Breast cancer survival rates have improved, but we need to go further. Could my right hon. Friend or his Secretary of State find time to join us at the drop-in session?
Context
There is a drop-in session on lobular breast cancer and the research needed to improve care for this type of cancer.
Rishi Sunak
I believe the Health Secretary is attending this afternoon's event. We are focused on fighting cancer on all fronts: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, research and funding.

The global combat air programme will be a terrific boost to our defence and aerospace industries. To maximise success, we must keep the Typhoon production lines going until it comes on board, so what are Ministers doing to ensure that we maintain exports?
Context
Inquiry about maintaining the Typhoon production lines to support defence exports.
James Cartlidge
The Chair of the Select Committee asks an excellent question, and I assure him that there is an effort across Government to promote key defence exports, not least the Typhoon. A key factor in our new integrated procurement model is the need to drive exportability. That will not only ensure industrial resilience, but give us protection against overly exquisite requirements from the domestic side, which can result in delayed procurement. It is a good question, and we are focused on delivering greater defence exports.

In Horsham we have a significant problem with car racing on specific stretches of road. Does my right hon. Friend agree that there is a role for speed cameras in deterring those activities and the real risks they represent?
Context
Car racing is a significant problem on specific stretches of road in Horsham, posing real risks to road safety.
Mark Harper
I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for raising the important matter of road safety. He is right that there is a role for speed cameras. Decisions for enforcing speed limits are for the police and local agencies. I know he has raised the issue with them.

The lifetime ISA is a positive instrument, but I understand that under its terms there are circumstances under which savers lose not only the benefits of the ISA but also part of their capital investment. That does not seem right; will the Minister please meet me to discuss it?
Context
Certain savers may lose benefits and part of their investment under the terms of the lifetime ISA.
Bim Afolami
I am happy to meet my right hon. Friend to discuss the lifetime ISA, which is a fantastic product brought in by this Government to help young people to get on the housing ladder. I am happy to meet him to discuss ways in which we can make it more accessible for more people in more circumstances.

I am grateful for the meeting referred to by the Minister. Will he compliment financial institutions trying to make it easier for their disabled customers, and would such a broader approach have his support?
Context
Financial institutions are making efforts to ease access for disabled customers. The Treasury's support is sought for cross-departmental collaboration.
Bim Afolami
Financial Conduct Authority collaboration is key. Working with the Ministry of Justice, Department for Work and Pensions, and ensuring no regulatory issues for compliant financial institutions has support from the Minister.

Ukraine needs hundreds of thousands of trained personnel. Could we not be doing far more with our allies to assist Ukraine?
James Heappey
Over the past decade, 60,000 Ukrainian troops have been trained through Operations Orbital and Interflex. Training them as formations is key to unlocking their full potential.
Session: Ukraine Military Support

Educational psychologists are enormously important. What progress are the Government making on their current recruitment drive to increase their number?
Context
The Government are engaged in a recruitment drive to increase the number of educational psychologists.
David Johnston
My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. This is a highly competitive training scheme. Between 2017 and 2019 the Department filled all 160 of its funded training places per year, and since 2020 it has filled all 200 of the funded places each year. We have now committed to training a further 400 educational psychologists.[Official Report, 8 February 2024, Vol. 745, c. 6MC.] (Correction)

I warmly welcome what my right hon. Friend said last week about encouraging research on lobular breast cancer, and I look forward to meeting the Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, the hon. Member for Lewes (Maria Caulfield), shortly to work out how we can operationalise what is her clear ambition.
Context
The questioner welcomes a previous statement about encouraging research on lobular breast cancer and looks forward to meeting the Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
Victoria Atkins
I thank my right hon. Friend and my hon. Friend the Member for Bishop Auckland (Dehenna Davison) for bringing two amazing women to talk to me about the impact of lobular cancer. For the benefit of Members on both sides of the House, last week we sent out a “Dear colleague” letter and graphics about the women's health strategy so that we can all help our constituents to understand what this Conservative Government are doing to ensure that the healthcare of women is faster, simpler and fairer.

Horsham is suffering severe water stress and is subject to water neutrality. Does the Minister agree that mitigations should be thorough, evidenced and monitored?
Context
Horsham is experiencing severe water stress and is subject to water neutrality measures.
Lee Rowley
I absolutely agree. Water neutrality is impacting on small parts of the country, but it needs to be dealt with seriously and proportionately by statutory consultees, and then with a can-do attitude from councils where appropriate.
