Written Answers
Asylum: Chevening Scholarships Programme
Asked by: Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat - North East Fife)
Tuesday 21st April 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Chevening Scholars who have claimed asylum in each year between 2021 and 2025 broken down by home country.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on the number of people claiming asylum where the latest leave held prior to claim was a study visa is published in table Asy_D01a of the ‘Asylum claims and initial decisions datasets’. The number of student entry clearance visas issued is published in table Vis_D02 of the 'Entry clearance visas datasets'.

The requested information on asylum claims from Chevening scholars is not available from published statistics.

Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics, taking into account a number of factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data. These reviews allow us to balance the production of our regular statistics whilst developing new statistics for future release.

Access to Work Programme
Asked by: Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat - North East Fife)
Monday 27th April 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to reduce the time taken to process Access to Work claims.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

We have increased the number of staff by 29% from 500 in March 2024 to 648 in March 2026 and streamlined processes to improve the service.

In the Pathways to Work Green Paper, we consulted on the future of the scheme and how to improve it, so that it helps more disabled people in work. We are considering all aspects of Access to Work as we develop plans for reform.

Fertilisers: Costs
Asked by: Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat - North East Fife)
Tuesday 28th April 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 the war in the Middle East on the cost of fertiliser for farmers.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The fertiliser market is a global market, and while there is no immediate risk to UK supply, the market price in the UK is strongly influenced by international prices for fertiliser and by the value of the pound.

The Government is aware of the current price increase for fertiliser due to the conflict in the Gulf. Defra is in close contact with domestic fertiliser suppliers and is monitoring overall supply to the UK. The Government remains ready to support businesses as effectively as possible in these challenging times.

Warm Homes Plan
Asked by: Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat - North East Fife)
Tuesday 28th April 2026

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 31 March 2026 to Question 122806 on the Warm Homes Plan, what value of funding has been reallocated between projects under the Warm Homes: Local Grant and the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund schemes due to identified or anticipated underspend in the 2025–26 financial year.

Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Warm Homes: Local Grant and Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund will support hundreds of thousands of homes to become warmer and cheaper to run throughout the course of this Parliament, as part of our £15 billion Warm Homes Plan.

We maximise delivery throughout the course of the scheme to ensure that the budget for each year is fully utilised so households across England reap the full benefits of the schemes. This includes through reallocating funding where local authorities and housing associations indicate they won’t be able to spend their full budget for the year.

We reallocated £2.5m within Warm Homes: Local Grant, and £7.59m within Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund projects respectively in the first year of delivery.
