My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister will know that after 14 years of Tory ideological hostility and cuts, our universities are in financial meltdown. The University of East Anglia, in my constituency, is having to make redundancies, as are many others. Our right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education has started to address the problem, but we need a long-term solution that does not simply saddle our young people with more debt. Can my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister say how we can move to fix the foundations of higher education as we go forward?
Context
Universities are facing severe financial challenges after 14 years of ideological hostility and cuts, leading to redundancies at institutions like the University of East Anglia.
Keir Starmer
My hon. Friend is right to raise higher education. We inherited a sector facing severe financial challenges. Universities have suffered a real-terms decline in their income and the gap between disadvantaged students and their peers is the highest on record. We have had to take tough decisions to put that on a secure footing, but we are also taking the step of easing living pressures by increasing maintenance loans, which is worth an extra £414 per year.
Assessment
The Prime Minister did not address long-term structural solutions or avoiding increased student debt.

I am concerned about my constituent who had to pull out 18 of his own teeth because he could not access a dentist. Despite repeated promises from the Prime Minister, Norwich and Norfolk remain dental deserts. Does the PM agree that only a change in government will improve this situation?
Context
A Norwich Army veteran had to extract his own teeth due to lack of dental care, highlighting the ongoing issue in Norwich and Norfolk despite previous promises.
Rishi Sunak
I am very sorry to hear about your constituent's case. There are record sums going into dentistry and 500 more NHS dentists working today due to contract reforms that have increased activity by 10%. The Department of Health and Social Care is talking about further reforming the dental contract.
Assessment
The PM did not address the specific ask or acknowledge Labour's potential solution.

In Norwich there is a saying: there is a church for every Sunday and a pub for every day of the week. After 14 years of austerity, the numbers are a lot lower. After this Budget, many pub landlords—small and medium-sized businesses—tell me that we are not going far enough, and that many of them will go under. They need more support, and they need it soon. If the changes go through, I fear that Norwich will not have that saying at all; we will have hardly any pubs. Can we not put more of the burden on the pub companies and big corporations, which should be paying their fair share, rather than on the small and medium-sized businesses and small pub landlords, who cannot pay what is coming at them?
Dan Tomlinson (The Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury)
One of the things we announced at the Budget is a rebalancing in the system away from properties that have large rateable values and towards the small businesses on our high streets. That shift from the large to the smaller properties is worth almost £1 billion and supports them in the business rates system, as part of our work to reform business rates and support our high streets.

Given evidence that financial sector growth beyond a certain size harms the productive economy and costs billions, how will the Chancellor ensure this does not affect the Government's wider missions?
Context
The financial sector's overgrowth has been shown to negatively impact the real economy, costing it £4.5 trillion over a decade.
Tulip Siddiq
The debate on financial vs real economy growth is ongoing and there's no consensus. The UK's financial services sector is seen as a key part of future success, mobilised towards achieving broader goals.

I put on record my gratitude to the Home Secretary and her team for releasing the Home Office commissioned report, “The Historical Roots of the Windrush Scandal”, which concluded that 30 years of racist immigration legislation caused the Windrush scandal. Those now on the Opposition Benches spent three years trying to suppress that report. Will the Home Secretary meet me, other MPs and civil society representatives to discuss its recommendations?
Context
The MP is calling for a meeting to discuss the Home Office commissioned Windrush scandal report's recommendations.
Seema Malhotra
I thank my hon. Friend for raising that issue. It was a shocking report, and one that the previous Government refused to publish. I would be very happy to meet him and other hon. Members to discuss it.
Session: Topical Questions
View All Questions -->
I thank the Foreign Secretary and his team for the £500,000 committed to the Caribbean after the devastation on Grenada and Carriacou as a result of Hurricane Beryl, but can I press him and the team on the fact that the Caribbean is at the sharp end of the climate crisis? Will he tell the House what plans he has to advocate at COP29 for a replacement of the $100 billion climate finance deal?
Context
The Caribbean is at the sharp end of the climate crisis with recent devastation from Hurricane Beryl.
David Lammy
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for taking up such issues from the Back Benches. He will know that I was dealing with these matters on day one in office, and we want to take up those issues as we head to COP.

