Just before Christmas, thousands of my constituents were left without water after yet another incident involving Southern Water—the latest in a long series of issues, including outages and sewage dumping in our precious chalk stream, the River Itchen. Yet this month, my constituents face water bill hikes of 47%. Does the Prime Minister understand why my constituents are so angry about that, and what reassurances can he give them that Southern Water and Ofwat will be held to account?
Context
The MP highlighted a recent water supply incident in Eastleigh, including outages and sewage dumping into the River Itchen. She mentioned that constituents are facing significant increases in water bills.
The Prime Minister (Keir Starmer)
I thank the hon. Member for raising this, and the Conservatives should apologise to her constituents for allowing record sewage into our waterways. Our water Act will clean up our rivers, lakes and seas. Under new powers that came into effect last week, in fact, water bosses can now face years in jail for concealing sewage spills. We have banned the payment of bonuses and introduced new powers, and of course we are delivering a major review through our water commission. I reassure the hon. Member that we will not hesitate to take further steps.

My constituents Peter and Maureen have been married for 70 years. Peter is 93 and has been stuck in a hospital ward for weeks waiting to go home because a care package has not been arranged. Will the Prime Minister reassure my constituents that the social care crisis will be tackled this year?
Context
The MP raises the case of her constituents Peter and Maureen, who have been married for 70 years. She mentions that Peter is stuck in a hospital ward waiting to go home due to an unarranged care package.
The Prime Minister
I thank the hon. Member for raising this issue and the particular case of her constituents. I also know that this is deeply personal to her and, if I may, I extend my deepest sympathies to her and her family for their loss. We have taken immediate action on social care. We have already delivered £3.7 billion of additional investment. We are working on the first ever fair pay agreement for the sector and, of course, we are boosting carer’s allowance.
Assessment
The Prime Minister did not address the specific case of Peter and Maureen or provide a timeline to resolve their situation.

I recently met a headteacher in my constituency who told me that social media use during school hours has reached the stage where some schools are weighing up budgeting for and investment in schemes to reduce phone distraction against investing into additional teaching staff. Her school is trialling the use of a new app that minimises distractions by controlling access to non-essential apps during the school day. Other schools have a system of secure phone-locking bags, but they are expensive. Before the results of the Department’s consultation are published, what interim measures is the Secretary of State considering to help schools to manage pupils’ access to social media on mobile phones?
Context
A headteacher in Eastleigh is concerned about the impact of social media use during school hours and has trialled a new app that minimises distractions by controlling access to non-essential apps.
The Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology (Liz Kendall)
My right hon. Friend the Education Secretary has made it clear, with new guidance and a requirement on Ofsted to inspect, that phones should not be used in schools. That is the action we are taking, because we think that is the right way forward. That is what teachers want. I know that some schools have found it difficult handling these issues with young people and parents, but the position of this Government—that we should not have phones being used in schools—is absolutely crystal clear.

We are incredibly proud of our veterans in Eastleigh, and Veterans Dementia Support UK based in my constituency does fantastic work assisting veterans. It wants to expand its work by opening more support groups for ex-service personnel, who want to volunteer but are struggling to get their DBS checks in a timely fashion. Will the Minister work with colleagues to ensure that veterans charities can continue to do their vital work by reducing the wait times for DBS checks to be processed?
Context
Veterans Dementia Support UK, based in Eastleigh constituency, wants to expand its work by opening more support groups for ex-service personnel but faces delays in obtaining DBS checks.
The Minister for Veterans and People (Louise Sandher-Jones)
The hon. Member makes a valid point, and I will look into it to see what I can do.

