My constituent Suzanne is going to miss out on her winter fuel allowance this winter because she is just £10 above the pension credit threshold. As well as losing out on that vital money to keep her house warm, she does not get the £150 warm home discount, the £169 free TV licence or free NHS prescriptions. For the sake of a tenner, is this fair?
Context
A constituent named Suzanne is concerned about losing out on winter fuel allowance due to being £10 above the pension credit threshold. This affects eligibility for additional benefits including warm home discount, free TV licences, and NHS prescriptions.
Keir Starmer
We introduced a Budget to fix the foundations of this country and to rebuild our country. One of the issues we had to confront was the £22 billion black hole left by the last Government. We have taken the tough decisions that will stabilise our economy. This means we can commit to the triple lock, which means that pensioners will be better off, seeing an increase in their pension, than they would have been under the Conservative party.
Assessment
Did not directly address whether it is fair for Suzanne to miss out on benefits due to being £10 above the pension credit threshold

In April, more than 50 homes and businesses in Gosport found themselves underwater when Storm Pierrick hit; some people have still not been able to return to their properties. This has now been upgraded to a one-in-20-year risk. We have still not had a decision from the Environment Agency about flood and coastal erosion risk management funding, for which we have applied. Despite requests, I have still been unable to secure a meeting with the Prime Minister's DEFRA team. Winter is coming and my constituents are worried. When is he going to grip this?
Context
After Storm Pierrick, over 50 homes and businesses in Gosport were underwater; some residents have not returned. The flood and coastal erosion risk management funding application has not been decided by the Environment Agency.
Keir Starmer
This is a really important issue in terms—[Interruption.] Look, we are not going to take lessons from the Conservative party. Year after year, we visited constituencies and areas that were flooded because there had been a failure to take adequate protection. What I said in the election campaign was that we would set up a flood resilience taskforce to get ahead of the issue. We will do that, and I will ensure that the hon. Lady can get such further information as she needs.
Assessment
Did not specify a timeline for decision on funding or meeting with DEFRA team

Why has the government left it up to headteachers to enforce mobile phone bans despite growing evidence of negative impacts? Will the Secretary of State publish an assessment of the impact of a statutory ban?
Context
There is growing evidence that smartphones in schools are harming behaviour, concentration and outcomes, but leaving it up to headteachers is driving inconsistencies, with only 11% of senior schools having an effective mobile phone ban.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education (Olivia Bailey)
The Government are completely clear and Government guidance is completely clear that mobile phones have absolutely no place in schools at any point throughout the day. Obviously, we continue to look closely to ensure that the guidance is enforced properly across the country.

When will the AI Bill be brought forward and when can we expect implementation to address issues like intimate image abuse?
Context
The Government delayed implementing an AI bill that could prevent intimate image abuse.
The Minister for Creative Industries, Media and Arts (Ian Murray)
There will be an update to Parliament on 18 March as required by the Data (Use and Access) Act. The Government is committed to implementing the Online Safety Act with a no-tolerance approach towards AI abuses.

Does the Minister share my disappointment that local people are not going to be served in the correct way by pharmacy provision, and will he meet me to discuss this?
Context
The MP mentioned the rejection of a new pharmacy by the Hampshire ICB despite local support and demand.
Stephen Kinnock
That does sound baffling given there is demand for the service. I would be happy to meet the hon. Lady to discuss the details further.

So many of my Gosport constituents are locked into lousy leaseholds, and are so tired of seeing service charges rise while the quality of service falls. Bills are often eye-watering, and are quite often completely opaque. As the Minister said, the Conservatives passed the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act, which gave leaseholders more powers to better scrutinise and challenge those costs. However, on the Minister’s watch, implementation is painfully slow. Why the delay? When will leaseholders begin to see the benefits of legislation that was designed to put an end to a practice that he himself has described as “unfair and unreasonable”?
Context
Service charges are rising and quality of service is falling for many leaseholders, with the Act designed to put an end to such practices.
The Minister for Housing and Planning (Matthew Pennycook)
I fully appreciate the wish of leaseholders in the hon. Lady’s constituency and those across the country to see these reforms introduced. She is absolutely right that the 2024 Act included measures to enhance transparency around service charges, to make it easier for leaseholders to challenge unreasonable service charge increases. Last July, we consulted on how to introduce those measures.

Given that her job is to uphold the rule of law, would she push back against some of her colleagues' more authoritarian tendencies in view of cancelled elections and scrapping jury trials despite a 40% success rate for appeals?
Context
The Government has cancelled elections and is scrapping jury trials, limiting the right to appeal to a Crown court despite a 40% success rate for such appeals. The Solicitor General's job is to uphold the rule of law.
The Solicitor General (Ellie Reeves)
Justice delayed is justice denied. The previous Conservative Government allowed this crisis to develop in our criminal courts, with rape victims waiting up to three years for their cases to be heard. On appeals, Sir Brian Leveson recommended a permission stage on appeal which would mean that appeal claims with merit will have the opportunity to be heard.

