That this House notes with deep concern reports that pupils with Functional Neurological Disorder and similar complex health conditions are missing out on large parts of their education because they are not receiving consistent, suitable and accessible educational provision; recognises that children who are able and eager to learn may nevertheless be unable to attend school regularly in person because of disabling symptoms; is concerned that, where appropriate provision is not put in place, pupils can be effectively informally excluded from education without the safeguards that accompany formal exclusion; further recognises the distress caused to families when suitable provision is not made and parents are left to fill the gap in their child’s education; also recognises the urgent need to improve inclusion for children whose health needs prevent them from attending school in person; calls on the Government to ensure that schools and local authorities meet their duties to provide suitable education for children unable to attend school because of health needs; further calls for clearer guidance, better training and stronger accountability so that pupils with Functional Neurological Disorder and similar conditions receive reasonable adjustments, remote or alternative provision where needed, and proper SEND support; and urges Ministers to ensure that no child is left without meaningful access to education because their medical condition is poorly understood.

That this House congratulates the Queensferry Museum on the opening of its new exhibition exploring the important role that South Queensferry played during the Second World War; recognises the profound impact of the war on individuals, families and communities, from the outbreak of hostilities and the defence of the Forth, through the hardships of life on the home front to eventual victory and homecoming; further recognises that the exhibition traces the impact of the war on the close-knit community of South Queensferry and highlights the town’s important contribution to the war effort; and thanks the Queensferry History Group for curating the exhibition and bringing together personal stories, photographs and artefacts that showcase the experiences of those from South Queensferry who served their country.

That this House notes with concern that demand for the 2026 Sustainable Farming Incentive had allocated 75% of the window 1 budget within weeks of the scheme opening; pays tribute to farmers across the country, particularly smaller and hill farms, for producing food, caring for the countryside and tackling climate change, during a cost of doing farming crisis; further notes that for many of them SFI is now their only direct financial support; expresses concern that England remains an outlier among European nations in providing no direct payments to farmers, making properly funded and accessible environmental schemes essential to their survival; recognises that farmers need confidence that schemes will remain open and funded during their advertised duration; also notes that the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pledged there would be no more sudden and unexpected closures of farming schemes following the abrupt suspension of SFI in 2024; believes that SFI26 must remain open and accessible to all farmers who need it; regrets that farmers are being forced into a race against the clock to apply before funds run out; and calls on the Government to guarantee sufficient, long-term funding for all eligible SFI26 applicants regardless of landscape or designation, by committing to an additional £1 billion a year for environmental land management schemes, so that farmers have the certainty they need to invest in nature-friendly farming, food security and climate resilience.

That this House notes with concern the wildfires that broke out near Ilminster in Somerset recently, one of several simultaneous incidents that placed significant strain on fire crews from multiple counties amid warnings of exceptional wildfire risk; further notes that Somerset has this year experienced both devastating flash flooding and dangerous heat leading to wildfires, underlining the county's exposure to the extremes of a changing climate; recognises that farmers and landowners in Somerset are on the front line of this challenge and that wildfires can spread quickly in built-up areas as well as the countryside; further recognises that fire ponds serve a critical dual purpose, providing a store of water for irrigation and livestock through dry spells and a reliable water source for fire crews in rural areas where mains hydrants cannot reach; believes that wildfire resilience should be treated as part of the same interconnected challenge as drought and flood adaptation, rather than a separate issue, within the Farming Roadmap 2050; calls on the Government to make fire pond creation and restoration an explicit, eligible, funded action within the Sustainable Farming Incentive, with clear capital grant support for Somerset's landowners; further calls on the Government to work with the National Fire Chiefs Council to map the areas of Somerset most at risk of wildfire and least served by water access; and urges the Government to set out how fire pond provision will be monitored and reported on as part of wider climate adaptation delivery.