Stuart, the managing director of GW Martin—a precision engineering manufacturing firm based in my constituency—welcomes the additional support for apprentice training in small and medium-sized enterprises, but asks that the Government ensure that training providers will receive adequate funding to strengthen the training available. Can the Minister assure Stuart that fantastic SMEs such as GW Martin will be supported so that they can employ more young people from Eastleigh and give them meaningful opportunities to start their careers?
Context
The MP cited a local SME, GW Martin, in her constituency welcoming additional support for apprenticeship training but expressing concern over adequate training provider funding.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Andrew Western)
I can give the hon. Lady that clear assurance, using two specific examples of the work the Government are doing. First, we have provided £725 million of additional support for the delivery of the growth and skills levy in the Budget. Secondly—the specifically to the hon. Lady’s question—the delivery of apprenticeships for small and medium-sized enterprises will be fully funded for young people moving forward.

Vulnerable and endangered species, including rhinos, zebras, elephants, cheetahs and leopards, are still being hunted for so-called trophies abroad, and despite promises from the previous Government, it is still legal to bring those items into the UK. Will the Minister give any reassurance that legislation will be brought forward in this Parliament to ban the import of those hunting trophies to the UK?
Context
Vulnerable and endangered species, including rhinos, zebras, elephants, cheetahs and leopards, are still being hunted for so-called trophies abroad. Despite previous promises from the Government, it remains legal to bring those items into the UK.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Mary Creagh)
Some 84% of the 44,000 respondents to the 2020 consultation supported a ban on all hunting trophies entering or leaving the UK. Five years later, it will fall to this Government to deliver what the previous Government promised. Timeframes for introducing that legislation will be provided once the parliamentary timetable for future Sessions is determined.

Many young care leavers living in supported housing want to increase their hours at work but find themselves caught in the benefits trap. YMCA Eastleigh tells me that this is impacting care leavers in my constituency. What recent discussions has the Minister had with Cabinet colleagues on reforms to the tax and benefit system to make work pay for young care leavers?
Context
Care leavers in supported housing often find themselves trapped by the benefits system when they want to increase their working hours.
Stephen Timms
There is a problem in the interaction between housing benefit, which provides housing support for people in supported accommodation, and housing support in the universal credit system. That interaction does cause difficulties, and I think that is what the hon. Lady is referring to. We are looking at that at the moment. We are talking to other parts of government and working with people such as YMCA and Centrepoint to look at the problem and what we can do to fix it.

Many survivors of the infected blood scandal and bereaved families are still waiting far too long for compensation. They include my constituents, the family of Kevin Newman, who was infected with HIV and hepatitis C while a pupil at Treloar’s college and tragically died in 2018. The family received their first payment last December, but have been waiting for another ever since, and now have to fill in yet another form with a time limit. Will the Minister ensure that these payments are speeded up?
Context
Survivors of the infected blood scandal and bereaved families are still waiting for compensation. The family of Kevin Newman, a constituent, received their first payment last December but have been waiting for another ever since.
Nick Thomas-Symonds (Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office)
Absolutely, and that has been my objective throughout. IBCA took a test and learn approach, and this House quite rightly held me to account at the start of that process when the numbers were lower. Those numbers are rising exponentially at the moment—that is why there are offers totalling over £1.8 billion—but the hon. Lady should be reassured that I am 100% not complacent, and will continue to drive progress.

My constituent waited 18 months to face her abuser in court, only to be told the day before the trial was supposed to begin that it had been postponed until May 2026. How are victims of domestic abuse supposed to get redress and closure when they face such intolerable delays?
Context
The MP highlighted a case where a victim of domestic abuse waited 18 months for her court date, which was then postponed again.
Alex Davies-Jones
It is unacceptable that this is being allowed to carry on in our courts, which is why we are taking that fundamental reform, because without victims we would not have a criminal justice system and it is important that we put them at the heart of this. We are funding independent domestic abuse advocates to support victims, to get them through the system quicker. We are also committed to rolling out more specialist domestic abuse courts. That was one of the clear recommendations of the Leveson review, and it is something that the Courts Minister, my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Finchley and Golders Green (Sarah Sackman), and I are working closely on to support victims, but I will happily discuss this further with the hon. Member to ensure that we get this right for victims of domestic abuse.