A constituent of mine recently had successful high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment for prostate cancer, which was at Charing Cross hospital because it is not even offered to men at Portsmouth hospitals, despite being a less invasive treatment with fewer long-term health implications. As if to underline that inequality, imagine his surprise when he turned up at the hospital and found that the same doctor who had diagnosed him in Portsmouth was actually carrying out the procedure in London. What more are the Government doing to ensure that there is no postcode lottery when it comes to HIFU, and what will the Minister do to ensure that more men can access it?
Context
The MP highlighted a constituent's experience with successful HIFU treatment at Charing Cross hospital, while the same procedure is not available locally in Portsmouth.
The Minister for Secondary Care (Karin Smyth)
I thank the hon. Lady for that question and for her work on this issue. She makes a really important point about consistency of care. We understand that services are different in different parts of the country—sometimes the needs are different—but we want to ensure that, where there is good practice and proven evidence, care is rolled out. As we say, bring the best of the NHS to the rest of the NHS. I am sure that the Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, my hon. Friend the Member for West Lancashire (Ashley Dalton), will take note of that point.

The number of EHCPs being maintained by Hampshire county council is rising exponentially, but the funding is simply not keeping pace with the demand and the cost. Surprisingly, the proportion of pupils receiving SEND support in mainstream schools is going down, which demonstrates to me that teachers simply do not feel sufficiently supported to support those children. The last Government introduced the Oliver McGowan mandatory training in neurodivergence for all health and care professionals. I met the Minister’s predecessor to discuss introducing a similar programme for education professionals. Would the Minister look again at how that programme could support teachers who are struggling in some of the most difficult educational circumstances?
Context
The MP discusses the rising number of EHCPs managed by Hampshire County Council and the challenge faced by teachers in supporting those children.
Georgia Gould (The Minister for School Standards)
The Government have invested an extra £1 billion into the high-needs block, and we have changed the teacher training package to ensure that it includes material on supporting children with special educational needs. The PINS programme—partnerships for inclusion of neurodiversity in schools—is working across the NHS and education to provide more training for teachers on neurodiversity. We are absolutely aware that teacher training is a huge issue and will continue to listen to ideas from both sides of the House.

Earlier this week, the Committee heard from Henry Hughes and Nathan Young, two brilliant swimmers who are travelling to Tokyo next month to represent Britain as part of the Deaflympics. The competition has been running for over 100 years—longer than the Paralympics in fact—but deaf athletes are the only disabled elite sports group who have no access to either Government or UK Sport funding. Will the Secretary of State join me in wishing all our deaf Olympians the very best of luck in Tokyo next month? Will she also agree to meet them on their return with UK Deaf Sport to discuss how this terrible situation can be improved and how they can be supported much better in the future?
Context
The MP raised concerns about deaf elite sports group having no access to Government or UK Sport funding, despite participating in long-standing competitions like the Deaflympics.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Lisa Nandy)
I thank the hon. Member as always for raising an issue that has been raised with both me and the Minister for Sport. We are working with UK Sport to try to resolve it. Of course we will be cheering our athletes on in Tokyo—I am really looking forward to that—but we know that those opportunities are not available to all. I would be happy to meet the hon. Member to discuss this further.

The Secretary of State will know that Royal Ascot last week attracted a viewing population of tens of millions, and “Glorious Goodwood” is about to do the same. Horseracing supports about 85,000 jobs across the UK and generates about £4 billion a year for the UK economy, but the Secretary of State will know that it faces a looming and imminent crisis. When will the Government really start to back British horseracing?
Context
The MP noted that Royal Ascot last week attracted a viewing population of tens of millions and the upcoming Glorious Goodwood event. She highlighted horseracing's support for 85,000 jobs and generation of £4 billion annually but mentioned an imminent crisis facing it.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Lisa Nandy)
Let me reassure the hon. Member on this point: we understand not just the joy that horseracing brings to millions of people in the UK and across the world but the huge economic benefits that it produces. We are absolutely determined to back British horseracing to the hilt. The Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley South (Stephanie Peacock), has had several meetings and discussions with industry, and we will continue to ensure we are present, walking alongside them in order to support them.

When will parents begin to see the practical changes promised by the Online Safety Act? She stated that parents in her constituency are still worried about young children stumbling upon inappropriate material online.
Context
Parents in Gosport constituency are worried about young children accessing inappropriate content. The Online Safety Act has passed into law, but concerns remain about when practical changes will be seen.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology (Feryal Clark)
When the Online Safety Act is fully enacted in July, we will see a step change in what children can see online. Ofcom will monitor this and ensure that where such material continues to be visible, action will be taken.

