Questions Asked by This MP
Parliamentary questions and government responses.
Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
Thames Water's distant creditors control the company. Their current deal is being objected to by the Government, but there is uncertainty on whose interests will be prioritised in any restructuring: senior creditors or customers and environmental health. Whose side is the Deputy Prime Minister on?
Context
Investors in Thames Water are concerned about the company's restructuring which could impact consumers' bills and the environment.
David Lammy
The Government supports consumers, not paying for years of failure by the Conservatives. Labour blocked bonuses and introduced criminal sanctions for polluting water bosses; a new powerful regulator will hold companies accountable.

Local councils in my constituency are facing significant financial pressures on special educational needs and disabilities provision. In Wokingham borough, for example, the SEND incidence is twice the national average, yet historically the level of funding has not met the level of need, and that has left families and children waiting too long for help. The previous Government's safety valve programme was only a sticking plaster, so I welcome this Government's announcement today of additional SEND funding in mainstream schools. What more can the Government do to make SEND funding sustainable?
Context
Local councils in Earley and Woodley face significant financial pressures on special educational needs provision. Wokingham borough has an incidence of SEND twice the national average, yet historically the level of funding has not met the level of need.
Keir Starmer
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for raising this—I think this is the fifth or sixth time that SEND has been raised at Prime Minister's questions. We inherited a system neglected to the point of crisis by the last Government, and so we will deliver the change that is desperately needed. That means increasing funding to the core schools budget by £2.3 billion, which includes almost £1 billion more on high needs budgets. Today we are announcing investment of £740 million to create SEN units in mainstream schools which deliver specialist support, and I am very pleased to take that forward.

Thousands of families in my constituency have moved into new-build developments in Shinfield, Loddon Park and beyond. But many have found their dreams of home ownership punctured by unfair and opaque property management charges. Can the Deputy Prime Minister reassure my constituents by setting out how the leasehold reform Bill will address those concerns, and will she meet me and affected constituents?
Context
Residents in new-build developments face unfair property management charges, leading to issues with home ownership. The leasehold reform Bill aims to address these concerns.
Angela Rayner
I welcome my hon. Friend to her place. Unjustified increases to service charges are completely unacceptable. The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 will provide homeowners with greater rights, powers and protections over their homes, including greater transparency over service charges. Leaseholders have been ripped off for too long. It is this Government who will sort it out.

Putin's war in Ukraine and Trump's war in Iran have shown us the need to make Britain more resilient against global energy shocks. Can my hon. Friend set out what the Government are doing to ensure that domestic electricity prices are decoupled from global gas prices, so that my constituents can get the best out of cheap, green, local renewables?
Context
Concerns over rising electricity prices due to global energy shocks.
Martin McCluskey
I pay tribute to the work my hon. Friend is doing for her constituents on this issue. The most effective way to decouple our electricity prices from gas is to expand our renewable generation. Every wind turbine we turn on and every solar panel that we deploy helps to push gas off as the price-setter. We will continue to work in this way.

Will the Chancellor examine the case for a fixed-term rent freeze in the private rented sector, considering the impact of inflation and conflict on constituents' affordability?
Context
A constituent fears becoming homeless due to high rent costs following the invasion of Iran. The question addresses the need for a rent freeze to protect renters.
Rachel Reeves
We have taken action on energy prices, fuel duty, prescription charges, and rail fares. We introduced the Renters' Rights Act 2025 and are helping people with mortgages. We will also help those in the private rented sector to ensure they do not become poorer due to conflicts.

