Questions Asked by This MP
Parliamentary questions and government responses.
Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
The hon. Member expressed satisfaction that the Met police implemented a stolen handset blacklist following advice, reducing mobile thefts by nearly half. He urged the Prime Minister to reclassify social media companies from platforms to publishers and hold them responsible for harmful content.
Context
US tech companies have profited from harmful content, leading to calls for stricter regulations like reclassifying them as publishers.
Keir Starmer
The Government have taken action, including a ban on under-16s using social media, strengthening the Online Safety Act 2023, and addressing chatbot loopholes.
Assessment
Did not explicitly agree or disagree with reclassifying social media companies as publishers

Yesterday, the Chancellor announced £2 billion of funding for UK sovereign artificial intelligence and quantum capabilities. The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee was told that Government procurement will adapt to encourage UK companies to develop sovereign AI systems for Government use. In the light of those positive events, will the Prime Minister ensure that key digital systems in health, defence and policing are made sovereign and retendered to UK companies, not to politically motivated US companies such as Palantir?
Context
The Chancellor announced £2 billion of funding for UK sovereign artificial intelligence and quantum capabilities, with a focus on Government procurement to encourage UK companies. The questioner wants to ensure that key digital systems in health, defence and policing are made sovereign.
Keir Starmer
We have put £5 billion behind British start-ups, and we will launch our sovereign AI unit with £500 million to help AI businesses start and grow. We are investing the £2 billion that he refers to in our quantum capabilities so that we can be the first country in the world to roll-out quantum computers at scale.

During my meetings with guests who are in my constituency under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, they have told me that they are worried about their visas running out, even with the 18-month extension. They see reports of Ukrainians being refused asylum in the United Kingdom because it is said to be safe to return to Ukraine, even while Putin’s missiles explode in record numbers in Ukrainian cities. Some of their children are working through two or three-year education courses, and are frightened of having to leave. Will the Prime Minister meet them, and me, to hear about their plight and offer them some hope in this uncertain and dangerous world?
Context
The Liberal Democrat MP raises concerns about Ukrainian refugees who are worried about their visa status due to reported refusals of asylum despite ongoing conflict.
The Prime Minister (Keir Starmer)
I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising this matter. We are proud to have offered or extended sanctuary to more than 300,000 Ukrainians and their families throughout the operation of the visa scheme since the invasion in 2022. We do need to provide certainty and security for Ukrainians in the United Kingdom, and we will provide an additional 18 months’ permission to remain in the UK as well as continued rights to live, work and study here.
Assessment
The PM did not commit to a specific meeting or address all concerns raised by the questioner.

The major GP practice groups in my constituency have written to me, detailing their precarious finances. They are considering their options as they plan for the year ahead, including redundancies, handing back their contracts or bankruptcy, and they have stopped recruiting GPs, resulting in fewer patient appointments. The Health Secretary has promised an increased funding allocation but has yet to say when we will know how much it will be. Will the Prime Minister release the funding information and meet me and the GPs to hear at first hand about the pressures they are facing?
Context
Major GP practice groups in Newton Abbot have warned of precarious finances, considering redundancies and bankruptcy. They have stopped recruiting GPs, resulting in fewer patient appointments.
Keir Starmer
The hon. Gentleman is right to raise this. The Darzi report, which we commissioned, made it clear that the NHS was broken by the previous Government, and that is why we provided £22 billion of additional funding in the Budget this year to start the work of fixing our NHS. We do obviously value the vital work of GPs and, as he knows, we consult every year with the sector about the services they provide and the money they are entitled to in return, and we will set that out in the usual way.
Assessment
The Prime Minister did not commit to releasing funding information or meeting the questioner and GPs.

I congratulate the Secretary of State on her return to her place in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. I welcome her team, too. I thank her for her upcoming statement and the review that she has just started, which address my question and that of my colleague, my hon. Friend the Member for South Devon (Caroline Voaden), about the Devon local government reorganisation, which had been described as bonkers. Next time around, will the Government include the local MPs in the process? Will the local councils be refunded the costs incurred this time around?
Context
The previous model was criticised as ineffective and there are concerns about the process and cost implications.
Angela Rayner
I hope that local MPs and councils will be engaged. I have made a commitment, which I will go into further in the statement after this Question Time. It is about making sure that we make the right choices for local areas. Where costs have been incurred, there will be conversations with my Department, which was allocated money to support local government reorganisation. We are still committed to local government reorganisation, but with people.

Will the Minister pause the signing of that contract, due this Thursday, so that appropriate scrutiny can take place to ensure a transparent competitive tendering process?
Context
Palantir won a £7.5 million contract for the National Firearms Licensing Management System, which is 44% of the expected price and without competitive tendering.
Sarah Jones
I can assure the hon. Gentleman that Palantir is not buying the job. In the Home Office we have very robust processes, which were followed in full. The current licence management system is approaching the end of its life, and it is very important that we have a good one to maintain safety.

