Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to a recent poll conducted by the National Farmers Union which showed that business confidence among farmers is at its lowest since 2010, what steps they are taking to support the agricultural sector to ensure food security.

Answered by Lord Douglas-Miller - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Food security is more important than ever – which is why we need to back British farmers to keep putting food on our tables while protecting the environment.

That is why we are supporting farmers with £2.4 billion of annual spending. This includes an increase in payment rates, with the average value of a Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement increasing by 10%. Around 50 new paid-for actions will also be added to the SFI and Countryside Stewardship (CS) schemes from summer 2024, giving farmers more choice with an offer for all farm types and locations.

Additionally, at the NFU Conference this February, the Prime Minister announced more funding for farmers. This included the doubling of the SFI Management Payment, which supports many farmers to participate in the SFI scheme, and the planned launch of the biggest ever package of grants this year to boost productivity and resilience. This grants package, which will total £427 million, includes funding for the Improving Farming Productivity scheme to invest in things like robotics and barn-top solar; funding for a new round of the Farming Equipment and Technology fund, worth £70m; and targeted schemes to support farmers in improving the viability of their businesses, delivering environmental outcomes and supporting sustainable food production.

Our plan will mean farmers always come first – with fair prices for goods, less bureaucracy and more funding as we continue to protect our food security. On May 14, the Prime Minister hosted the second annual Farm to Fork Summit at Downing Street, focused on how the Government will support domestic food production, boost innovation, support the sector to reach its economic potential and recruit the next generation of farming leaders. The Summit also saw publication of the first draft Food Security Index, setting out key data and trends to allow government and industry to monitor domestic food production, land use, input costs and farmer productivity on an annual basis.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the UK Radiotherapy Board report Recovering radiotherapy services in England: Our plan for action, published in May, what assessment they have made of the finding that "a relatively small increase in staff funding would make a big difference to patient care".

Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

Whilst no assessment has been made of this finding, the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan (LTWP) sets out the steps the National Health Service and its partners need to take to deliver an NHS workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. It will put the workforce on a sustainable footing for the long term.

The Government is backing the LTWP with over £2.4 billion over the next five years, to fund additional education and training places. This is on top of increases to education and training investment, reaching a record total of £6.1 billion over the next two years. By significantly expanding domestic education, training, and recruitment, we will have more healthcare professionals working in the NHS. This will include more doctors and nurses, alongside an expansion in a range of other professions, including more staff working in new roles. The LTWP also commits to reform and modernise the way staff work, and harness new technology and innovations to increase productivity and make sure staff can spend more time with patients.

In January 2024 there were 35,252 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff in the cancer workforce, an increase of 60.7% since January 2010. This includes 8,142 FTE consultants in January 2024, an increase of 69.6% since January 2010. There are 3,144 FTE therapeutic radiographers working in NHS trusts and other core organisations in England. This is 4.3% more than in 2023, 14.6% more than in 2019, and 55.2% more than in 2010.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to work with NHS England and with the devolved administrations to ensure that socioeconomic benefits from immunisation, including those relating to productivity, can be fully realised in the UK.

Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Department continues to work across the health system, with the devolved administrations, to deliver robust, cost-effective programmes which benefit public health. The Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises on the approach to immunisation, and also evaluates opportunities to deliver robust, cost-effective programmes that protect public health. Investments in vaccines and other health interventions are assessed for cost effectiveness within a broader framework that allows one intervention to be assessed fairly alongside another.

While the JCVI does not consider productivity and economic outcomes, the Department can still opt to consider the productivity and economic impacts of immunisation, where this is judged to be an important additional consideration, in line with His Majesty's Treasury’s Green Book guidance.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to help support people on lower incomes in Wellingborough constituency.

Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

Over the previous two years, this government has provided support to help households with the cost of living totalling over £90 billion.

For the coming year, the government has increased working age benefits by 6.7%; maintained the triple lock; raised Local Housing Allowance rates with an average gain of £800, extended the Household Support Fund and increased the National Living Wage by 9.8%. Further actions taken by the government in 2024-25 include: a rise in the National Living Wage (NLW) by 9.8% - ending low hourly pay for workers on the NLW, raising Local Housing Allowance to the 30th percentile of market rents, uprating working-age benefits by 6.7%, freezing fuel duty, removing Debt Relief Order fees, and doubling the Budgeting Advance Loan repayment period.

In rural parts of constituencies like Wellingborough, the government is also providing support through the £110m Rural England Prosperity Fund. This is being invested in projects which boost productivity and create rural job opportunities. This includes farm businesses looking to diversify by opening a farm shop, a wedding venue or tourism facilities or improvements to village halls, pubs and other rural hubs for community uses.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of increases in the cost of living on trends in the number of (a) businesses at risk of insolvency and (b) people in debt in Wellingborough constituency; and what fiscal steps he is taking to support these (i) businesses and (ii) people.

Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

Over the previous two years, the government has provided support to help households with the cost of living totalling over £90 billion.

To help those on the lowest incomes with debt, at Spring Budget 2024 the government also removed Debt Relief Order fees and doubled the Budgeting Advance Loan repayment period.

The government continues to pursue an ambitious policy agenda to increase growth and productivity across the economy. This includes cuts to National Insurance, a business rates package worth £4.3bn over five years supporting small businesses and the high street, and wider measures supporting SMEs such as actions to encourage prompt payments. The government continues to go further in supporting small businesses, and at Spring Budget announced the raising of the VAT registration threshold to £90,000.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the total cost to the public purse was of staff diversity networks in his Department in each of the last five years.

Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)

Our financial records show that for the five financial Years 19/20 to 23/24 costs recorded for our staff networks total £215, 835.

This does not include expenditure by all staff networks which may have had costs met through central budgets based on specific business cases and other ad-hoc requests during the period. Disproportionate effort would be required to identify such costs.

In addition, the Government has audited the cost-effectiveness of all equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) activities, through the review of EDI spending announced last June. On 14th May the Minister without Portfolio made a written statement on the latest findings from the review.

In response to these findings, the Cabinet Office has published the Civil Service EDI Expenditure Guidance. This includes an end to all external spending on EDI activity, unless cleared and authorised by Ministers.

The Cabinet Office is also developing new guidance for staff diversity networks. This will outline clear expectations and parameters around the role and function of networks so that they support productivity and are aligned to Civil Service Values, Civil Service D&I Strategy and Government Reform commitments.
