Questions Asked by This MP
Parliamentary questions and government responses.
Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
A small family business in my constituency was recently burgled by a prolific offender serving an eight-month suspended sentence. The man was caught, arrested, charged and appeared in court, where he was given another eight-month suspended sentence and was released. The business was offered £200 in compensation. Does the Deputy Prime Minister think that that is justice served, or is this Government now soft on crime and soft on the causes of crime?
Context
The question discusses a case where a repeat offender was given a suspended sentence after burglarizing a small family business.
The Deputy Prime Minister (Angela Rayner)
First of all, I am sorry to hear about that. Hard-working businesspeople who spend a lot of their time building up a business should expect the full force of the law to protect their property and their interests. Also, while I have the opportunity, can I congratulate the hon. Member on running Hamble Valley’s very first pub competition this year? I hope that I will get an invite. He is absolutely right that we have to have increased police numbers and ensure that they are responsive to people’s concerns. We are doing that; his Government let people down.

I want to pay tribute to the efforts of a group in my constituency who are leading the way on reducing single-use plastics. They have successfully lobbied for more recyclable plastic packaging at a major retail park, which has helped several local food producers and retailers. Would you like to join me and congratulate them?
Context
A local campaign aims to reduce environmental impact through better recycling practices and support for small businesses.

Millions of pounds were awarded to remote train stations like Hedge End and Swanwick under the Access for All scheme, but this was scrapped in the first two weeks by the new Government. Will the Prime Minister give my constituents and stations across the country their money back?
Context
Funding was awarded to remote train stations under the Access for All scheme by the previous government but scrapped in the first two weeks of the current government. This has affected stations such as Hedge End and Swanwick.
Keir Starmer
The previous government made many promises but did not set aside the necessary funds, leaving a £22 billion black hole. Balancing the books and stabilising the economy is prioritised before addressing specific issues like returning money to remote train stations.
Assessment
Did not address whether funding will be returned but discussed general economic challenges instead.

Can I ask that the meeting is arranged as soon as possible?
Context
Domo Tactical Communications, a company based in Hamble Valley, manufactures drones and communications equipment. The company is having difficulties engaging with the Ministry of Defence on sovereign capability issues.
The Secretary of State for Defence (John Healey)
The hon. Gentleman points to a firm in his constituency, and it is true that for too long too many small firms have felt locked out of MOD contracts. It is also true that the last Government, his Government, missed their own targets for SME defence support. Our new office for small business growth, which opened its doors for the first time last week, will help turn that around. At the risk of overburdening my hon. Friend the Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry, I am sure that he would be willing to meet the hon. Gentleman.

With a new year often come new year’s resolutions. Will the Secretary of State make a new year’s resolution to accept the truth that the Government will not meet their 1.5 million housing target, which he set out? Will he confirm that he still thinks his job is on the line if he does not achieve that? Huge focus has been placed on rural areas with no infrastructure, but cities—often Labour cities—have been left off the hook, so will he commit to changing the formula to make it fairer and, more importantly, more deliverable?
Context
The MP is skeptical of the Government's ability to meet their housing target of 1.5 million new homes, particularly in rural areas.
The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Steve Reed)
If the hon. Gentleman’s party had not scrapped house building targets around the country, we might see more of the kinds of homes that we need in every single part of the country—urban, suburban and rural. As for our targets, the judgment of the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, which was set up by the previous Conservative Government, is that this Government will oversee the biggest increase in house building for 40 years. That will put the key to their own home into the hands of people who were denied it under the Conservatives.

Parents and pupils deserve a school system that builds on success, not one that holds it back. The coalition Government opened 24 free schools in 500 days, yet this Government have spent over 400 days reviewing 44 already-approved schools. Free schools outperform non-selective state schools at every key stage, so why are this Government blocking more children from accessing a good education?
Context
The coalition government had opened 24 free schools in just over a year, while the current government has spent more than 400 days reviewing 44 already-approved schools. Free schools are outperforming non-selective state schools at every key stage.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education (Josh MacAlister)
There is a very simple answer to that question: the last Government left us with crumbling school buildings and a limited capital budget to allocate across the entire school estate. We have to balance rebuilding crumbling school buildings—which, as the National Audit Office and others have highlighted, were in a deteriorated state—with the need to prioritise extra school places in parts of the country that need them.