I am indeed very proud of this Labour Government's historic Employment Rights Act 2025, which means that workers will get statutory sick pay from the first day they are ill. However, does the Secretary of State accept that the current flat rate of statutory sick pay—at four fifths of average earnings—remains a barrier to those on low incomes and thus remains a barrier to tackling illness in the workplace?
Context
The MP highlights the Labour Government's Employment Rights Act 2025, which ensures workers get statutory sick pay from the first day they are ill.
Pat McFadden
Removing the three-day limit and giving access to statutory sick pay from day one, as well as making it available to those who work for multiple employers, should decrease pressure on workers to have to work through illness. The 'Keep Britain Working' review aims to work with employers to help keep people in jobs while they cope with long-term sickness issues.
Session: Statutory Sick Pay

What assessment he has made of the adequacy of rates of statutory sick pay. The MP welcomes the changes but questions if there is still a barrier to those on low incomes due to the flat rate of statutory sick pay being four fifths of average earnings.
Context
The MP inquires about the adequacy of statutory sick pay rates, focusing on recent changes made by the Government.
Pat McFadden

Mr Speaker, I wish you and the Minister a happy St George's day. I congratulate my right hon. Friend on rejoining the EU Erasmus+ scheme. It is very exciting for students across the UK, including at the University of Reading. On energy prices, we are all paying the price of Trump's war in Iran. It is vital for us to work with our European allies to lower energy prices, including reducing the trade costs brought up by the Tories' bad Brexit deal. Will the Minister give us an update on his negotiations for the UK to participate in EU internal electricity markets?
Context
The UK rejoining the EU Erasmus+ scheme and concerns about rising energy prices.
Nick Thomas-Symonds
Erasmus+ will indeed provide tens of thousands of opportunities, particularly for young people. On energy, we are committed to strengthening our energy partnership with the EU to lower bills for households and businesses. On the negotiations my hon. Friend is talking about, I think everybody would see that strengthening this international co-operation is vital to bolster energy resilience against the kind of global shocks we have seen in recent weeks.

Reading is home to a large diaspora of Gurkha veterans; we are proud of their service and grateful for their sacrifices. Following the recent elections in Nepal, will the Minister work with the new Nepalese leadership to address collaboratively the issues these Gurkha veterans still face in the UK, and will she visit with me their community centre in Reading—The Forgotten British Gurkha—to assure them that they are far from forgotten?
Context
Reading has a large diaspora of Gurkha veterans, many facing issues in the UK.
Louise Jones
I thank my hon. Friend for raising that point. I know from my own time of service in the Army just how vital the Gurkhas are and their hugely high standards of professionalism. We in this country have a special relationship with them, which we must never, ever forget. I have met regularly, including recently, with representatives and will continue to do so, and I would love to visit her constituency.

Satellite imagery shows destruction of more than 100 allied graves at a Commonwealth War Graves Commission site. Have you raised concerns with your Israeli counterpart? What steps will be taken to prevent future destruction?
Context
Yang raises concerns over reports that Israeli forces have destroyed more than 100 allied graves in the Gaza war cemetery, including those of British and allied personnel from WWI and WWII.
Alistair Carns
Dismayed by damage caused by both Israeli operations and Hamas fighters. Concerns raised with international partners, continuing support for assessment and repair efforts when safe.

Secondary school students with special educational needs have told me of their struggles with academy trusts in south Reading and Shinfield that have failed to properly prioritise inclusion. Will the Minister set out how the schools White Paper will address that on the part of multi-academy trusts? Will she consider visiting Hartland high school and Oakbank school in my constituency to see the progress they have made on that front?
Context
Secondary school students with special educational needs face challenges with academy trusts that fail to prioritise inclusion properly.
Georgia Gould
Accountability is a key part of the reforms, with Ofsted now focused on inclusion and conducting inspections for multi-academy trusts. The Minister is open to visiting local academies to see best practice and is committed to ensuring that resource and accountability are in place to ensure inclusion everywhere.
Session: Supporting Children with SEND

What recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the system for supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities. Families, teachers, and professionals are concerned that the system has failed to meet children's needs and has a profound impact on their education and wellbeing.
Context
The effectiveness of the system for supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities is under scrutiny due to ongoing concerns from families, teachers, and professionals.
Georgia Gould
The Secretary of State for Education has set out ambitious SEND reforms to ensure the system works better for families and children across England. Ofsted is now focused on inclusion and will conduct inspections for multi-academy trusts. The Government wants to hear from young people, parents, teachers, and all those who support them through a consultation.

