Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
Given the PM's recent birthday celebrations with singing indoors when gatherings were illegal under pandemic rules, my constituents believe he lied to them. What can you say in response?
Context
The Prime Minister faced allegations about violating lockdown rules during a celebration, causing public outrage and questioning his integrity.
Boris Johnson
I cannot comment on what the hon. Gentleman said regarding allegations, but I assure him that this Government will continue to deliver for the country.
Assessment

The Secretary described the system as 'lose-lose-lose'. However, how can parents obtain the right school if they cannot appeal, and who has caused issues in this system?
Context
Parents face difficulties in appealing judgments of education, health and care plans which often list inadequate schools. There is concern over a lack of options for parents.
Gillian Keegan
Parents felt they were not receiving a good service. We have seen an increase in demand over recent years and have introduced the SEND and alternative provision improvement plan to fix issues.

What is being done to ensure councils and other entities involved in EHCP creation are not ignoring what schools say and are listing suitable schools that can cope with the needs?
Context
A constituent with a child having severe learning difficulties faced long wait times for an EHCP and is concerned about the suitability of listed schools.
Gillian Keegan
We have programmes in place to support local authorities, but the biggest thing we are doing is increasing the number of special educational needs school places. This will be a 60,000 increase—a generation's largest—in stark contrast to Labour's reduction.
Session: Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Forty per cent. of properties in this country do not even have an energy performance certificate, and of those that do in the private rented sector, and in the private ownership sector, only 30% are EPC C rated. Last year, we made an improvement of only 1%. EPC C is the standard, so when does the Minister expect that we will ever get to 100% EPC C in our housing stock, and what are the Government doing to increase the speed of the process?
Context
Only a small percentage of properties in the UK have an energy performance certificate, and many are rated below standard. Last year's improvement was minimal.
Amanda Solloway
The pace of delivery of the Great British insulation scheme is accelerating quickly, with the rate of delivery doubling over the past three months. We have a proud record on energy efficiency. In 2010, we inherited a situation in which only 14% of homes were well insulated, but now we have that figure up to nearly 50%.

It has been three years since we were told Great British Railways would happen. The NAO report says £1.5 billion of savings will not be met in time. When will progress be made on GBR and a date for its implementation? Should the railways be renationalised?
Context
The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers highlighted that the £1.5 billion savings target will not be met on time.
Huw Merriman
The Transport Committee is undertaking pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Rail Reform Bill. The Government aims to bring in legislation if cross-party support exists, and the committee will complete its report by July.

My constituent Mark Ward contracted HIV from contaminated blood at age 14 and now faces life-threatening conditions at age 54. Given his long wait for justice and the recent defeat in the other place that forced the government to act, how soon will compensation be paid? What specific date can I give Mr Ward?
Context
Mark Ward, a haemophiliac and victim of contaminated blood, is demanding compensation. The Government's response has been delayed.
John Glen
The report is due on Monday 20 May. The Government have committed to respond within 25 sitting days but will do everything possible to bring forward a substantive response.

When I was a young person, we had a counsellor in our school. It helped many people, not for the long term but through short-term interventions that put people on the right track and meant that they did not need more expensive interventions down the line. Unfortunately, those counsellors have gone in many schools. Labour will reintroduce them. Will the Minister commit to reintroducing a counsellor in every school to ensure that we spend now to save later?
Context
The questioner notes the removal of school counsellors and requests a commitment to reintroduce them.
David Johnston
Counsellors have a role, but we believe that a combination of rolling out mental health support teams and giving every state school and college in the country a grant to train a senior mental health lead is a better approach to take.
Session: Mental Health Support Secondary Schools

What steps her Department is taking to increase the availability of mental health support in secondary schools?
Context
The availability of mental health support in secondary schools is being questioned.
David Johnston
We are rolling out mental health support teams to schools and colleges, supporting young people to access early intervention for mental health. As of March 2023 there were 398 teams covering 47% of secondary school pupils. That will increase to around 600 teams by spring 2025.

Will the Minister reconsider scrapping the household support fund so that councils can continue to provide essential support for those in need?
Context
The MP is concerned about the removal of the household support fund by the Chancellor, which provides crucial assistance to vulnerable groups in Brighton.
Laura Trott
No decision has been made about the household support fund. This year, an average of £3,700 per household has been pulled in to help people with similar issues during a difficult time.

