Police: Pay
Asked by: Zöe Franklin (Liberal Democrat - Guildford) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that pay for police contact centre staff reflects regional variations in the cost of living, including in Surrey. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) The Government has no statutory role in determining police staff pay and conditions of service which are agreed locally by Chief Constables, in consultation with trade unions. However, the Government recognises and deeply values the dedication of police staff. Their commitment to public service is exemplary, and the Government remains focused on ensuring they receive the support and recognition they need to carry out their vital roles. Every member of the police workforce is valuable in keeping the public safe. Police officers and staff work in partnership, and their combined skills are essential to delivering better outcomes for the public. |

Life Expectancy
Asked by: Zöe Franklin (Liberal Democrat - Guildford) Wednesday 20th May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce the gap in healthy life expectancy between the country’s most and least deprived communities. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government’s 10-Year Health Plan sets out our ambitious commitment to halve the healthy life expectancy gap between the richest and poorest regions. We know that reducing the gap will require action on challenges that are more prevalent in areas with lower healthy life expectancy. This is why, for example, we are taking action to tackle the obesity crisis and delivered the world-leading Tobacco and Vapes Act to support our ambition for a future smoke-free United Kingdom.
Reducing this gap is not just a health challenge, which is why we are also taking a range of cross-Government action to tackle health inequality. This includes the introduction of Awaab’s Law, ensuring landlords will have to fix significant damp and mould hazards, and legislating for a new statutory health and health inequalities duty for strategic authorities. |
