poor levels of compliance being found in the on-line marketplace. In that year DVSA’s market surveillance unit (MSU) looked into higher proportions sold in on-line markets due to apparent shifts in the way such items are sold.

Vehicles: Delivery Services
Asked by: Scott Arthur (Labour - Edinburgh South West)
Friday 16th January 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what interactions the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency has had with food delivery companies in reference to vehicles used by delivery drivers.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) recognises that last-mile delivery, including food delivery services, presents specific safety and compliance challenges. To address these challenges, DVSA has engaged with representatives from the sector and continues to collaborate on the development of guidance and best practice, including hosting a last mile delivery summit.

Operational enforcement activity is also undertaken where appropriate, particularly in relation to light commercial vehicles used within this segment.

In addition, DVSA does support police investigations – for example, by conducting technical assessments of modified “last-mile” fast-food delivery bicycle fitted with electric motors.

Refugees: Homelessness
Asked by: Scott Arthur (Labour - Edinburgh South West)
Friday 16th January 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that newly recognised refugees who are survivors of trafficking, domestic abuse or torture are not left destitute or homeless when asylum support ends.

Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

The Home Office is committed to supporting individuals granted leave to remain to successfully transition from asylum accommodation to mitigate the risk of homelessness.

The government is aware of the need for a smooth transition between asylum accommodation and other accommodation for those asylum seekers who are granted leave to remain. The Home Office is working to identify and implement efficiencies to support this process and mitigate the risk of homelessness.

Additionally, the Home Office has also placed Asylum Move On Liaison Officers (AMLOs) in over 50 Local Authorities across the UK, working alongside the Migrant Help and NGOs to support individuals who will be leaving asylum accommodation, and ensure a successful transition.