Wait times are 190 days for children and young people in the constituency; a mother's son waits for an ADHD diagnosis affecting his school performance. What assurances can be given that wait times will decrease and resources will increase?
Context
The MP discusses wait times for children and young people in Sussex at 190 days, impacting their ability to receive necessary support.
Maria Caulfield
Multiple schemes exist in Sussex: Health in Mind offers psychological support, the 24/7 mental health crisis line is accessible via 111, blue light triage services are being rolled out, and a rapid response service operates 24/7.

What steps is she taking to improve access to mental health services? The Minister will know that the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust does vital work but lacks resources; wait times are 190 days for children and young people. A mother in Peacehaven's son waits for an ADHD diagnosis, affecting his school performance.
Context
The MP notes ongoing issues with wait times for mental health services, particularly in Sussex where the trust faces resource shortages. Wait times are reported at 190 days for children and young people.
Maria Caulfield
Higher rates of mental health illness exist in Sussex with a 15% increase in A&E attendances. Multiple schemes are available: Health in Mind offers psychological support, the Sussex mental health crisis line is now open 24/7 via 111, and blue light triage and Brighton and Hove mental health rapid response services are also available.

What steps is the Foreign Secretary taking to raise concerns about OSCE's findings on elections, including intimidation of Kurds, with our ally Türkiye?
Context
Elections in Türkiye saw irregularities and intimidation, particularly targeting Kurds.
James Cleverly
Our bilateral relationship with Türkiye remains important. It is a NATO ally and key partner in initiatives like the Black Sea grain initiative. We will look into election issues but maintain strong working relations for mutual interests.

At the moment, many people receive their domestic energy on a commercial contract, either via a landlord or because they live above a shop. This Government put in protections to support them, but they have now been lifted, and those people are of course ineligible for the Ofgem energy price cap. Will the Government review this situation to ensure those residential customers are treated with the residential protections they deserve?
Context
Many people receive their domestic energy on a commercial contract, and this Government lifted protections that support them.
Amanda Solloway
This Government have a commitment to ensure that everybody is treated fairly, especially when it comes to the discounts and relief schemes. We have legislated to make sure that landlords pass on the payments they receive; if they do not, there is a way of redressing that by going through gov.uk.

Will the Minister provide assurances that renters will be protected and not forced out by her new Bill despite recent announcements of tougher measures?
Context
Since the Minister's speech to the Renters' Reform Coalition, 900 people have been served section 21 notices leading to potential eviction. The government has recently announced tougher measures making evictions easier.
Rachel Maclean
The Government is committed to abolishing section 21 evictions as soon as parliamentary time allows, aiming to level up the private rented sector with more safeguards for renters and better-quality homes.

Peacehaven has over 23,000 people without further education provision, high free school meals rates, and below average literacy and numeracy. Despite this, the library is being downgraded from 900 to 300 square metres with reduced opening times. Will the Minister call for appropriate libraries in large towns? Will DCMS publish guidelines on library size and hours based on population?
Context
The Peacehaven library is facing a downgrade, with potential loss of space and opening hours despite high levels of educational need.
Paul Scully
Libraries are managed by local authorities. DCMS engaged with Peacehaven's local authority to understand their plans and implications. The Secretary of State can intervene via a local inquiry if a comprehensive service is not provided.

Does the Minister not recognise that the overreach of the PKK terrorist definition is shutting down democracy in Turkey and hurting our allies in Syria, Turkey and Iraq?
Context
A Turkish CHP MP was indicted for terrorism after questioning alleged chemical weapons use by Turkish forces. The Minister is asked to consider the impact of PKK designation on regional stability.
Leo Docherty
As I have said, we have no direct evidence to support the allegations to which the hon. Gentleman refers, but we are of course committed to upholding the chemical weapons convention. I myself met the director general of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons last month, and we will keep these issues under review.

If his Department will refer allegations of the use of chemical weapons by Turkey in northern Iraq to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons for investigation.

Reports suggest Turkish forces may have used white phosphorus in northern Iraq, raising concerns about compliance with the chemical weapons convention.
Leo Docherty
The Government are aware of reports that Turkish forces have used white phosphorus in northern Iraq. However, we have no direct evidence to support those claims. Of course, we take all allegations of this nature seriously, and we are committed to upholding the chemical weapons convention.