Here we go again: it is the Secretary of State’s “intention”. I remind him that he actually leads his Department and can set the legislation going forward. He needs to accept that the uncertainty created by this Government in relation to local government reorganisation, on sizes and funding, has meant that leaders have scrambled to meet the ever-changing expectations, with no leadership from this Government. Will the Secretary of State put his money where his mouth is and support the Opposition’s amendment to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill tomorrow that would ensure that local elections go ahead and that local leaders have the certainty they need?
Context
The Secretary of State referred to consultations and engagement but did not provide a clear commitment.
The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Steve Reed)
Perhaps to the Conservatives the word “consultation” means “diktat issued from the centre”, but to me it means listening carefully to the views of those who will be affected. My intention, and my preference, remains for the elections to go ahead on schedule.

With local government reform not being in the Labour party manifesto and with the Prime Minister last week refusing to rule out further cancellations of local elections, will the Secretary of State now rule out—not “intention” but rule out—cancelling the next local elections, yes or no?
Context
The Labour party manifesto did not include local government reform. The Prime Minister refused to rule out further cancellations of local elections last week.
The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Steve Reed)
I am sure the hon. Member will be aware that consultations and engagement are going on with local authorities, but the Government’s intention is that all the elections scheduled for next May will go ahead next May.

What steps he is taking to reduce the time taken to procure drones for the armed forces. I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. The Minister may be aware of Domo Tactical Communications, a drone manufacturer in my constituency that I have raised in written questions before. Will he uphold the visit that was due to take place by his predecessor before the reshuffle? What proportion of drones purchased for UK armed forces are procured from UK-based drone manufacturers, and what can be done to increase that proportion?
Context
The question focuses on the proportion of drones purchased by the UK armed forces from UK-based drone manufacturers and the planned visit to a local manufacturer's factory.
The Minister for the Armed Forces (Al Carns)
I have been reassured that the Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry will visit the hon. Gentleman’s constituency to have a look at the factory. From my perspective, we have increased our production of drones for Ukraine—up to 100,000 this year alone—and we are increasing the procurement of drones into the British military by thousands.

The Chancellor is right to focus on increasing economic growth, so will she please explain why my office is still waiting for a response on behalf of a small business to a letter that I sent on 12 December, asking her to look into the impacts of her national insurance rise on small businesses? We asked for an update on 11 February, I raised a point of order on 10 March, and I still have not had a response. Will she please get a response to me as soon as possible?
Context
The question refers to a previous letter sent by the MP on December 12th regarding the impact of national insurance rise on small businesses. An update was requested on February 11th and a point of order raised on March 10th, but no response had been received until this point.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Rachel Reeves)
I will follow up on that issue. The smallest businesses—those that employ the equivalent of four people on the national living wage—will be paying no national insurance at all from this April. Up to 1 million of the smallest businesses will be paying less or the same national insurance as they were paying previously.

Quite rightly, the Government said in their manifesto that they wanted to reduce homelessness and rough sleeping, but instead there has been a 20% increase in rough sleeping—at its highest in London but rapidly climbing in other parts of England, such as by 67% in Derbyshire. Homeless Link states that the Budget removed £50 million to £60 million from the sector due to national insurance increases and has called for a reset on homelessness funding. Where is the Minister’s long-term plan for reducing homelessness? Will she commit to seeing a fall in homelessness in the next year?
Context
The MP notes that rough sleeping has increased by 20% and mentions a funding cut from the sector due to national insurance increases.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Rushanara Ali)
The shadow Minister should be aware of the record of his Government—a record increase in rough sleeping. Since 2010 it went up by 164%. The previous Labour Government cut rough sleeping by two thirds. We have put in an additional £233 million, taking the total to £1 billion. We have provided additional funding of £60 million to tackle winter pressures. The hon. Gentleman should look at the record of his Government and face up to the fact that over 14 years the Conservative party presided over record increases. We are determined to tackle that, which is what we are doing through our cross-cutting work across Government.