View All Questions -->
What discussions has her Department had with police forces on the adequacy of competitive tendering for trials of AI?
Context
Discussions are ongoing about the adequacy of competitive tendering for artificial intelligence (AI) trials by police forces.
Sarah Jones
As with all new technology, decisions about procuring and using AI are a matter for operationally independent chief constables. The Home Office is supporting the police to adopt AI rapidly and responsibly, with £115 million of investment over the next three years. That includes investing in the national centre for AI, which will help the police make informed decisions.

Roadworks in my constituency are causing traffic hell. The county council is powerless to cause utilities companies to cooperate and coordinate their work. What does the Secretary of State suggest I say to my residents?
Context
Residents in Newton Abbot are facing traffic hell due to roadworks on the A382.
Heidi Alexander
The Government have doubled fines for local authorities when works overrun. We recognise how disruptive these works are and take them seriously.

I am trying to get records from the Cabinet Office about a meeting between Peter Thiel of Palantir and Prime Minister Boris Johnson on 28 August 2019. There are conflicting data back regarding this. Is it in the public interest that management of information is outsourced to Palantir?
Context
The MP is seeking records about a meeting involving Peter Thiel, Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings.
Chris Ward (Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office)
This issue has been addressed by a written question already put into the public domain.

On 20 May, I met the Minister to speak about Access to Work claims that were being denied, changed or reduced, all contrary to the guidelines. The Minister assured me that it was a communications issue, that the guidelines had not changed and that officials were going to fix the problems by speaking to the local jobcentre. The problems were not fixed. Since then, both Dawlish Gardens Trust and the No Limits café in Newton Abbot have ceased to provide Access to Work services because the system just is not working and, they said, every claim was being rejected. That assessment has been mirrored by the Access to Work Collective. Who changed the guidelines, and why? Are they simply being ignored to save money at the cost of vulnerable adults? If the Minister would like more information, I am happy to meet him again.
Context
Local organisations have ceased providing Access to Work services due to numerous claim denials and reductions, despite following guidelines.
The Minister for Social Security and Disability (Sir Stephen Timms)
I am very happy to meet the hon. Gentleman again, but I assure him that the policy has not changed. In fact, just last week we published the spending figures on Access to Work, which went up by 17% in the last year and by 32% in the year before that. I do not know what happened in the particular case the hon. Gentleman referred to, but would be happy to look at it further.

The Dawlish sea wall collapsed in 2014, causing a devastating loss to the south-west’s economy of about £1.2 billion. It was not the break in the sea wall that closed the railway for eight weeks; it was the collapse of the cliffs. Will the Minister prioritise the project to secure those cliffs, which is yet to be carried out, or will she meet me? Perhaps she could even visit Dawlish to see how important this fix is going to be.
Context
The Dawlish sea wall collapsed in 2014, causing an estimated loss of £1.2 billion to the south-west’s economy.
Lilian Greenwood
I know how important that rail line is to the people of the south-west, including the hon. Member’s constituents. We are working to determine which rail enhancement projects will be taken forward following the Chancellor’s spending review statement on 11 June. More information will be made available shortly, and I am sure that my colleague, the Rail Minister, will write to the hon. Member in due course.

My constituency is fortunate to have both Dawlish community transport and Newton Abbot community transport. They provide vital services for many people who would otherwise be isolated and lonely but, like many other volunteer groups, they are finding it hard to recruit. Recruiting drivers for their minibus services is a particularly challenging issue as anyone who took their driving test before 1997 automatically got a D1 minibus class licence, whereas younger drivers have had to take an additional new driving test with estimated costs between £800 and £1,800.
Context
The hon. Member is concerned about the difficulty of recruiting drivers for community transport services in his constituency, which affects the provision of vital services to isolated individuals.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Simon Lightwood)
Unfortunately, up to 30% of drivers who take the D1 test fail. When we are considering changes, it is important that safety is at the forefront of our thinking.

Learning from the successful Y2K prevention of systems failures, what progress has been made in considering post-quantum cryptography to prevent the so-called Y2Q—year to quantum—end of privacy? What support is being provided for the development of quantum computing in the UK after the recent announcement of the Willow chip?
Context
The question follows a previous inquiry about the Google Willow announcement and its impact on UK policy, highlighting concerns over post-quantum cryptography and privacy.
The Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology (Peter Kyle)
I am grateful for the hon. Member’s question. He will know full well that there are breakthroughs in quantum happening all the time. These breakthroughs are often happening because of the scientific endeavours in our country, of which we should be proud. On encryption, the Government have a set of policies to ensure that our systems and our country are prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the quantum era, and those policies remain active as we speak. On investment in quantum, I was up in Glasgow not so long ago announcing £100 million for five quantum hubs. That is the kind of investment he can expect from this Government to keep our country at the cutting edge.

