Parliamentary questions and government responses.
Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
VE Day marked the end of horror in Europe. Afterwards, our post-war expansion of welfare benefits was something truly principled from Labour. Given the real fear felt by disabled people in Brighton Pavilion and across the nation, does the Prime Minister agree that now is the time to be principled again and restore their support, not make his MPs vote to restrict it?
Context
The Prime Minister's government is making MPs vote on restrictions to support provided to disabled individuals.
The Prime Minister (Keir Starmer)
I thank the hon. Lady for raising the record of the post-war Labour Government—a great reforming Government. The principles remain the same: those who need support and protection should have that support and protection, those who can be supported and helped into work should be helped and supported into work—something that is not happening under the system as it is—and those who can work should work.

The MP asked if the Secretary of State would help her win the Chancellor's support for a dedicated “buy the supply” fund for councils to acquire new council housing.
Context
Many councils, especially Brighton and Hove, are acquiring new market homes for social and affordable housing.
Matthew Pennycook
Funding is already available for councils to acquire new market homes for social and affordable housing through our social and affordable homes programme. They can obviously also rely on section 106 contributions and the local authority housing fund, the fourth round of which makes £950 million available for councils to acquire homes for better-quality temporary accommodation.

The Secretary of State's new third road investment strategy requires a reduction of only 7.5% in the number of people killed or seriously injured on the strategic road network by 2031, yet meeting the 2035 target in the road safety strategy requires a reduction of about 55% across England's roads by that date. That means National Highways can get away with doing almost nothing, while local authorities are left to make up the difference. How can the Minister justify handing £27 billion to this failing body, while councils across the country are crying out for funds to make everyday walking and cycling safer?
Context
The MP is concerned about the third road investment strategy's target for reducing road danger, noting that it does not align with the wider national goal of reducing KSIs.
Simon Lightwood
Motorways are already among the safest roads in the country. The number of KSIs on motorways in 2024 represented 3% of the total for England, despite motorways carrying over a fifth of all road traffic. The target reflects that. The approach is challenging but realistic, focused on what National Highways can directly deliver over this period. Of course, that sits alongside wider action in the road safety strategy to dramatically reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries across all roads in Great Britain.
Session: Road Investment Strategy 3 Reducing Danger

What steps she is taking to reduce road danger through the third road investment strategy. She noted that the strategy focuses on safety but wants specific actions and commitments.
Context
The MP is concerned about the third road investment strategy's impact on reducing road danger.
Simon Lightwood
Safety is at the heart of the third road investment strategy, which includes a new national programme to deliver targeted safety improvements on higher-risk roads. It also sets National Highways a challenging target to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on our motorways and major A roads, aligning with our overall target of reducing the number of KSIs on British roads by 65% by 2035.

Last month, a national newspaper intruded on the privacy of one of the families bereaved by the meningitis outbreak, publishing information that the family had asked to be kept private. In opposition, Labour promised independent regulation of the press to curb this awful behaviour, so when exactly will the Secretary of State keep that promise?
Context
A national newspaper intruded on a bereaved family's privacy during a meningitis outbreak. The question seeks to hold the government accountable for its promise of independent press regulation.
Ian Murray
The Government will tread carefully and cautiously about regulation. Fearless journalists must hold the Government to account, but there are concerns over media trust issues. The Secretary of State is willing to meet to discuss such issues. Trends in media consumption are closely followed. In an age of misinformation and disinformation, we want to get this right.

What steps her Department is taking to help protect the public from press malpractice?
Context
The question addresses incidents of undue attention and harassment from the media causing distress to the public. It seeks specific steps being taken by the Department.
Ian Murray
We recognise incidents of undue attention and harassment causing distress. We defend media freedom but with responsibilities. Publishers must operate ethically and within the law. The Secretary of State has met families who experienced press intrusion. We are carefully considering next steps to ensure public trust in news media.

Including prestigious Chevening scholarships in the Government's clampdown on certain study visas is devastating for those who have been shortlisted, including students who are set to join our world-leading programmes at Sussex University. It raises questions about the value that the Government put on nurturing talent, particularly for women from Afghanistan, from whom I have seen heartbreaking accounts of terminated applications. Will the Minister and the Home Secretary urgently revisit that decision?
Context
Concerns raised about the impact of including prestigious Chevening scholarships in the Government's clampdown on certain study visas, particularly affecting students from Afghanistan.
Mike Tapp
I have laid out the concerns, and the reasons for this brake. For example, 93% of those coming over from Afghanistan as students are claiming asylum. The Green party may well want open borders; that is not what we stand for. We stand for control and order, but, at the same time, compassion. That is exactly why we are looking at safe and legal routes, while working to control the borders.
Session: Visa Brake Chevening Scholars
View All Questions -->
What discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the potential impact of the introduction of the visa brake on Chevening scholars. Chevening scholarships continue to attract and support exceptional future leaders across the globe, but introducing the visa brake raises concerns about its impact.
Context
Discussions about the visa brake's potential impact on Chevening scholars, a programme supporting exceptional future leaders globally.
Mike Tapp
We have discussed the introduction of visa brakes across Government, including the impact on Chevening scholars. Chevening scholarships continue to attract and support exceptional future leaders across the globe, and will continue to do so. Restoring order and control to our system is a top priority. Through the visa brake we are acting quickly and decisively to address high numbers and proportions of visa-linked asylum claims.