While the Secretary of State is AWOL today, rumours abound that the whole Department for Culture, Media and Sport is for the chop. The Minister must see that this sends a terrible message to those sectors about how little their Government value the power of those industries. Will he take this opportunity to put that rumour to bed?
Context
Rumors are circulating that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport may be dissolved. This would have a significant impact on the UK's cultural and creative industries.
The Minister for Creative Industries, Arts and Tourism (Chris Bryant)
If we were to get rid of the Department, one of the worst consequences would be our having to get rid of the Select Committee as well. Secondly, I am not going to put this rumour to bed—I am going to bury it. I am absolutely certain that in a year’s time we will be able to sing, in the words of Stephen Sondheim from the musical “Follies”, “I’m still here”.

As the Select Committee looks into school and community sports, it has learned that the previous Government’s opening school facilities fund helped deliver sport to 300,000 people outside of school hours, seeing more girls, more disadvantaged pupils and more of those with special educational needs taking part. That fund ended on Monday, and I have already heard from two schools in my constituency that they will be scaling back their community provision. The Government talk a lot about the importance of communities and supporting young people, but this flies in the face of that, does it not?
Context
The previous government's opening school facilities fund helped deliver sport to 300,000 people outside of school hours. The fund ended on Monday.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Lisa Nandy)
I thank the hon. Lady for raising that issue, and I will certainly look into the specific fund she has mentioned. The Education Secretary and I are committed to putting sport back at the heart of the curriculum and our classrooms. We will be in a position to announce more about that shortly, but we share the hon. Lady’s vision of schools that are the hubs of their communities and are open longer hours to enable them to provide those opportunities for young people.

The litany of complaints I receive from service families in accommodation in Gosport include damp, black mould, unsafe electrical wiring and waste water flowing into homes. One constituent wrote to me that: “The overall condition of our flat is unfit for purpose, unhygienic and quite frankly a threat to our safety.” This has been going on for decades, under successive Governments, and our service people and their families quite simply deserve better. What I want to know from the Secretary of State, on behalf of my constituents, is when we will begin to see tangible differences. Pinnacle and VIVO are not fit for purpose; when will we see them replaced with an organisation that can do those repairs, and do them properly? I invite him to visit Gosport to see some of that appalling service family accommodation for himself.
Context
The question highlights the poor condition of service family homes in Gosport, including issues with dampness, mould, and unsafe electrical wiring. It demands a tangible difference from the government.
The Secretary of State for Defence (John Healey)
The hon. Lady is right; it is shameful. Her Government had 14 years to fix the problem; we are now doing that job. We have a policy in place that means that no one should be let a home with apparent damp and mould problems. There is a special, dedicated report line for those problems, and if they are severe, service families should be offered alternative accommodation. The defence housing review, which is now under way and will report in the summer, will set out plans for a long-term overhaul of these deep-seated problems, which are overdue and have been neglected.

The BBC has definitely got questions to answer here, not just on the dealings over this film but on the wider concerns about the representation and reporting of the Gaza conflict. As the Secretary of State said, Hamas are a proscribed terrorist organisation yet they are referred to as such in just 7.7% of instances of reporting by the BBC. It took four days after broadcast for this programme to be taken off iPlayer, and at that point the BBC said there had to be further due diligence with the production company. How confident is the Secretary of State that the board is providing the necessary challenge to executives to maintain that due diligence and to maintain the trust in the organisation?
Context
The BBC has faced criticism for its handling of a documentary related to the Gaza conflict. Questions have been raised about the organization’s due diligence processes.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Lisa Nandy)
The hon. Lady is absolutely right that the BBC board plays the critical role in ensuring that the BBC reaches the highest possible standards, which she and I, and indeed all Members of this House, expect. They will have heard her words and mine loud and clear: we expect them to play that role. They must do that, and part of my job is to hold them to account for what they do and do not do in relation to this.

The hon. Member highlighted that the video games industry is a significant contributor to the UK economy but noted growing concerns over losing competitiveness compared to other nations. She asked what measures are being taken by the government to ensure the current tax relief regime is sufficient to maintain the UK's competitive edge in this sector.
Context
The video games industry contributes £6 billion a year to the UK economy and supports 73,000 jobs. However, there are concerns about losing competitive edge due to lower tax relief rates compared to other countries like Ireland, France, Australia, and Canada.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Lisa Nandy)
The hon. Lady will be aware of a global slowdown in the video games industry overall. The government has responded by providing additional support through measures such as the video games expenditure credit with £5.5 million allocated to the UK games fund next year. We regularly review our tax relief regime and are cognisant of the highly competitive nature of this sector, not only in video games but also in film, TV, and other areas. The government remains committed to providing comprehensive support for the industry's ecosystem so that it can continue to thrive.