There is only one legal aid provider for immigration in Brighton and the surrounding area of Sussex: BHT, which is currently operating a waiting list and is only prioritising unaccompanied minors. Lawstop, a legal aid provider in other areas, has applied to the Legal Aid Agency for immigration legal aid support, but has been told that there is no demand in the area. How can that be, if the only other provider has to operate a waiting list and is only able to help unaccompanied minors? Is it not now time to change how legal aid contracts are given, so that all those who request it can get access to legal aid?
Context
There is only one legal aid provider for immigration in Brighton and Sussex with a waiting list, while another provider was told there is no demand.
James Cartlidge
We are making a significant investment in additional funding for legal aid in immigration cases. I am happy to write to the hon. Gentleman with the full details of that important step change. On the wider issue of access to legal aid, I spoke earlier about our consultation on civil legal aid reform and the means test, which will enable 2 million more people to have access to civil legal aid and 3 million more people to have access to legal aid in the magistrates courts. Combined with the £135 million that we are investing in criminal legal aid in response to the Bellamy review, that is a significant investment, by any measure, in legal aid in all our constituencies.

Energy prices are rocketing but the price of producing energy has not, meaning that energy companies are experiencing record bonanza profits this year if they are producers. The Chancellor is, of course, worth more than a billion pounds. Could he tell constituents struggling to pay their energy bills what should be taking the cut? Should it be the profits of the energy companies or the lifting of the energy cap that he proposes, costing constituents £1,800 on average a year?
Context
Energy companies are experiencing record profits, raising concerns about the fairness in how rising energy costs impact consumers versus producers.
Rishi Sunak
The energy price cap has already protected millions of people against rising energy bills. On the taxation of companies, it is probably worth bearing in mind that there is an opportunity to invest more in providing natural gas as a transition fuel.

When I met Southern Water to discuss sewage discharges, it said, “Oh, it isn't our fault because we're not in charge of runoffs and there's a mixture of companies that do sewage treatment.” Is it not time to follow the model in Wales and have one water board that is publicly controlled by the consumers, so that there is no more finger pointing in other directions?
Context
Southern Water claims responsibility issues for sewage discharges, citing mixed company involvement. There's a model in Wales with one publicly controlled water board.
George Eustice
The Environment Agency brought a prosecution against Southern Water in respect of its failures, and it received, as the hon. Gentleman will know, a record fine of £90 million.

Is the Minister comfortable with these high numbers of children being turned away from treatment and does she think waiting times are acceptable?
Context
The MP cited statistics showing a significant increase in the number of children referred to mental health services being turned away.
Nadine Dorries
The short answer to that question is no, and that is why we have committed an additional £500 million to address some of the issues highlighted. However, I must reiterate that the majority of our targets, where they have been set, are being met. Sadly, in eating disorders—we are trialling four-week waiting targets for children and young people.

What recent assessment has the Department made of changes in waiting times for mental health treatment?
Context
The MP noted concerns about rising waiting times for mental health services, highlighting the impact on patient care.
Nadine Dorries
We are transforming mental health services through the NHS long-term plan, investing an additional £2.3 billion a year by 2023-24. Where national waiting time targets exist, the majority are being met. Targets for eating disorder services are sadly not being met, but additional resources have been allocated to increase capacity and address waiting times.

I am concerned about elderly and vulnerable people who might still be at risk of catching the virus despite being vaccinated. Postal votes are vital to ensure they can vote safely. Will the Minister direct local authorities to provide a postal vote application form with every polling card and ensure freepost addresses for applications?
Context
Elderly and vulnerable individuals may face risks from the virus even with vaccination, making postal votes more crucial.
Michael Gove
I welcome the constructive approach taken by the hon. Member, and we will look at his proposals. We are revising proxy voting rules to help those suffering from the pandemic.

