Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
I welcome the establishment of a flood resilience taskforce, because in my constituency of Broxtowe, unprecedented flooding has affected many of my constituents. There is rising concern and significant financial insecurity for many; they face distress, trauma and fear in their own home. What other measures is the Prime Minister taking to improve flood resilience? What support will be available to my constituents in Broxtowe?
Context
Unprecedented flooding in Broxtowe has caused significant financial insecurity and distress for residents.
Keir Starmer
I know the dreadful impact that flooding has had on my hon. Friend's constituency, including in Storm Henk earlier this year. The last Government left flood defences in the worst condition on record. We are investing £2.4 billion in flood resilience over the next two years, and we have launched a flood resilience taskforce to co-ordinate national and local flood preparation to better protect communities and our economy.

I thank the Minister for her reply. Sixty-five per cent of teacher training providers say that new teachers are not equipped to support SEND pupils in mainstream schools, with too many teachers still leaving training without the skills and confidence to support neurodivergent children, including those with dyslexia. Will the Minister consider reforming the initial training requirements so that every trainee educator is able to demonstrate practical competency in identifying and supporting neurodivergent children before achieving their qualified teacher status?
Context
The previous answer from the Minister did not fully address the concern that 65% of teacher training providers say new teachers are not equipped to support SEND pupils, and many leave training without the skills and confidence to support neurodivergent children, including those with dyslexia.
Georgia Gould
We have strengthened SEND content in the initial teacher training and early career framework, with Ofsted reporting that SEND is well integrated in that initial training. However, we want to go further, and SEND will be a core focus for the 2027 review, as well as the £200 million we are investing into teacher training on special educational needs and disabilities.

What steps are being taken by the Department to improve educational outcomes for neurodivergent pupils in mainstream schools? I am concerned about the 65% of teacher training providers who say that new teachers are not equipped to support SEND pupils, with many teachers leaving training without the skills and confidence to support neurodivergent children, including those with dyslexia. Will the Minister consider reforming the initial training requirements so that every trainee educator is able to demonstrate practical competency in identifying and supporting neurodivergent children before achieving their qualified teacher status?
Context
The question arises from the need to address the underpreparedness of mainstream schools in supporting neurodivergent pupils, with 65% of teacher training providers reporting that new teachers lack the necessary skills and confidence to support these children.
Georgia Gould
We are determined to make our schools inclusive for all children, including those with neurodivergence. The work of our neurodivergence task-and-finish group has informed our proposed reforms to the special educational needs and disabilities system, including the national inclusion standard and the investment in continuous professional development and teacher training. We have strengthened SEND content in the initial teacher training and early career framework, and we are investing £200 million into teacher training on special educational needs and disabilities. The 2027 review will focus on SEND.

People in Broxtowe and across the country are concerned that dyslexia in women and girls is identified later than in boys. What action is the Minister taking across Government to close the gap of diagnosis and improve the outcomes for dyslexic women and girls in education, health, employment and the criminal justice system?
Context
People are concerned that dyslexia in women and girls is identified later than in boys, with girls three times more likely to miss out on diagnosis, creating barriers to supporting education and later life.
Stephen Timms
Better outcomes require early identification and support for girls and young women with special educational needs, including dyslexia. The aim of the SEND reforms and the development of national inclusion standards is to support education providers to identify and respond to needs earlier and more consistently, drawing on a broad range of evidence and expertise.

What steps are you taking to help improve outcomes for neurodivergent women and girls?
Context
Autistic people and those with ADHD have been facing difficulties in receiving timely and appropriate support. The question arises from the recommendations of Professor Karen Guldberg's neurodivergence task and finish group.
Stephen Timms
Recommendations from Professor Karen Guldberg's neurodivergence task and finish group have informed the SEND reforms published earlier this year. The goal is to ensure that schools and other organizations understand neurodivergent behaviors clearly, including gender differences, to identify needs early and meet them appropriately.

Residents in Beeston Rylands face issues with infrequency and unreliability of bus services. Will the Minister outline how the Government are working with regional mayors to bolster such areas?
Context
Residents in Beeston Rylands have contacted the MP about infrequent and unreliable buses, particularly affecting elderly residents. The MP seeks information on government collaboration with regional mayors.
Lilian Greenwood
We are committed to working with local leaders and providing £65 million to the East Midlands combined county authority between now and 2028-29. Mayor Claire Ward is happy to work with my hon. Friend to plan bus networks that meet local needs, including in Beeston Rylands.
Session: Local Bus Services

Boots has been a significant employer in my constituency since 1927, and many of my constituents have been proud to work for it. However, those close to claiming their pensions have been advised that they will be unable to withdraw their pension at an unreduced rate at the age of 60, contrary to what they were led to believe. Does the Minister recognise the frustration that many of the Boots pensioners feel, and does he agree that the Pensions Ombudsman should progress swiftly with its process?
Context
Many pensioners at Boots have been advised that they will be unable to withdraw their pension at an unreduced rate at the age of 60, contrary to what was previously promised. This has caused significant frustration among these pensioners.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Torsten Bell)
My hon. Friend has raised this matter with me before, and the one thing I can confirm is that she is a powerful advocate for her constituents on this very important issue for them. As she knows, I cannot comment on individual cases—particularly as the matter is now with the Pensions Ombudsman—but more generally, it is important that promises made to pensioners about their pensions are lived up to. Making sure that happens is exactly why the Pensions Ombudsman exists.