Recently, A. C. Models in my constituency was targeted by a series of thefts that cost the owners, Annette and Clive, thousands of pounds, yet the shoplifter was ordered to pay them just £240 in compensation. With retail losses due to theft at record highs, what measures are the Government taking to support small businesses that are preyed on by shoplifters?
Context
The MP highlighted an incident in her constituency where a shop was targeted by multiple thefts, causing significant financial loss but resulting in only minimal compensation for the victims.
The Minister for Policing and Crime (Sarah Jones)
We need to protect retail workers, and we need to do more to tackle shop theft. As I have just outlined, we are doing just that. I am very sorry that the hon. Lady’s constituents have had to suffer this terrible crime. We need to ensure that the message is loud and clear that we will not accept it.

What steps are the Government taking to hold accountable those responsible for the erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong and to reassure refugees?
Context
Constituents who fled Hong Kong are worried about democratic voices being silenced due to proposed changes in indefinite leave to remain.
Catherine West
I thank the hon. Lady for raising this important matter on behalf of her constituents. I can reassure her that the UK Government have called on Beijing numerous times to repeal the national security law, and we continue to work closely with the Minister for Border Security and Asylum to ensure safety.

Eastleigh police station was closed in 2019 after 95 years of service. In 2023, the Hampshire police and crime commissioner promised that a new station would be opening within 12 months, but we still do not have one. Does the Secretary of State agree that my constituents deserve a new police station?
Context
Eastleigh police station was closed in 2019 after 76 years of service. In 2023, the Hampshire police and crime commissioner promised that a new station would be opening within 12 months.
The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Yvette Cooper)
As the hon. Member will know, decisions about where police stations are located are for the local force, the chief constable and the police and crime commissioner. She will welcome the news that Hampshire is getting 65 additional neighbourhood police officers, who will be out on the beat this year as a result of the Government’s neighbourhood policing guarantee.

My constituency is the home of Hampshire Cricket. Last Thursday, I visited Fair Oak cricket club, which has a fantastic new pavilion and a thriving community of players, coaches and volunteers who are passionate about growing the game. In April 2024, the previous Government announced a £35 million investment in grassroots cricket facilities and widening access to the sport within state schools. Can the Minister confirm when the Government plan to release that funding to ensure that girls and boys in all parts of Eastleigh and across the country have the opportunity to become the next Lauren Bell or Joe Root?
Context
The previous Government announced a £35 million investment in grassroots cricket facilities and widening access to the sport within state schools. This funding is expected to help grow the game across the country.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Stephanie Peacock)
I look forward to attending the cricket at Edgbaston later today, and I know it is hugely important to communities up and down the country. I would be delighted to meet the hon. Member to discuss her question in more detail.

Small to medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the local economy in Eastleigh, creating jobs and driving innovation. However, local businesses, including the precision manufacturing firm G. W. Martin, have told me that the increased costs as a result of the changes to employer national insurance contributions have left them with no choice but to pass those costs on to customers, making UK manufacturing less competitive globally. What concrete steps will the Government take to help businesses in Eastleigh?
Context
Local businesses, such as the precision manufacturing firm G. W. Martin, have faced increased costs due to changes in employer national insurance contributions.
Emma Reynolds (Economic Secretary to the Treasury)
Half of small businesses will not be affected by the employer national insurance increase, as the hon. Member will know. We will also be setting out a small business strategy in the Government’s plan to support those businesses across the UK later this year.

My constituent John wrote to me to highlight the slow and weak internet connectivity in Boyatt Wood. Meanwhile, constituents who live in the centre of Eastleigh regularly struggle to get online. Does the Minister agree that all my constituents deserve access to fast and reliable broadband? What assurances can he give them that that is a priority for the Government?
Context
A constituent of the MP has highlighted slow and weak internet connectivity issues in Boyatt Wood and parts of Eastleigh, limiting access to online services.
The Minister for Data Protection and Telecoms (Chris Bryant)
I would argue that her constituents have a right not only to good broadband—if the hon. Lady wants to come to one of my Building Digital UK drop-in sessions she would be very welcome; we can go through street by street if necessary—but to mobile connectivity. I bet there are people in her constituency, as there are in every constituency in the land, who see on the Ofcom checker that they have a perfect signal and know that they do not. That is one thing that I am changing with the deal I have done with Ofcom.