Solicitors in my constituency are frightened to attend court due to lack of safety provisions and some have refused new cases, resulting in backlogs. Solicitors ask for the Court Service to resume video remand hearings similar to those during the first lockdown peak.
Context
Solicitors in Lloyd Russell-Moyle's constituency have expressed fear about attending courts due to inadequate safety provisions, leading to a backlog of cases. They request the resumption of video remand hearings.
Chris Philp

We learn from The Telegraph that the Minister has rejected the Ghana deal because it was a “substantial departure” from the EU deal, but she says that the Japan deal goes far beyond the EU deal. What is it? Are the Government exercising new British sovereignty to produce far-reaching new deals, or are they just rolling over and accepting the same deals that we already had?
Context
The MP is questioning the government's approach to rolling over EU trade agreements, specifically mentioning discrepancies in how the Ghana and Japan deals are being handled.
Elizabeth Truss (The Minister for International Trade)
The answer to the hon. Gentleman is that we are seeking to roll over the Ghana deal, as we are other deals, but with Japan, we have gone through the process of producing a scoping assessments. No, we were very clear that Japan was a deal that would go further and faster than the EU deal, alongside the new deals that we are negotiating with the US, Australia and New Zealand. There is a deal on the table for Ghana to agree to. It has already agreed to the same deal with the EU. There should be no block on Ghana being able to get tariff-free, quota-free access to the UK, and we are very happy to talk to its representatives at any time of the day or night.

Eighty-two arrest warrants against sitting and former mayors; 200 members of the pro-Kurdish and pro-peace HDP party currently in detention; and now even MPs of the CHP, the Republican People's party and modern founding party of Turkey, arrested—what is the Government's view on this undermining of democracy in Turkey, and how has the Foreign Secretary expressed it to our Turkish allies?
Context
The question highlights issues related to democracy and human rights, including arrest warrants against mayors and MPs.
Dominic Raab
Turkey is a close partner and a strategic ally in NATO and has Council of Europe obligations. We raise the whole suite of international obligations that apply as a matter both of customary international law, and of the conventions that Turkey itself has signed up to.

But does the Attorney General not agree that greater parliamentary scrutiny would prevent some of the wrong convictions and charges, and enable the police to better enforce the law?
Context
Concerns have been raised that inadequate parliamentary scrutiny has led to some wrong convictions and charges, undermining the effectiveness of law enforcement.
Suella Braverman
The Coronavirus Act 2020 was put before Parliament and went through every stage that a Bill is expected to go through. Any regulations made under it are also subject to parliamentary approval. There is also a sunset provision in the Coronavirus Act, which means it will expire automatically after two years, if not extended. There is a parliamentary review every six months, which will give this Parliament the chance—for example, this coming Wednesday—to vote on a motion stating that the Act should not end.

What discussions has she had with Cabinet colleagues on the effectiveness of the legal framework governing covid-19 restrictions?

The question arises from concerns over the effectiveness and legality of measures taken to control the spread of COVID-19.
Suella Braverman
I speak frequently to Cabinet colleagues on various matters relating to Government business, including measures taken on covid. Everyone has made huge sacrifices this year to protect the NHS and save lives, and most people are still following the rules and doing their bit to control the virus, but we do need to act now to stop the virus spreading.

If he will ensure, in suspending all eviction proceedings during this crisis and fulfilling his party's manifesto pledge to scrap no-fault evictions, that no tenant is evicted post-crisis by the courts if they have offered to pay, according to their respective means, a furloughed 80% of rent or a universal credit local housing allowance rate during the period?
Context
The hon. Member asks about the suspension of eviction proceedings during the crisis and seeks assurances that tenants will not be evicted if they offer to pay a reduced amount.
Robert Buckland (The Solicitor-General and Minister for Prisons)
The hon. Gentleman raises an interesting point. He will of course understand that it is for the courts to judge each individual case, but I am confident that the work being done by Mr Justice Knowles and his committee to allocate and prioritise the work that will need to be done in possession actions will allow courts across the country to take very much into account the circumstances of individual renters and the effects of covid-19 upon their incomes and their ability to pay.

Given growing evidence linking poor air quality to higher covid deaths and lockdown improving air quality, will the Minister agree to set targets on air quality in the Environment Bill?
Context
Air pollution kills approximately 40,000 people annually and many towns exceed WHO limits. The Government has previously dismissed putting targets for air quality in the Environment Bill.
Rebecca Pow
The Environment Bill introduces a duty to set legally binding targets on PM concentrations of pollutants. The independent Air Quality Expert Group is analysing the situation and lessons will be learned from coronavirus regarding air quality impacts on health.