According to the LSE's Grantham Research Institute, the Government's current programme for investment to mitigate the worst effects of climate change will still see climate change damage to the UK increase from 1.1% of GDP to 3.3% by 2050 and 7.4% by the end of the century. To put it into context, that is the United Kingdom's entire social care budget of around £25 billion. The Climate Change Committee has said that the current approach to adaptation “falls far short of what is required.” Has the Treasury made any attempt to assess the cost to GDP, the public finances and jobs of failing to invest for climate adaptation?
Context
The MP references the LSE's Grantham Research Institute's assessment of UK climate change damage, citing significant economic implications.
Jeremy Hunt
We listen very carefully to what the Climate Change Committee says, and we are absolutely committed to net zero. In fact, a Conservative Government passed the law requiring Governments to commit to net zero. The hon. Gentleman will know that we have just become the first major industrialised country to decarbonise by more than 50% since 1990. As well as the costs, we are also mindful of the economic opportunities, which is why we are investing billions of pounds in our clean energy transformation.
Session: Strength of the Economy

I was going to ask a question about the shocking statistic of 85,000 people on the waiting list at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, but so poor was the Secretary of State's response to the question of my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford North (Wes Streeting) about the dental desert that I will tell him a quick story. Ukrainian refugees who come to my constituency are travelling back to war-torn Ukraine to have their teeth seen to because there is a better dental service there than in Norfolk and Norwich. What does he have to say to that?
Context
85,000 people are on the waiting list at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
Steve Barclay
As I have said, we have 6.5% more dentists now than when we came to power. There is also a quarter more dental activity this year compared with last year. I understand why the hon. Gentleman does not want to talk about the investment that we are making on the elective programme in Norfolk, because it includes funding for two new hospitals in Norfolk through our new hospitals programme and significant funding into diagnostic capacity, with a number of diagnostic centres being opened in Norfolk, which he does not want to mention.

Second time lucky. The Minister may be surprised—[Laughter]—to hear the following words leave my lips, and I know I am: I agree with the former Prime Minister, the right hon. Member for South West Norfolk (Elizabeth Truss), in her claim that low and middle-income households cannot afford to pay for the transition to net zero. Where we differ is that I do not believe that we should let the planet burn, as she does. Instead, the wealthy must pay for the green transition. Will the Minister commit to income and wealth redistribution and finally give households and local authorities the ability to transition successfully?
Context
The MP agrees with the former Prime Minister's assertion that low and middle-income households cannot afford net zero transition costs, but disagrees on the approach. He calls for income and wealth redistribution.
Amanda Solloway
The Government provide a wide range of funding to support local authorities in reaching net zero through the core settlement, grant funding schemes and UK growth funding. The Government are enabling local authorities to tackle net zero goals.
Session: Area-based Home Retrofit Schemes
View All Questions -->
What plans does she have with Cabinet colleagues to help increase the capacity of local authorities to deliver area-based home retrofit schemes?
Context
The MP is concerned about the ability of local authorities to deliver area-based home retrofit schemes effectively.
Amanda Solloway
To support English local authorities, we fund an embedded technical assistance facility, providing access to experts, training and guidance to enhance their capability to deliver our domestic grant schemes.
Session: Area-based Home Retrofit Schemes