With many Labour Members claiming that they care about young people being employed, has the Minister’s Department made assessments about the employment impact of the decision to introduce minimum guaranteed hours for students and young people who rely on the flexibility of being able to pick and choose their work hours, particularly those working in the hospitality sector which is decimated by this Government?
Context
MP concerns about the potential negative impacts of the Employment Rights Bill, particularly regarding minimum guaranteed hours for students and young people working in sectors like hospitality. The MP references Labour Members' claims about caring for youth employment.
The Minister for Employment (Alison McGovern)
I think the hon. Gentleman is referring to the ban on exploitative zero-hours contracts, but if somebody wants a flexible hours contract, then that is a good thing, and nothing in the changes prevents that. In fact, since I have been at the DWP, I have found that employers have not had sufficient contact from jobcentres and only one in six employers think about using them. When getting young people a proper range of choices and jobs through the jobcentre, not nearly enough work has been done to serve employers better.

Like the hon. Member for Luton North (Sarah Owen), I have stations in my constituency—in Hedge End and Swanwick—that were allocated money by the previous Government for accessibility lifts. Unlike her rail company, mine did accept that that money was allocated. Within the first week of this Government taking over, that was scrapped, and the Rail Minister wrote to me without any clear plan for when this Government will make an announcement on what will happen with the Access for All scheme. The Minister has just said that it will happen shortly. Can he be more clear for my constituents, who have been waiting for a very long time, so that disabled people and people with wheelchairs and pushchairs in my constituency can make the journeys they need to make? When will this Government make an announcement on Access for All?
Context
Hedge End and Swanwick stations in the hon. Member's constituency were allocated money by the previous Government for accessibility lifts but within the first week of this government taking over, that was scrapped without a clear plan from the Rail Minister on what will happen with the Access for All scheme.
Simon Lightwood
I can assure the hon. Member that as soon as I am in a position to do so, I will give him more information on the Access for All programme.

We can see that after just five months, the Government's target of 1.5 million new homes lies in tatters. The National Housing Federation says that the Government will miss their target by 475,000 without more grant—last week the Housing Minister said the same—and now Labour-run South Tyneside council says that the plans are “wholly unrealistic”, with other Labour councils agreeing. Is it not time for the Government to admit defeat, come back with a deliverable plan and provide the sector with the certainty that it needs to deliver more social homes across the country?
Context
The National Housing Federation and Labour-run South Tyneside council, among others, have stated that the Government's target of 1.5 million new homes is unrealistic.
Angela Rayner
The hon. Member has forgotten that his Government failed to meet their housing targets every single time. The Government are committed to building 1.5 million homes over this Parliament. Under the Tories, house building plummeted as they bowed to pressure from their Back Benchers to scrap local housing targets. We are bringing back mandatory housing targets. The Chancellor has put more money into the affordable homes programme, and we will build those homes. The hon. Member does not know my history and how I work.

Sadly, homelessness is projected to rise by 27% this year. The Government's broken promise on national insurance rises has wreaked havoc across the charitable sector, with 110 national homelessness charities warning the Chancellor that £50 million to £60 million will be lost in the sector and Homeless Link calling the increase 'the final nail in the coffin' for the sector. Will the Minister listen to that warning, and what will she be doing to convey these concerns to the Chancellor and change this disastrous policy?
Context
Homelessness is projected to rise by 27% this year. National insurance increases are causing financial losses for homeless charities, with 110 charities warning about a £50 million to £60 million loss and Homeless Link describing the increase as 'the final nail in the coffin'.
Rushanara Ali
I welcome the shadow Minister to his position. May I remind him of the record of his party in government? In those 14 years, 123,000 households, including 150,000 children, were living in temporary accommodation—not to mention the scandal of rough sleeping and the deaths caused by that Government's neglect. We are investing to tackle those issues and the mess that the hon Gentleman's party left behind. We have already announced £233 million in the Budget; Conservative Members need to decide whether to back us on the investment we are making to clean up the mess that he and they have left behind.

Mountbatten hospice, which serves my constituency and Hampshire more widely, receives 70% of its income through charitable donations. It has told me and my hon. Friend the Member for Isle of Wight East (Joe Robertson) that its viability is under risk because of the national insurance contributions policy that this Government have brought forward. Can the Secretary of State outline what pressure she will put on the Treasury to make sure that the policy changes? The charitable sector is in real danger because of this Government's decisions.
Context
Mountbatten hospice, which receives a significant portion of its income from charitable donations, faces financial risks due to the national insurance contributions policy.
Lisa Nandy
My right hon. Friend the Health Secretary and I have already had a discussion about the situation facing hospices. He is acutely aware of it, and is working with the hospice movement in order to provide the best possible support.