Will the Minister reconsider our current system where people who may have lived in the UK for decades, pay taxes here, or even been born here cannot vote here?
Context
Responding to the Minister's earlier statement, Lloyd Russell-Moyle points out that Portugal and some Scandinavian countries have arrangements allowing non-citizens to vote under certain conditions.
Chloe Smith (Minister of State for Constitution)
To clarify, I said that was the case as far as I knew. The hon. Gentleman has added two further examples to our debate. While we should consider such cases and have discussions, the Government's stance remains focused on current enfranchised voters under Representation of the People Acts. Citizenship restrictions are common for national elections in the EU and most democracies.
Session: Topical Questions

Why do we not give the right to vote to EU citizens, who may have lived here for 20 years, paying tax throughout that time? Do the Government not believe in representation and taxation?
Context
The Representation of the People Act 1918 restricts voting rights to UK citizens and Commonwealth citizens.
Chloe Smith (Minister of State for Apprenticeships and Skills)
First, it is right to pay tribute to the contribution to this country that EU citizens make, have made and will continue to make in the future. As my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and other Ministers have set out, we welcome that contribution to the life of our nation, and we are making the settled status scheme available in order to further it. However, as far as we are aware, no other EU member state currently allows non-nationals to vote in national elections—besides Ireland, which has a long-standing bilateral agreement with the UK—so we think our approach is reasonable.

What assessment has been made of trends in the level of new council homes since 2010? Last year, only 6,287 homes for social rent were built while 10,000 were lost due to right-to-buy and other conversions. Is it not time to use net figures rather than 'built' figures and review the right to buy?
Context
The question addresses the decline and increase in social rented homes over a period of time.
Esther McVey (Minister for Housing, Communities and Local Government)
Councils built 26,185 affordable homes between 2010-11 and 2018-19, up from just 2,994 over the previous 13 years under a Labour Administration. We are giving councils the tools to deliver a new generation of council housing by lifting borrowing caps in 2018 to facilitate 10,000 new homes annually by 2021-22.

Kurdish Political Representation and Equality in Turkey
02 November 2021
Responding: Amanda Milling
Main Concerns
["The MP is concerned about the political persecution of Kurdish politicians in Turkey, including arrests and prosecutions for alleged connections to terrorism. He cites specific cases such as those involving HDP co-leaders facing indictment despite an EU court ruling demanding their release. The MP highlights that trials are being used to tackle political disagreements, disproportionately affecting MPs from Kurdish backgrounds. Additionally, he mentions the closure of Kurdish cultural institutions and the denial of education in Kurdish language for millions of children in south-east Turkey. Gender-based oppression is also a concern, with a significant increase in femicide since 2016 and the targeting of women's organisations. I am concerned about the withdrawal of Turkey from the Istanbul convention, which predominantly affects Kurds but also impacts all women in Turkey. I regret that stronger language is not used to address this issue. Additionally, there are concerns regarding the co-ordination of British aid and development in Turkey, particularly with regards to supporting women's organisations and journalists facing repression."]
Specific Asks
["The MP asks the Government to demand the release of HDP co-leaders, condemn the closure of the DTK, push for acceptance of the revised European charter on young people's participation, and press Turkey to uphold rule of law and democratic principles. He also wants support from the British Council in Kurdish-English cooperation, assistance for women-led organisations, calls for Turkey's rejoining and full implementation of the Istanbul convention, condemnation of media restrictions, and a review of PKK proscription. I ask the government to provide more concrete answers on how they are co-ordinating British aid and support for organisations being repressed or shut down in Turkey. The merger of the Foreign Office and Department for International Development was supposed to allow for better use of aid in diplomatic efforts, but clearer strategies need to be outlined."]
Social Distancing Restrictions: Support for the Night-Time Economy — [Stewart Hosie in the Chair]
08 June 2021
Responding: Paul Scully
Main Concerns
["I am concerned about the uncertainty surrounding social distancing restrictions and their impact on the night-time economy. The Prime Minister's inconsistent messaging has led to businesses making financial commitments based on reopening plans that may change without notice. A survey by the Night Time Industries Association found that 90% of businesses fear a delay in full reopening would threaten their survival, with many already placing orders for stock and hiring staff. Additionally, there is an urgent need to address job losses and skill shortages within the industry, including door security personnel who have left due to uncertain conditions."]
Specific Asks
["I ask the Government to provide clear guidelines on social distancing measures, offer financial support for businesses facing insolvency when rent moratoriums end, negotiate with landlords to ensure fair burden sharing, match the Welsh and Scottish Governments' commitment to business relief, delay VAT increases for cultural venues, and follow scientific advice to allow reopening with effective mitigations such as testing and vaccines."]
