The department only collects data on pupils who are both eligible for and claiming free school meals. Children not claiming free school meals could be eligible or ineligible to claim them. As a result, no recent estimate has been made of the number of children eligible for but not registered to receive free school meals.

The government has been clear that it will not look to make additional deregulatory changes to the adult gaming sector until further improvements are made on customer protections. Government officials meet regularly with the Gambling Commission and representatives from the sector and will continue to support operators with making progress in this area.

The Department is currently considering the policy design specification provided by the Scottish Government for its proposal to make split payments the default option for Universal Credit customers in Scotland.

The Department has no plans to make split payments the default arrangement for all joint Universal Credit claims.

Securing less burdensome arrangements for non-commercial pet travel to the EU, including for assistance dogs, remains a UK Government priority. As announced at the UK-EU Leaders' Summit on 19 May 2025, the UK and EU have agreed to work towards a common Sanitary and Phytosanitary Area, which will mean taking pets on holiday into the EU will be easier and cheaper. Instead of getting an Animal Health Certificate each time they travel, assistance dog owners will be able to get a multiuse pet passport valid for travel to the EU.

We have committed, with the EU, to conclude negotiations before the next UK-EU Summit. Whilst these negotiations are ongoing, we are unable to provide detailed updates on the talks or delivery timelines.

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board developed a variation of the women’s health hub model, focused on virtual and system-wide provision for local women. More information about this is available on the One Devon website at the following link:

https://onedevon.org.uk/our-work/services-and-support/womens-health-strategy/

The Devon Women’s Health Hubs project has two main priorities:

• developing a range of virtual services along the menopause pathway, to ensure women receive the right advice and guidance at the point of care; and

• enhancing provision of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception, for both contraceptive and non-contraceptive reasons such as heavy menstrual bleeding.

While Devon does not yet have a physical hub, the long-term ambition remains to work towards establishing one in the South West. This will include exploring how neighbourhood and place-based settings could support its development.

On 19 May, I updated Parliament that from the week commencing 25 May, NS&I would start to contact affected estates, with holdings of £10 or more, to reunite them with the holdings owed to them. Remediation will be delivered in phases. NS&I has since issued letters and repayments to the first cohort of affected estates. NS&I aims to return holdings to affected estates as swiftly as possible and expects to complete its remediation programme in the first half of 2027.

Following the increase in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) cost-effectiveness thresholds in April 2026, NICE, NHS England, and the manufacturers have resumed discussions to explore whether a commercial offer can be agreed that would make Enhertu cost-effective for HER2-low metastatic or unresectable breast cancer.

NICE previously published guidance in July 2024 and did not recommend Enhertu for this indication because the cost-effectiveness estimates were above the acceptable range for National Health Service resources.

Those discussions are ongoing. NICE and NHS England remain committed to securing access to effective treatments where they represent value for NHS patients.

It is this government’s ambition to see more disabled people in public office. We have been clear that we will champion disabled people’s rights and work closely with them so that disabled people’s views and voices are at the heart of decision-making.

We have been working to develop a new fund to assist with the additional disability-related costs of contesting elected office. More information about the fund will be announced in due course.

The Government recognises the importance of social media to UK businesses. Under the Online Safety Act, regulated services must operate accessible and effective complaints procedures, enabling users, including businesses, to challenge account suspensions or bans where they have been mistakenly associated with illegal content or content harmful to children.

Services must also take appropriate action in response to complaints. These duties are designed to increase transparency and accountability in platform decision-making. Ofcom has powers to take enforcement action where providers fail to comply with their statutory duties.

I refer the Hon. Member to the answer given to the Hon. Member for Epsom and Ewell on 1 July 2026 to Question 10831.

Community health services, including children’s speech and language therapy services, are locally commissioned to enable systems to best meet the needs of their communities.

In the Devon Integrated Care Board area, the average waiting time between referral and the start of National Health Service speech and language therapy for children aged zero to 11 years old is 68 weeks in Devon and Torbay and 24 weeks in Plymouth.

In Devon and Torbay there are currently 2,574 children and young people aged zero to 18 years old waiting for speech and language therapy services, 1,978 of which are aged zero to 11 years old.

In Plymouth there are currently 648 children and young people aged zero to 18 years old waiting for speech and language therapy services, 602 of which are aged zero to 11 years old.

We have set clear ambitions for community health services through our Medium-Term Planning Framework. By 2028/29 at least 80% of community health services activity should take place within 18 weeks, bringing community health services in line with targets for elective care.

In 2025, we published Standardising Community Health Services which provides an overview of core community health services. Setting clear expectations of the core community health services ICBs should be providing will support consistent delivery of community health services and effective commissioning, and improve patient access to care.

UK State Pensions are payable worldwide, without regard to nationality and are only uprated abroad where we have a legal requirement to do so, for example in countries with which we have a reciprocal agreement that provides for uprating.

This approach has been supported by successive governments over many years with priority given to those living in the UK when drawing up expenditure plans for additional pensioner benefits.