I published the Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill, also known as Ella's law, this month. Does the Minister agree that the Government should include this vital legislation in the upcoming King's Speech?
Context
The Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill, also known as Ella's law, was published this month alongside various organisations. It aims to affirm that the right to breathe clean air is a fundamental human right.
Emma Hardy
I support the objectives of improving air quality and cleaning up air pollution, as it is important for public health. However, no specific mention was made about including Ella's law in the King's Speech.
Session: Air Pollution
View All Questions -->
What steps she is taking to help reduce air pollution. Communities across England are affected by fine particulate pollution linked to asthma, lung conditions, and heart disease. How will the government modernise industrial permitting, explore tighter standards for new wood-burning appliances, and increase communication of air-quality information?
Context
The question arises from the ongoing efforts to reduce air pollution in London and across England, highlighting its impact on public health.
Emma Hardy
The communities across England will benefit from cleaner air due to our actions on fine particulate pollution. We are taking measures such as modernising industrial permitting, exploring tighter standards for new wood-burning appliances, and increasing communication of air-quality information.

Despite all that President Trump is doing to wreck global stability, our Government still spend billions a year on digital technology contracts, including with US tech giants. Will the Secretary of State immediately put together a UK digital sovereignty strategy to build our resilience and security, as France and Germany are doing?
Context
Concerns raised about UK's reliance on US tech giants and the need for a resilience-focused digital strategy.
The Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology (Liz Kendall)
We are already investing £500 million in our sovereign AI unit to back our brilliant AI entrepreneurs and start-ups, because we believe more competition in this area is good for Britain and good for the world.

I am concerned about the real harm and suffering caused by the Government's escalation of charges against protesters. Incarcerating individuals for months or years without trial for political offences is unacceptable in a democracy. Does he agree that such practices should not exist?
Context
The question addresses concerns about the prolonged remands of people charged with protest-related crimes, which are seen as politically motivated.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Jake Richards)
I acknowledge issues with remand length caused by court backlogs. The Government aims to address this, and I expect the hon. Lady's Green Party colleagues to support our proposals in the near future.

Brighton and Hove has excellent energy co-ops and many church roofs, so what is the Church doing to bring together clergy, congregations and co-ops to make more solar projects viable? Can the commissioners reduce planning risks for listed churches by adding more weight, perhaps through guidance or strategies, to their visible leadership role in communities?
Context
The Church of England has committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2030 and is supporting solar installations on churches and cathedrals.
Alan Campbell
The hon. Lady’s local churches are leading the way in reducing long-term running costs through the installation of modern heating and lighting, as seen with St Bartholomew's church in Brighton. Grants for solar panels are available via diocesan schemes alongside technical support and match funding initiatives. However, the main obstacle to faster installation is civil planning authorities that focus on protecting the look and feel of buildings rather than ensuring they can pay for themselves.

Grassroots music venues are a vital part of the heart, soul and economy of Brighton Pavilion. Treasury Ministers have admitted that fairer business rates valuation methods are not currently used for many of these businesses—my local venues are calling the burdens punitive and a threat to viability. Will the Chancellor assure me that she will not forget grassroots music venues in her Budget?
Context
Small businesses in Brighton Pavilion are facing challenges with business rates, particularly grassroots music venues which feel the burden is punitive and threatens their viability. Treasury Ministers have acknowledged that fairer valuation methods for these venues are not currently used.
James Murray (Chief Secretary to the Treasury)
We very much recognise the role that grassroots music venues play in constituencies right across our country. In our reforms, on which we will set out more detail at the Budget on 26 November, we will have permanently lower business rates for retail, hospitality and leisure premises, with rateable values below £500,000.

Will the Secretary of State commit to writing a formal response to me on the recommendations in those reports?

As drug-related deaths are now at record levels, particularly because of the increase in synthetic opioids, I believe that we need to look again at supervised drug-consumption facilities, which are an evidence-based intervention that could save lives and public spending. Both the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs and the Health and Social Care Committee support the idea. Will the Solicitor General consider facilitating a legal mechanism here, as in Scotland under the Lord Advocate, to enable local health and police authorities that wish to pilot such facilities to establish their efficacy to do so?
Context
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs highlighted the Government’s safer streets mission in a recent report. Drug-related deaths are at record levels due to synthetic opioids.
The Solicitor General
It is absolutely right that we ensure that those who fall into drug addiction are able to access adequate support, services and routes to rehabilitation. As my right hon. Friend the Minister for Policing said to the Scottish Affairs Committee recently, the Government do not have plans to amend the law to permit the introduction of drug-consumption facilities. We are clear, however, that drug deaths are avoidable, and we are committed to supporting more people into recovery so that they can live healthier and longer lives.