We are facing a massive increase in our housing numbers, with planners putting in applications to build across the very last green spaces, causing air quality issues and overstretching local infrastructure. We do have an abundance of disused military sites. What priority is given by the Minister to encourage development on brownfield sites rather than using the last remaining green fields?
Context
The area faces a massive increase in housing numbers and developers are seeking to build on the last remaining green spaces, which have air quality issues and overstretched infrastructure. There is an abundance of disused military sites.
The Minister for Housing and Planning (Matthew Pennycook)
We have a “brownfield first” approach to development. We strengthened this in the recently revised national planning policy framework. Last year, we published a working paper exploring ways to prioritise brownfield land release. Local authorities are asked to take a sequential approach—brownfield first, densify those sites if possible and work cross-boundary where feasible; only then explore grey belt release and greenfield release in extremis.

Merry Christmas, Mr Speaker. Violence against women and girls takes many forms—verbal, physical, emotional, financial—and at all ages, but one of the most insidious forms is online abuse. With technology developing faster than legislation can respond, the ways it is being used, such as deepfakes, are also developing faster than legislation can respond, and the use of generative AI to create fake intimate images leaves many women vulnerable. I know the Minister cares deeply about this, so can she tell us what steps the Government will take to ensure that it is tackled properly? Will she work with Cabinet colleagues to create a new online crime agency to deal with that threat?
Context
The MP discussed the various forms of violence against women, including online abuse and the use of generative AI to create fake intimate images.
Jess Phillips
Funnily enough, I am meeting Cabinet Office colleagues later today to talk exactly about how we ensure the violence against women and girls strategy is across different Departments. Without doubt, one of the most important pillars of that strategy is how we will deal with the online harms. We all wait with bated breath to see how the legislation and the new regulations play out, but we will not draw the line at the legislation that already exists, and where we need to adapt, we will.

Grassroots sports provide numerous health, economic, welfare, and community benefits. The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is launching an inquiry called 'Game On' to investigate these areas. What conversations is the Minister having with her counterpart in the Department for Education about how to work collaboratively to build a lifelong love and passion for sport among young people?
Context
The question arises from the launch of an inquiry by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee into community, grassroots, and school sports.
Stephanie Peacock
We collaborate closely with the Department for Education, including chairing roundtables and convening meetings on women's sport. Representatives from the Department for Education were present at these discussions.

What can be said to reassure RFA members that they are valued? The Royal Fleet Auxiliary is often overlooked yet it plays a critical role in our maritime operations. What can the Secretary of State say to members of the RFA to reassure them that they are valued?
Context
The RFA is vital to the sustainability of the Royal Navy, but its pay and conditions often do not match those of the armed forces or civil service.
John Healey
Over the last decade or more, we have been expecting more of those members of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. They play a critical role in our maritime operations and they are highly valued as part of our services community. We see an important future for that service as part of building Britain's defences for the future, and we are putting forces personnel and RFA personnel at the heart of our plans to ensure that we are more secure at home and strong abroad.

How many criminals convicted of rape, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and domestic violence are now back on our streets as a result of her Department's early release scheme?
Context
The question addresses the number of serious offenders released under the early release scheme and their reoffending rates.
Alex Davies-Jones
The Government excluded the most serious domestic abuse offenders from SDS40, an exemption not made under the previous Government's end-of-custody supervised licence scheme. All data on releases will be published as usual by the Lord Chancellor.

Access to those facilities is vital for mental health and community cohesion, no more so than in the small towns and villages that make up my constituency. Does the Minister agree that even in places like that we must have equal access to such facilities?
Context
The question arises from a concern about the availability and quality of multi-sport grassroots facilities in local communities.
Stephanie Peacock
I completely agree with my hon. Friend. Wherever communities are, across the country, we want to ensure they have access to local facilities. It is so important to get people active, particularly for mental health and wellbeing.

Dozens of homes and businesses were flooded by polluted water from the Alver creek during Storm Pierrick. Without urgent measures, this could be a one-in-20-years scenario. What reassurance can be given about the £3.5 million grant status?

Polluted water flooded homes and businesses in Alverstoke due to a tidal surge. Additional funding is needed for flood protection.

I welcome the Secretary of State's commitment to supporting Ukraine. The provision of military and humanitarian aid is important, but it will not be enough to secure long-term peace. Will he reassure me that if and when the Ukrainians seek peace talks, the UK will stand by them and support their efforts?
Context
The question arises from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the need for international support.
David Lammy
I welcome the Ukrainians' desire to have peace summits. The best way to achieve peace is for Russia to leave, for us to continue standing with Ukraine, and for this to be a cross-party issue in the UK Parliament.

- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