Despite the Government's good progress on energy prices, food inflation remains stubbornly high, with even a Tesco meal deal stuck at £4.25. Given this situation and the need to make food more affordable, will the Minister update us on his negotiations over agrifood trade with the EU?
Context
The latest inflation figures indicate persistent high food prices despite progress on energy costs. The issue of affordability is becoming increasingly pressing.
Nick Thomas-Symonds
The sanitary and phytosanitary agreement removes export health certificates and routine border checks, slashing costs and red tape for agrifood trade. For example, businesses will save up to £200 per shipment, making trade cheaper and easier. The Conservative party wants to put those costs back.

More than 700 of my constituents living in new builds in and around Reading have written to me about high fees and unfair behaviour from property management agents. One constituent, called Sunil, said: “We are throwing our money down the drain to these crooks, and they know they can take advantage.” Will the Housing Minister meet me and my fellow Labour MPs working on this issue to discuss what more can be done to crack down on such awful behaviour from rogue agents such as FirstPort?
Context
Over 700 constituents have written to Yuan Yang about high fees and unfair behavior from property management agents, specifically citing the case of Sunil.
The Minister for Housing and Planning (Matthew Pennycook)
I am very glad to hear that my hon. Friend has engaged with those consultations, and I encourage all hon. Members from across the House to do the same. I am more than happy to meet a group of Labour colleagues to discuss the consultations and our proposals in more detail.

Reading is proud to be a town of many immigrant diasporas, including Hong Kong BNOs seeking refuge there. Many of my constituents have lived and worked hard in our community for years, putting down roots as my parents did when I was a child. Will the Minister acknowledge the contributions of immigrant families who enrich towns like mine, when making policy about settlement periods?
Context
The MP referred to the British National Overseas (BNO) visa holders who seek refuge in the UK. She highlighted that many BNOs have lived and worked in Reading for years, enriching local communities.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mike Tapp)
Absolutely. Across the board we recognise the contribution from migrant communities, and specifically the Hong Kong community. We are listening to their views about the route to settlement, and will continue to do so.

Will the Minister join me in congratulating Reading’s University Medical Group, a GP practice in my constituency that was recently awarded the gold Pride in Practice award by the LGBT Foundation? When I visited that practice last week, the doctors raised the issue of transgender care. Many constituents have also written to me concerned about ongoing barriers to treatment for young people needing gender-affirming care, so what more can the Government do to ensure that young transgender people get the treatment they urgently need?
Context
Reading’s University Medical Group was awarded the gold Pride in Practice award by the LGBT Foundation. Concerns were raised about ongoing barriers to treatment for young people needing gender-affirming care.
The Minister for Women and Equalities (Bridget Phillipson)
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for raising that work in her community. The Government have commissioned NHS England to undertake a LGBT health evidence review, which is being led by Dr Michael Brady, the national adviser on LGBT health. It will diagnose the problems we need to solve, making sure we have evidence-led recommendations in order to improve access to healthcare for adults.

Across neighbourhoods in my Earley and Woodley constituency I have seen too many incidents of electric bikes and electric scooters being ridden dangerously, including on pavements. Residents have told me of collisions in areas such as Woodley Precinct and Kennet Island. I have been raising the issue with Thames Valley police, and I am very glad to hear the Home Secretary’s announcement of 68 neighbourhood officers across our region, but what more can she and the Home Office do to support the work of the police in cracking down on dangerous riders?
Context
Residents in Earley and Woodley constituency have raised concerns about dangerous riding of electric bikes and scooters on pavements, leading to collisions.
The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Yvette Cooper)
My hon. Friend is right: we need to make sure that Thames Valley has the 68 additional neighbourhood police just this year and give them the powers they need. That is why we are strengthening the Crime and Policing Bill both on dangerous cycling and dangerous riding, and giving the police stronger powers to take e-scooters and off-road bikes literally off the roads.