I know Front Benchers have already expressed their commitment to local communities and local people driving our economy forwards to a sustainable transition and future. With that in mind, may I point them to my own local authority, Norwich City Council, and its Goldsmith Street award-winning council housing—safe, secure, affordable homes that it has built on a shoestring budget after millions of pounds of cuts to its budget? What conversations have Ministers had with the Chancellor to ensure other councils can drive this programme forward to ensure every street is like Goldsmith Street?
Context
Referenced Norwich City Council's Goldsmith Street project as an example of sustainable housing and asked about Government support.
Andrew Bowie
We in this party and this Government support community-led initiatives just like the one the hon. Gentleman referenced and we are consulting on how we can further support community projects. I would be delighted to discuss that particular project with him in more detail in due course.
Session: Energy Efficiency Measures Installation
View All Questions -->
How many and what proportion of homes had energy efficiency measures installed in (a) 2010 and (b) 2022?
Context
Inquired about the number and proportion of homes with energy efficiency measures installed in England.
Andrew Bowie
The Government have made very good progress: 47% of homes in England have now reached the Government's 2035 target of achieving EPC C levels, up from 14% in 2010—a 133.7% increase. In 2010, the Government supported the installation of around 968,100 measures. In 2022, the Government supported the installation of around 204,000 energy efficiency measures in around 94,500 households.

Is the Secretary of State and her Department aware of the severe financial crisis engulfing the University of East Anglia, one so severe that the vice-chancellor has today resigned? This will have a dramatic impact on the regional economy. We could be looking at up to £45 million-worth of projected debt and 30% job losses. As such, will the Secretary of State or the Minister agree to meet me and a delegation from the University of East Anglia to discuss this most critical issue as soon as possible?
Context
The University of East Anglia is facing severe financial challenges, including debt and job losses.
Robert Halfon
Yes, I would be very happy to meet the hon. Gentleman sooner rather than later.

Will the Secretary of State stop providing insufficient ad-hoc pots of money for my city and county councils and ensure sustainable long-term funding?
Context
Compared to other areas, Norwich has seen less levelling up and vital services reduced. Struggling families face high energy bills.
Kemi Badenoch
We do provide sustainable funding. The provisional local government finance settlement offers an additional £3.5 billion to councils, including increases for Norwich City Council and Norfolk County Council.

Even where guidance provides a route back to status, these individuals may still be subject to hostile environment policies. Will the Minister assure the House that EU citizens and their non-EU family members who miss the deadline will retain the right to such assistance and continue working without fear of criminal liability?
Context
Concerns that EU citizens and non-EU family members missing the deadline will face hostile environment policies, denying them access to essential services like homelessness assistance and NHS care.
Chris Philp
The Minister stated that guidance on handling missed deadlines is forthcoming, and the Government intends to take a reasonable and proportionate approach. He encouraged waiting until this guidance is published.
Session: EU Settlement Scheme

What rights will be protected for EU citizens and non-EU family members who cannot apply to the EU Settlement Scheme due to missing the 30 June 2021 deadline?
Context
Concerns about EU citizens and non-EU family members unable to apply by the June 2021 deadline for the EU settlement scheme, affecting their legal status in the UK.
Chris Philp
The Minister reiterated that those who miss the deadline can still apply if they have reasonable grounds. Guidance on how to handle missed deadlines is being published soon, with an assurance of a proportionate approach by the Government.

Will the Minister commit to ensuring that no UK public funds are used to fund or subsidise the fossil fuel industry, including through development aid?
Context
The wealthiest need to reduce carbon emissions significantly. The MP asks for a commitment that public funds will not support the fossil fuel industry, including in development aid.
James Duddridge
Certainly everybody, especially those emitting the most, needs to make those reductions. We are no longer investing in fossil fuels. Various organisations clearly have a historical book of fossil fuel investment that can be managed down over time.

What diplomatic steps his Department is taking ahead of COP26 to work with partners in the global south to tackle climate change?
Context
The UK is preparing to host the COP26 climate conference. The MP inquires about diplomatic efforts with global south partners.
James Duddridge
As COP hosts, we encourage all countries to make a step change in ambition. The success of COP26 is a top priority for the Government and the FCDO this year. It is prioritised by Ministers and it is prioritised across our diplomatic network.