With the promised £300 cut in energy bills not materialising, the winter fuel payment scrapped for pensioners, and now the bus cap lifted for working people—whatever definition of that term the Chancellor is using today—can she honestly say that living standards will improve for everybody under this Government?
Context
The MP highlighted the failure to deliver a promised £300 cut in energy bills, the scrapping of winter fuel payments for pensioners, and the lifting of the bus price cap for working people. These actions have raised concerns about improving living standards under the current government.
Rachel Reeves
On the bus price cap specifically, the hon. Member will know that the previous Government put no money in to extend that cap. We have put money in to ensure that the bus price cap remains at an affordable level for people, unlike the previous Government, who just had short-term gimmicks.

The MP inquires about the handling and pausing of growth deals such as the Mid South West region one. He asks for an apology to those affected and urges direct talks with businesses to reactivate these deals.
Context
The Mid South West region growth deal, paused by the Government, now lies inactive with reports of private sector withdrawal.
Fleur Anderson
We are in constant talks about such deals with deal providers. The Secretary of State and I underline their importance to Treasury colleagues. The Mid South West and Causeway Coast and Glens growth deals are being considered as part of the spending review.

Given the Home Secretary's claim that she would smash the gangs, with £540 million to upgrade the Manston centre, asylum hotels reopening rapidly and 14,000 small boat crossings since she took office, is that the plan that she had for her new border commander?
Context
14,000 small boat crossings since Home Secretary took office.
Yvette Cooper
Inherited a total failure from previous Government with record high number of crossings in first six months. Previous contract lacked break clauses while ours includes them.

The Minister for Local Government may be aware that Eastleigh borough council is subject to a best value notice, due to its unsustainable £700 million of debt. More audits have been undertaken that show that more borrowing is taking place, so will he meet me to discuss this risk to my constituents and their taxpayers' money?
Context
Eastleigh borough council, controlled by the Liberal Democrats, faces a best value notice due to £700 million in unsustainable debt. Further audits reveal ongoing borrowing.
Jim McMahon
I am very happy to have a meeting, probably next week, on that issue.

Can he reassure the House that he is working flat out on making sure that the roughly £2 billion of funds generated from the sale of Chelsea football club gets distributed urgently and reaches those in desperate need due to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine? Does he agree that Chelsea FC is effectively now one of the largest charitable organisations in the country?
Context
The question arises from the sale of Chelsea football club and the need to distribute funds generated for humanitarian assistance.
David Lammy
This is an ongoing and complex issue. We endeavour to do the best that we can, at pace, and are unpicking much that happened under the previous Government.

On Monday, the Government decided not to proceed with an export development guarantee or emergency loans to save Harland and Wolff despite its unique role and outstanding defence contract. Will the Secretary of State use his position to continue previous Government's support and make it clear to the Treasury that people in Northern Ireland expect intervention?
Context
The question addresses the export development guarantee that was not proceeded with to save Harland and Wolff, a company with an outstanding defence contract. The speaker asks for continued support.
Hilary Benn
Harland and Wolff is now talking to its main supporters, Riverstone, about potential additional financial support. We are committed to shipbuilding across the United Kingdom, including in Northern Ireland.

Independent Lifeboats: Government Support
29 October 2025
Responding: Lilian Greenwood
Main Concerns
['There are approximately 80 independent lifeboats around the UK that lack recognition and resources compared to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Fundraising efforts have been particularly challenging during the pandemic, with volunteers working tirelessly under voluntary funding. The crews of these independent lifeboats face difficulties in securing funding, recruitment, and inclusion in search and rescue provisions.']
Specific Asks
['The lead MP asks the Minister to discuss how NILA can achieve a permanent position on the UK Search and Rescue Operators Group and commits to write to the Minister for clarification if she cannot answer during the debate. The grant that provided funding to independent lifeboats was discontinued in 2020, leaving many dependent on community support which is often insufficient.']

- - Ministers answer questions rather than asking them, so have different activity patterns
- - 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