I very much welcome today’s announcement on refurbishing 1,000 GP surgeries across the country. Our local GPs have told me that our health centres need more physical space in order to accommodate growing local needs and facilitate the expansion of healthcare into the community. Is the Secretary of State willing to meet me and my local GPs to discuss how we can better improve the physical space needed for care to be brought closer to people’s homes?
Context
The MP referenced a recent government announcement about supporting over 1,000 GP surgeries with £102 million for refurbishment.
The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Wes Streeting)
I would be delighted to do so. Since we came into government, we have made this announcement today, put £889 million into general practice and agreed a contract with GPs, including reform for patient access and services. We are fixing the front door to the NHS, but of course that will take time.

I thank the Secretary of State for her very clear statement. The bigger picture that the Opposition are missing here is that the British media at large have greatly suffered from a lack of access in Gaza during the deadliest war on record for journalists. My former colleagues have variously been denied entry and had unnecessarily prolonged and risky exits, and our Palestinian contributors have been stuck in a living nightmare. Will the Secretary State ensure that she continues to safeguard British media interests and their reporting abroad and work with Foreign Office colleagues to enlarge access for journalists in Gaza?
Context
Highlighting the broader issue of media access to Gaza, the MP asks for assurance from the Secretary of State regarding safeguarding British media interests.
Lisa Nandy
I am very happy to give my hon. Friend that assurance. As I said in answer to an earlier question, my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has raised this issue, and he and I are working very closely together on it. My hon. Friend will be aware that the BBC World Service plays a critical role in ensuring that free and fair information is available all over the world, which is why we rightly expect the highest standards from the BBC.

The Sport Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley South (Stephanie Peacock), was kind enough to meet me and Reading football club fans last year to discuss the urgent need for an independent football regulator. Since then, the legislation has been held up in the other place by Conservative peers, and I was appalled to hear that the Leader of the Opposition sees an independent regulator as “a waste of money”. Fans and staff in Reading will be able to tell the Secretary of State the importance of the need for a regulator, so will she visit the stadium in my constituency to meet them in person?
Context
The Sport Minister met with Reading football club fans last year to discuss the need for an independent football regulator. The legislation is currently held up in the House of Lords by Conservative peers.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Lisa Nandy)
I would be delighted to support my hon. Friend as she continues to fight the good fight for football fans in her constituency. Like her, I was appalled by the Leader of the Opposition’s comments. The independent football regulator began life under the last Government; it was in the Conservative manifesto, it was in our manifesto, and we were elected to deliver it on behalf of millions of football fans. I very much hope that the right hon. Member for Daventry (Stuart Andrew) will disassociate himself from the Leader of the Opposition’s appalling comments.

My constituents in Whitley had their Christmas disrupted by an alarming threat of knife crime. We have seen too many tragedies of this kind in Reading over the last few years, so I wholeheartedly welcome the Government’s mission to halve knife crime. I have applied for my Earley and Woodley constituency to be a trial location for the new respect orders. Will the Home Secretary meet me and my constituents to discuss how we can tackle the root problems that cause people, particularly young people, to carry knives?
Context
The Christmas period in Whitley was disrupted by a serious threat of knife crime. Reading has experienced several tragic incidents over the past few years.
The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Yvette Cooper)
The Policing Minister and I will happily talk further to my hon. Friend. She is right that we need to prevent young people from obtaining and carrying knives in the first place, as well as making sure there is swift intervention. We are also taking action, working with police forces across the country, to tackle knife-enabled robbery, which is one of the areas that has seen the biggest increases in recent years.

I associate myself with that tribute and thank the Secretary of State for her reply. My constituency hosts Reading FC, which narrowly avoided relegation due to poor management by absent owners. We urgently need a regulator as proposed in the football governance Bill to prevent future abuses against clubs like Reading. Will the Minister meet local fans and me to discuss how we can safeguard the club?
Context
Building on the previous discussion, there is a need for legislative measures to protect football clubs from financial mismanagement. The questioner seeks assurances about concrete steps towards introducing such legislation.
Lisa Nandy
The Sports Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley South (Stephanie Peacock), will be delighted to meet local fans and discuss how we can introduce robust protections for clubs like Reading FC under our proposed football governance Bill.