I thank the Secretary of State for her response and for the Government’s commitment to recruiting 6,500 new teachers. However, dyslexic children tend to leave school or education with disproportionately lower attainment levels. They are also over-represented in the criminal justice system and often have low self-esteem, much of which comes from their experience in educational settings. Will she outline how she will ensure that the recruitment of new teachers brings in those who can meet the education needs of dyslexic and neurodiverse children?
Context
Dyslexic children leave school with disproportionately lower attainment levels, over-represented in criminal justice system.
The Secretary of State for Education (Bridget Phillipson)
I thank my hon. Friend for her question and for all her work to support neurodiverse students in Broxtowe and beyond. From September, thanks to this Labour Government’s reforms, all new teachers will receive three years of evidence-based training, including significantly enhanced content on supporting children with additional needs.

I have received numerous emails from my constituents in Broxtowe, raising concerns about the loss of or threat to meadows. Meadows are critical to our environment and have been part of our natural heritage for centuries. They provide a wealth of benefits such as a unique wildlife habitat, flood alleviation and the promotion of clean air. Without better protection, remaining historic meadows and their ecological value risk vanishing beneath our feet. Will the Minister commit to including the protection of meadows in the list of irreplaceable habitats?
Context
The constituent emails highlight concerns over the loss or threat to meadows, which are critical for wildlife habitats, flood alleviation, and promoting clean air.
Kerry McCarthy
I appreciate my hon. Friend’s concerns. This is a matter for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, but I am happy to talk to colleagues as they bring forward their land use framework. Nature-based solutions to climate change are important, so we very much engage with our colleagues in DEFRA on these issues.

I welcome the Government’s efforts to reform sentencing following the sentencing review. I am confident that those steps will end the chaos left behind by the previous Government. I am particularly interested in rehabilitation as a priority in sentencing. A troubling statistic remains: studies have shown that 30% of prisoners in the UK are diagnosed as dyslexic, and there are probably many more who are undiagnosed, meaning that the numbers are much higher. Will the Minister tell me what steps are being taken to support dyslexic people in prison and to prevent reoffending following release?
Context
A troubling statistic shows that 30% of prisoners in the UK are diagnosed as dyslexic, and there are probably many more who are undiagnosed.
Nicholas Dakin
My hon. Friend is right to emphasise the importance of rehabilitation in the panoply of things that we do in the criminal justice system. She is also right to highlight the number of prisoners and people in the criminal justice system who have dyslexia, which is one of the many neurodiverse conditions in the prison service. Every prison has a neurodiversity officer who co-ordinates activity to address that in each prison, but if she wants to write to me about the issue, I would be happy to respond in more detail.

Does the Minister agree that, given the changing nature of the threats we face, working ever more closely with our NATO allies is crucial to keeping the UK secure and safe abroad?
Context
The E5 meeting highlighted the need for strategic autonomy and security cooperation with NATO allies due to changing threat landscapes.
The Minister for the Armed Forces (Luke Pollard)
Our commitment to NATO is unshakeable, as is our commitment to our European friends, especially those along NATO’s eastern flank that are being threatened by Russian aggression. We will continue to work with our friends, including: with Germany via the new Trinity House agreement; through the refreshed Lancaster House agreement; and with our EU friends via the security and defence agreement signed today.

I thank the Minister for her efforts towards improving access to driving tests. However, in my constituency of Broxtowe, I continually get emails saying that people are struggling to book tests due to a shortage of examiners. Will she provide us with an update following the instruction made last year to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency to double the number of examiners being trained?
Context
The driving test backlog is a significant issue, with constituents in Broxtowe facing difficulties booking tests due to a shortage of examiners. The government announced measures last December to address the backlog.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Lilian Greenwood)
My hon. Friend is right to raise this issue. We are holding the DVSA to account for successfully implementing the measures in last December’s seven-point plan. Some 165 new driving examiners have already passed their training and are working in driving test centres, and last year the DVSA provided 1.95 million tests. This month, it will launch an accelerated consultation on improvements to the test booking system to end the reselling of tests and the exploitation of learners.

What steps is the Minister taking to support young people with dyslexia and ADHD to ensure that they succeed?
Context
Under the previous government, inequality increased and students with special educational needs were further disadvantaged. Dyslexic students and those with ADHD in Broxtowe have faced delays and misdiagnosis.
The Minister for Women and Equalities (Bridget Phillipson)
The Government have established a neuro-divergence taskforce—an expert group that will support us to deliver better mainstream inclusion, while ensuring that we have more specialist provision for children who need it. We have also commissioned work from University College London on the most effective tools and strategies to support children with a wide range of needs.

I thank my hon. Friend for her reply. On a recent visit to St Michael and All Angels church in Bramcote in my constituency, they were proud to show me the plaque they had received for meeting the silver standard for eco churches. Will my hon. Friend join me in congratulating St Michael and All Angels, and Christ Church, Chilwell, on achieving the silver eco church award, and on their hard work and commitment to environmental sustainability?
Context
A Rocha UK is working with the Church of England to support parishes in meeting their net zero targets through grants for energy-efficient upgrades. The church St Michael and All Angels in Bramcote recently achieved a silver eco church award.
Marsha De Cordova
I am very happy to congratulate the congregations of St Michael and Christ Church on achieving their silver eco church awards. In my hon. Friend’s constituency, there are many parishes that I am sure could learn from the great work those churches are doing. I also thank her for her commitment to her local faith organisations.

- - 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