I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. I understand that Ministers are focused on wider marriage reform, but there is a much quicker and simpler process by which to enable humanist marriages, which is to act on the High Court ruling of 2020 that the current law is discriminatory. Will Ministers therefore lay an order so that humanist couples and celebrants can have legal recognition for their ceremonies in line with their beliefs, the same as their religious counterparts?
Context
Humanists have been campaigning to conduct legally binding weddings. A High Court ruling in 2020 found that the current law is discriminatory against humanist celebrants.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Alex Davies-Jones)
No one will be more excited to don a hat for the first legally binding humanist wedding than me. However, we must consider whether legislating to provide for humanist marriage would introduce further differential treatment in this complex area of law. That is why we need to make sure that we take the time to get this right. It would also not address other issues in marriage law that affect all groups. As a responsible Government, we have to consider this before we set out our position.

What recent progress has been made on helping to secure the release of Alaa Abd el-Fattah? His mother is now not taking food for seven months. I met her recently and she is extremely frail. Does the Minister agree that his arbitrary detention continues in violation of the Vienna convention, and that there must be consequences for Egypt, including international legal options and new travel advice given the dangers to British nationals detained in Egypt?
Context
Members of Alaa Abd el-Fattah's family, including his mother Laila who has not eaten for seven months due to her son's detention, are present in the Gallery.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Mr Hamish Falconer)
I would like to pay tribute to the fortitude and bravery of Alaa’s family. We consider Alaa a British national as he holds both British and Egyptian nationality despite Egypt's dispute on this point. We are committed to continuing to work on his case.

Last Wednesday, the Prime Minister stated that balancing Government books on disabled people’s backs was in line with post-war Labour principles. However, more Labour MPs disagree, finding these policies cruel and morally wrong. Who is correct?
Context
The hon. Member challenges the Prime Minister's statement that cutting back on PIP eligibility aligns with post-war Labour principles, noting a growing number of Labour Members find such policies cruel and unjust.
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Liz Kendall)
I do not recognise how the hon. Lady framed the Prime Minister’s response. We want a social security system protecting those who can never or will never work, but disabled people out of work are more likely than non-disabled to say they wish to work. If in work, they have half the likelihood of being poor compared to non-disabled. Our goal is shifting focus towards helping people work if capable and protect those unable.

For weeks, the Government’s active trailing of welfare cuts has generated genuine fear. Disabled people in Brighton Pavilion are writing to me in terror. Will the Secretary of State apologise for this and reassure the public that benefit changes will not take place this calendar year or without parliamentary votes in this House?
Context
Disabled people in Brighton Pavilion have written to the MP with genuine fears about proposed benefit cuts.
Stephen Timms
First, I recognise that there has been a good deal of anxiety, and I regret that. But there will not be long to wait. The proposals will soon become clear. The hon. Lady will welcome a great deal of the changes that we want to make.

Why does expanding UK airports have a shaky case for economic benefits when business air travel use isn't increasing, and three times as many tourists leave by plane compared to those arriving? Will the Chancellor urgently publish her evidence of any net benefits to the economy from airport expansion so it can be carefully examined?
Context
Airport expansion has been proposed, but there is debate about its economic benefits. The question refers to the imbalance between outbound and inbound tourist flights from the UK.
Darren Jones
To decide whether we are for growth or against growth, this Government are for growth. Further details of any particular project will be set out when developers come forward with their plans for the Government to consider.

In Brighton's non-academy sixth-form colleges, the current teacher strike action stems largely from the Government not providing the same funding to cover pay uplifts as they do for schools and academies. Will the Secretary of State urgently correct that unjustified funding anomaly?
Context
Teacher strikes are occurring due to a lack of funding for pay uplifts in non-academy sixth-form colleges compared to schools and academies.
Bridget Phillipson
At the Budget, we set out an additional £300 million for further education. The hon. Lady will know that the Government are not responsible for and play no role in setting or making recommendations about teacher pay in FE colleges. We are looking closely at sixth-form colleges too as part of this, which again is part of the challenge that we inherited from the last Government.

In Brighton Pavilion, we love our grassroots music venues, and we often need to make robust use of the “agent of change” principle to protect them when it comes to licensing and planning, but it is hard work to enforce that and ensure that it happens. Is the Minister having any discussions with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government about putting the “agent of change” principle on a statutory footing?
Context
There is concern about the difficulty in enforcing the agent of change principle in relation to licensing and planning for grassroots music venues.
Chris Bryant
Those meetings have already taken place and will continue to take place. The hon. Lady makes a very good point. I have visited Brighton Pavilion many times, so I know that other music venues there can, I hope, come online in the near future. I know that the Secretary of State met Ed Sheeran last week—she has told me about it about 25 times—to discuss precisely that issue.

The capital review and our assessment of the transport appraisal guidance are absolutely considering how we can capture better the wider implications of transport infrastructure funding. We are committed to working with Active Travel England and ensuring that all investment involves consideration of how we can better promote active travel and public transport use but we are committed to road building as well.

- - 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
