Animal Experiments
Asked by: Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat - Bath) Tuesday 8th September 2026 Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether the Government remains committed to delivering the Replacing Animals in Science Strategy; whether it is his Department that will be leading on this; and when an update on progress against that strategy will be published. Answered by Chris McDonald - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government remains committed to delivering the Replacing Animals in Science strategy, which sets out a long-term, cross-government programme to accelerate the development, validation and uptake of alternative methods. Delivery is underway across Government departments and partner organisations, with responsibility for overseeing implementation sitting with the Minister for Science, Innovation and Investment. A number of commitments are already in progress, including the establishment of a Pre-clinical Translational Models Hub and the development of the UK Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (UKCVAM). The Government will publish a delivery update, alongside key performance indicators, later in 2026. |

Children in Care
Asked by: Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat - Bath) Tuesday 15th September 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) introducing a "special circumstances" policy permitting 16- and 17-year-olds with specific care needs to be placed in CQC registered provision. Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) 16- and 17-year-olds with specific care needs can be accommodated in services registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), provided the service is delivering a CQC-regulated activity and does not meet the statutory definition of a children's home. We keep policy and regulatory arrangements in this area under review as part of our work with the Department for Education on transitions. |

Children: Social Services
Asked by: Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat - Bath) Tuesday 15th September 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) introducing a "special circumstances" policy permitting 16- and 17-year-olds with specific care needs to be placed in CQC registered provision. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Young people aged under 18 may, in certain circumstances, be accommodated in services registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Whether registration with CQC is appropriate depends on the facts of the individual case, the nature of the service being provided and the relevant statutory and regulatory frameworks. Guidance is available to providers and local authorities on the respective regulatory responsibilities of Ofsted and CQC, including the joint Ofsted and CQC guidance ‘Children's homes and health care: registration with Ofsted or CQC’, which sets out the circumstances in which services should be registered with Ofsted, CQC, or both regulators.
The CQC does not have a published provision directly equivalent to Ofsted's special circumstances policy. The department is working with the Department for Health and Social Care, Ofsted, and the CQC to explore how regulation can support and improve transitions into adult services. As part of this work, the department keeps policy and regulatory arrangements in this area under review, including issues relating to young people transitioning into adult services. |

Answered by Emma Hardy - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Government recognises the importance of improving food waste data to help reduce food waste and improve resource efficiency. Defra is engaging with industry to improve reporting and data quality, while considering a range of policy options. |