What steps have the Government taken to ensure robust plans are in place in case of power outages?
Context
Power outages across Spain, Portugal, and the south of France highlight the importance of energy security for national resilience.
The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Ed Miliband)
NESO and my Department take this incredibly seriously. We were in touch with the National Energy System Operator following events in Spain and Portugal to ensure we are prepared.

My constituents in Eastleigh who support and help to care for disabled family members are desperately concerned about any potential cuts to benefits, including personal independent payment. They include Laura, whose son is registered blind, and Debbie, who helps to care for her disabled daughter and is herself disabled. Can the Minister reassure my constituents that disability benefits for people who are unable to work will not be cut?
Context
The MP mentions specific constituents who rely on disability benefits, including Laura and Debbie, expressing concerns about potential cuts.
The Minister for Social Security and Disability (Sir Stephen Timms)
I am concerned about the level of anxiety and speculation that has been around over recent weeks. I am sad that that has happened and that people have been concerned, but the current welfare system is failing the very people it is supposed to help—the people it is there for. Our aim is to make the system sustainable so that it will be there for people now and in the future. When the hon. Lady sees the proposals, I think she will see how we will deliver on that commitment.

The previous Government launched a pilot scheme to provide free sentencing remarks to victims of sexual violence. However, thousands of eligible survivors only found out about it months after it started. Poor communication meant that victims missed out on the opportunity for some closure. Will the Justice Secretary confirm whether the pilot has been properly evaluated, whether its findings will be made public, and what steps will be taken to improve awareness and accessibility for those who need to use the scheme?
Context
The previous government launched a pilot to provide free sentencing remarks to victims of sexual violence, but communication issues resulted in many eligible survivors missing out on the opportunity. The scheme has since been expanded.
Sarah Sackman (Minister of State, Ministry of Justice)
The hon. Member is absolutely right that initially there was not enough uptake. The Government acted to drum up awareness of the scheme precisely because we want to test its effectiveness for victims of rape and serious sexual offences. I reassure her that application numbers are up. We are conducting the evaluation, and once we have the results, we will be able to test whether we can implement the scheme in the future.

Our travel, tourism and hospitality sectors continue to face huge challenges, yet the Home Office’s own impact assessment of the 60% increase in electronic travel authorisation fees concluded that it could reduce the number of tourists wanting to come here and result in a loss of revenue to the wider economy of £734.7 million over five years. If the Government are to succeed in achieving the inbound tourism target of 50 million by 2030, would an agreement between the EU and the UK to facilitate easier travel not be a good place to start?
Context
The Home Office’s impact assessment indicates a potential reduction in the number of tourists and a loss of £734.7 million over five years due to increased ETAs.
The Minister for Creative Industries, Arts and Tourism (Chris Bryant)
We are absolutely determined to reach our goal of 50 million international visitors to the UK by 2030. We have produced a video entitled 'Starring GREAT Britain', which includes film clips from James Bond, Tom Cruise and many others, to promote tourism. We will work with the Home Office to mitigate any issues that may arise.

According to the National Audit Office’s report published on Friday, the epidemic of violence against women and girls is getting worse, and current prevention activities have largely focused on reducing reoffending rather than avoiding initial offences. In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, which includes my Eastleigh constituency, 39,221 domestic abuse incidents and crimes were recorded from April 2023 to March 2024. Following recent tragic events, what measures is the Minister taking to encourage prevention and foster the cultural change necessary to keep women and girls safe?
Context
The National Audit Office's report published on Friday indicated that the epidemic of violence against women and girls is worsening, with prevention activities focusing more on reducing reoffending than avoiding initial offences. In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, 39,221 domestic abuse incidents and crimes were recorded from April 2023 to March 2024.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Jess Phillips)
I thank the hon. Lady, and I am sure the entire House agrees with the tone with which she speaks about domestic abuse in her area. The National Audit Office wrote what, frankly, can only be considered to be a damning indictment of the previous Government’s violence against women and girls strategy. We will do everything we can to ensure prevention, both through education and with those who perpetrate, which will be a fundamental part of our strategy. Unlike previous strategies, we will actually do it.