Complimenting my hon. Friend's initiative to restart council housing after 30 years, will the Secretary of State meet me and others to discuss how we can make it easier for other councils to construct more council homes?
Context
The leader of Teignbridge district council has restarted council house building for the first time in three decades.
Angela Rayner
I commend the hon. Gentleman's efforts in restarting council housing. We are keen for councils to contribute to council housing provision. The Housing Minister will be happy to meet with him and others to discuss potential strategies.

Will the Secretary of State assure us that the crucial rail resilience programme final phase will be funded so that Network Rail keeps the project alive, rather than halting it in its tracks?
Context
The storm in 2014 broke the Dawlish sea wall, collapsed cliffs and blocked the south-west main line for months.
Louise Haigh
As we look to settling Network Rail's control period 7, of course that will be a major consideration in the next funding settlement.

I have been shocked this week by all the major GP groups in my constituency detailing their financial situations. They are all close to the edge and are considering the options of bankruptcy, redundancies or handing in their contracts. What urgent respite can the Secretary of State give them?
Context
Major GP groups in the constituency are facing financial difficulties and considering drastic measures.
Wes Streeting
I am in no doubt about the state that general practice was left in by our Conservative predecessors. That is why, in making decisions about funding allocations for the year ahead, we are taking into account all the pressures that general practice is under, as we clean up the mess left by the Conservatives.

Small and medium-sized enterprises in my constituency tell me that research and development funding has dried up since last December. What hope can the Minister offer to ensure that SMEs continue their vital innovation to keep the UK safe, and to help them turn their swords into ploughshares?
Context
Research and development funding for SMEs has dried up.
Maria Eagle
The hon. Gentleman is right to highlight the importance of SMEs in improving our industrial base and bringing agility and new ideas to our defence industrial production. He can be assured that there will be SME involvement in our industrial strategy to the extent that it is possible. We intend to make sure that SMEs, not just the primes, get a better in at the MOD and are able to get the work.

Does the Secretary of State think it is fair and right for the DWP to start action on overpayments more than six years after they occurred?
Context
Citizens Advice reports that DWP starts action on overpayments more than six years after the event, longer than bank records retention.
Stephen Timms
The hon. Gentleman raises a valid concern about overpayment recovery; the Department aims to identify and notify issues sooner, but no specific stance was taken on the fairness of current practices.

Other Parliamentary Activity
Debates led and petitions presented.
NHS Federated Data Platform — [Dame Siobhain McDonagh in the Chair]
Thursday 16 April 2026
Responding: Zubir Ahmed
Main Concerns
I am concerned about the NHS Federated Data Platform contract with Palantir, which has cost over £330 million but has delivered no tangible benefits. The platform is not owned by the NHS and lacks transparency, leading to technical lock-in and a single point of failure. Additionally, there are issues with trust in Palantir due to its controversial history and lack of healthcare experience before the pandemic.
Specific Asks
I ask the Minister to review the contract and reject extending it, as it is not in the national interest. I also request that the Government consider using the contract renewal point to work towards a staged exit with retendering for British companies to build a replacement for Palantir.
Sustainable Drainage Systems
Thursday 5 February 2026
Responding: Emma Hardy
Main Concerns
Flooding is a significant issue in Devon; sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are often not maintained properly, leading to issues such as trees growing through them and water filling up critical areas. In Dawlish, for example, an estate has problems with its SuDS due to poor maintenance.
Specific Asks
Calls for a statutory obligation to maintain, inspect, and hand over sustainable drainage systems when building sites are completed. Also asks for legislation that would automatically address the problem of how SuDS are managed after completion.
GP Funding: South-west England
Wednesday 25 June 2025
Responding: Stephen Kinnock
Main Concerns
GPs receive £121.79 per patient annually, a figure practice managers describe as unfunded, unsustainable and unsafe. The Carr-Hill formula underrates deprivation and multimorbidity in the South West, leading to underfunding by up to 800 patients for some practices. Additionally, demand has increased post-pandemic while social care cuts have exacerbated the strain on GPs.
Specific Asks
Asks for additional funding to support current patient loads and prevent further staff reductions in GP practices across the South West.
Railway Services: South-West
Tuesday 14 January 2025
Responding: Simon Lightwood
Main Concerns
The south-west relies heavily on its mainline railway as an economic lifeline. The 2014 Dawlish storm incident caused a £35 million repair cost and an estimated £1.2 billion loss to the local economy, highlighting the critical nature of rail services in the region. Since then, while improvements have been made, including a new sea wall at Dawlish and rebuilt stations, the final phase of resilience work remains underfunded and at risk.
Specific Asks
I ask the Minister to reassure Network Rail that funding will be secured for the critical fifth phase of the Dawlish rail resilience programme. I also urge the Government to ensure HS2 developments do not further disrupt services in the south-west.

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