What steps she is taking to support the financial sustainability of English football. My constituency is home to Reading FC which managed to stay up last season despite significant challenges due to financial mismanagement by owners. We urgently need the Government's football governance Bill to protect clubs like Reading from future abuses. Will the Minister meet local fans and me to discuss protective measures?
Context
The question arises from the concern about financial mismanagement in football clubs, particularly highlighting Reading FC's situation where they narrowly avoided relegation.
Lisa Nandy
The Sports Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley South (Stephanie Peacock), will be delighted to meet local fans and discuss protective measures for Reading FC. We recognize that when a football club faces threats from mismanagement or poor ownership, it impacts generations of fans deeply connected to their civic heritage. The government is committed to introducing the football governance Bill without delay to ensure robust protections are in place.

Will the Minister meet with me, local life science businesses and hospital staff to discuss how to accelerate investment in our life sciences industrial cluster? The Thames valley, including my constituency of Earley and Woodley, is one of Europe's best-performing sites for foreign direct investment in the life sciences.
Context
The Thames valley, including the MP's constituency of Earley and Woodley, is one of Europe's best-performing sites for foreign direct investment in life sciences.
Sarah Jones
I thank my hon. Friend for championing such a vital sector—our most recent data shows that UK life sciences employs over 300,000 people, generating a turnover of over £100 billion. With the NHS back on its feet under this new Government, working hand in hand with life sciences, research institutions and others, we can drive the development of new treatments and help grow our industries. Of course, I would love to meet with my hon. Friend.

What steps is he taking to attract inward investment? I thank my hon. Friend for her question, and welcome her and her expertise to this House. Investment by private corporations was the lowest in the G7 for almost all of the last Parliament, and the new Government are determined to reverse that decline.
Context
Investment by private corporations was the lowest in the G7 for almost all of the last Parliament, leading to concerns about economic stability.
Sarah Jones
I thank my hon. Friend for her question, and welcome her and her expertise to this House. Investment by private corporations was the lowest in the G7 for almost all of the last Parliament, and the new Government are determined to reverse that decline. That begins with economic stability, something every business we talk to is crying out for. It involves the development of our industrial strategy, the levers to encourage investment, the national wealth fund, the British jobs bonus and the Industrial Strategy Council, which will provide the infrastructure that investors can understand and deal with. Next month, we will host the international investment summit with 300 industry leaders, demonstrating our mission of long-term growth, and because there is not a moment to lose, I am going to Italy tomorrow to meet key Italian investors to the UK and show that Britain is back.

Many small business owners have expressed a need for smoother trade relations. Can the Minister set out how he will build on meetings with Irish Taoiseach and French President to improve trade ties?
Context
Small business owners in Earley and Woodley seek smoother relationships with European neighbours.
Nick Thomas-Symonds
I welcome my hon. Friend to her place. As our nearest neighbours and as close allies, both those relationships are of great importance to the UK and to this Government's plan to reset our European relationships. We look forward to working closely with the Irish and French Governments as we take forward our plans to improve the trading relationship.

English Football: Financial Sustainability and Governance
06 March 2025
Responding: Stephanie Peacock
Main Concerns
['Clubs across the country face unsustainable finances and poor governance, with over 50 clubs in the top six tiers having gone into administration. According to research by Fair Game, the majority of the top 92 clubs are technically insolvent, meaning their liabilities exceed assets. Reading FC, in particular, is on the brink after four winding-up petitions, five points deductions, and persistent late tax payments.']
Specific Asks
['The lead MP asks for a more equitable distribution of funding between clubs to protect the football pyramid and ensure its sustainability. This includes addressing income inequality caused by broadcast deals that benefit only top-tier clubs, as well as unsustainable spending driven up by wage pressures.']

- - 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