According to the End Child Poverty coalition, in my constituency of Eastleigh the child poverty rate after housing costs was 21% in 2022-23. Analysis by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation projects that child poverty in England will rise to 31.5% by 2029. Every day without action pushes more children into hardship, and they cannot wait for the Government’s strategy to be published. What urgent measures will the Government take now to prevent more children from growing up in poverty?
Context
The End Child Poverty coalition reported a 21% child poverty rate in Eastleigh after housing costs in 2022-23. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation projects that the child poverty rate will rise to 31.5% by 2029.
The Minister for Employment (Alison McGovern)
The hon. Lady is absolutely right: this issue is urgent. That was why in the Budget the Chancellor announced the fair repayment rate, which stops families having to deal with so much debt through the universal credit system, saving families over £400 a year. We know we have to go further and that is why Ministers are working hard to bring forward our child poverty strategy.

The victims of the infected blood scandal, including those from my constituency who attended Treloar college in Hampshire, have been fighting for justice for decades. They have raised deep concerns about the slow progress of compensation payments; the Infected Blood Compensation Authority projects that by the end of March just 250 people will have been offered compensation. Will the Government accelerate the roll-out of the compensation scheme to ensure that victims see justice within their lifetimes?
Context
The Infected Blood Compensation Authority projects that by the end of March only a small number of people will have been offered compensation.
Nick Thomas-Symonds (Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office)
I am restless for progress on the speed of payments, and I will do everything in my gift as a Minister to lay the regulations before this House speedily. IBCA is obviously operationally independent and—I was having this discussion yesterday in Newcastle—the test and learn approach that it uses, which starts with a representative sample of cases, will allow it to ramp up delivery.

Other Parliamentary Activity
Debates led and petitions presented.
Dementia Support: Hampshire
21 January 2026
Responding: Stephen Kinnock
Main Concerns
['One in three people born today will develop dementia, and across Hampshire more than 22,000 people are currently living with dementia. In Eastleigh alone, approximately 1.41% of the local population is living with dementia, higher than the national average. The average wait time for a dementia diagnosis in Eastleigh is 91.7 days, and post-diagnostic support is inconsistent.']
Specific Asks
['Liz Jarvis asks for more support to stay at home and more support in the community, and family carers should be informed about available support and given greater access to regular respite. She urges the Government to meet with Alzheimer’s Research UK to discuss its call for an 18-week target from referral by GP to diagnosis.']
Free School Meals
18 March 2025
Responding: Stephen Morgan
Main Concerns
['The number of children in the UK going to school hungry is unacceptable, impacting families in Eastleigh and across the UK. The Government’s figures estimate that 4.3 million children or 30% are living in poverty, with 18.5% entitled to free school meals in Eastleigh alone but many more missing out due to strict eligibility criteria.']
Specific Asks
['The Government must urgently look at the issue of funding for free school meals and breakfast clubs and increase the threshold for eligibility from £7,400 a year after tax and benefits to £20,000.']
Hospitality Sector: Eastleigh
04 December 2024
Responding: Gareth Thomas
Main Concerns
["Hospitality businesses in Eastleigh are facing significant challenges due to rising costs, including £3,000 per week heating expenses for Lorraine's pub. The sector employs 1,805 people and generates £114 million annually but is under pressure from increased employer national insurance contributions and reduced business rates relief, leading to unsustainable costs for businesses operating on razor-thin margins. With 2,704 hospitality businesses going into insolvency last year, the situation is critical."]
Specific Asks
['The Government must provide specific steps to support energy cost management and debt recovery for hospitality businesses, reverse employer national insurance contribution increases, and reform business rates to encourage investment in buildings and infrastructure.']

Important Context
- - 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