Will the Minister confirm that no tests are being done on our children that have not met with regulatory approval, and will the Government commit to putting the health and safety of children first?
Context
The MP criticises the use of unapproved rapid tests on students, expressing concern about children's health and safety.
Vicky Ford
We have added NHS Test and Trace and Public Health England, and we have asked them to provide rapid updated public health advice on daily contact covid testing in schools. This is in the context of the current prevalence of the virus and the high transmission rates.
Session: Covid-19 Lockdown Safety of Staff

Does the Minister agree that in any other part of the world it would be called corruption?
Context
The National Audit Office reports that £10.5 billion was awarded without competition to firms with Tory connections, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
Julia Lopez
Every contract went through an eight-stage process, ensuring commercial sense over connections. No wrongdoing was found according to the NAO report. Interests were declared by Ministers.
Session: Covid-19 Consultants

What assessment has been made of the potential merits of including a four-day working week in the Government's covid-19 recovery strategy? Will he commit to the Treasury exploring this option and meeting with me and other Members to discuss it?
Context
The Chancellor has received a letter from Members of Parliament suggesting the implementation of a four-day working week as part of the recovery plan.
Kemi Badenoch (Financial Secretary to the Treasury)
The Government believe that workers should consider flexible working options directly with their employers. However, I am willing to meet the hon. Gentleman to further discuss this topic.
Session: Covid-19 Four-day Working Week
View All Questions -->
What recent steps has the Government taken to help prevent key workers who (a) work on and (b) use the rail network contracting covid-19?
Context
The Government is encouraging people to return to work, necessitating the use of public transport which poses risks to both workers and passengers.
Andrew Stephenson, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport
The safety of public transport workers is paramount for the Government. We have been working with operators to ensure additional measures such as risk assessments, social distancing, face coverings, workforce planning, queue and passenger flow management are put in place.

Other Parliamentary Activity
Debates led and petitions presented.
Living Standards: East of England
03 September 2025
Responding: Emma Reynolds
Main Concerns
['In Norwich, wages remain below the national average. One in five workers earns less than the real living wage, and one in six is trapped in insecure work such as zero hours or agency jobs. Rents have risen by more than 20% since 2021. A quarter of private renters are handing over half or more of their income just to keep a roof over their heads.']
Specific Asks
['Council homes, built sustainably, will solve the housing crisis in this country. Developers, not climate, nature or local democracy, are the block to building more houses here.']
Healthcare Provision: East of England
03 September 2024
Responding: Karin Smyth
Main Concerns
['The hon. Member is concerned about the systemic crisis in healthcare provision in the eastern region, including long ambulance waiting times, high rates of mental health referrals and poor dental care. He highlights that areas like Norwich have one dentist per 2,600 people and are experiencing a significant backlog in social care assessments. The MP also points out that climate change exacerbates health issues due to flooding and its aftermath.']
Specific Asks
['The hon. Member asks the Minister how healthcare outcomes will be improved while implementing previous Government cuts. He also queries whether there is news on the implementation of a cap on care costs and what plans exist for prevention-focused healthcare provision. Lastly, he inquires about simplifying NHS structures and establishing an undergraduate dental school to address dentist shortages.']
Financial Security and Reducing Inequality in the Caribbean: Government Role
08 March 2023
Responding: David Rutley
Main Concerns
["The speaker is concerned about the historical exploitation of the Caribbean by Britain through colonialism and slavery, citing a need for reparatory justice. He mentions that this history includes systematic underdevelopment of Caribbean economies, mass genocide of African slaves with an average lifespan of five to ten years in the region, and the continued impact on present-day societies with poverty, racism, inequality, and debt. The speaker also notes the Windrush scandal's negative effect on British-Caribbean relations."]
Specific Asks
['The speaker urges the Government to enter meaningful negotiations with Caribbean nations to make appropriate reparations for colonialism and slavery. He calls for a significant investment programme of multibillion pounds over 25 years, similar to EU structural funds, aimed at education, physical infrastructure, science, and technology in the Caribbean.']

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