That this House condemns the ongoing, unprovoked, and illegal aggression of the Russian Federation both at home and across Europe; notes with grave concern the increasing hostility by Russian naval vessels and aircraft across northern European waters, including within the British Channel and the Norwegian Sea, which pose a direct threat to UK security; expresses alarm at the Russian shadow fleet actively bypassing international price caps and national sanctions to move roughly 40% of Russian oil; regrets that these illicit vessels transport sanctioned cargo near to UK territorial waters, bankrolling the Kremlin's brutal war machine in Ukraine; urges the Government to take a decisive stance by working alongside international allies to completely ban the provision of all maritime services for the export of Russian oil, oil products, gas, and coal, thereby choking off the critical energy revenues funding Putin's hybrid warfare and hostile regional aggression; and further urges the Government to expand its interdiction of Russian shadow vessels transporting oil illegally near UK waters, selling the captured cargo to raise money for Ukraine.

That this House notes with concern that across the country, fewer than 2% of advertised private rented homes are affordable based on Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates; recognises that this has become significantly worse due the LHA freeze since April 2024 with research by Crisis and Zoopla suggesting that in 2021/22, 11.2% of listings for two-bed homes in England were affordable, compared to only 1.1% in 2025/26; expresses deep concern that LHA rates have remained frozen while rents have continued to rise, leaving many households unable to meet housing costs; further notes evidence from a coalition of homelessness, housing, health and advice organisations, including Citizens Advice, Crisis, Shelter, Centrepoint, St Mungo’s, Independent Age, Justlife, Shared Health and the National Residential Landlords Association, that the freeze is contributing to poverty, hardship and homelessness; understands that recent polling commissioned by Citizens Advice found that 48% of renters receiving Universal Credit have cut back on essentials such as food, energy and transport costs to cover housing expenses; and calls on the Government to restore Local Housing Allowance rates so that they once again cover at least the lowest 30% of local rents and to ensure that support keeps pace with changes in the rental market.

That this House expresses deep concern at the publication of the Defence Investment Plan (DIP), which is nearly a year delayed and delivers a fundamentally unambitious funding package for the nation's security; notes that the £15 billion in new military spending falls significantly short of the sum required to restore defence readiness and meet strategic obligations; regrets that this plan leaves an unfunded £4.7 billion black hole that directly threatens the UK’s defence capabilities and undermines its standing with key NATO allies; urges the Government to deliver a £20 billion defence bonds programme, hypothecated to capital spending on defence to rapidly inject money into the Armed Forces; further regrets that the delays in publishing the DIP have already caused industry uncertainty, leaving vital supply chain partners without a clear demand signal; recognises that SMEs form an increasingly critical part of the UK’s defence industrial base and are disproportionately affected; and calls on the Government to publish a comprehensive, independent report within six months on the specific economic consequences that the delay has had on SMEs within the defence sector and the wider supply chain.

That this House celebrates the 160th anniversary of Torbay RNLI, established in 1866 in the aftermath of the devastating Great Storm of January that year; notes that during one night of exceptional violence around 60 ships were wrecked in and around Torbay and more than 70 sailors lost their lives, with much of the community’s fishing fleet destroyed; recognises the remarkable courage and community spirit shown by local people during the disaster; further notes that the nearest lifeboat was located at Teignmouth and was hauled some 10 miles overland in an effort to rescue survivors; commends the establishment of Torbay RNLI later that year in response to the tragedy and its subsequent 160 years of dedicated lifesaving service to mariners, residents and visitors alike; welcomes the StormFest 160 commemorations marking this important anniversary, including the recreation of a 19th century lifeboat reflecting the station’s origins; pays tribute to all past and present RNLI volunteers, crews, fundraisers and supporters whose selfless service has saved countless lives at sea, supporting those in our merchant vessels, fishing fleet and leisure crafts; and thanks all those who continue to give their time and expertise to protect people at sea and around the nation's coastline.

That this House acknowledges the second anniversary of the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion on 19 July 2024, which noted that Israel’s continuing presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) is unlawful; regrets the Government's continuing and unjustifiable failure to provide the UK's assessment on the Court's opinion; believes that the UK is failing to meet its obligations in relation to the Court's opinion; recognises that only a two-state solution and a lasting peace can deliver security and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians; further recognises that securing progress towards a two-state solution requires consistent and robust action to end Israel's occupation; further regrets the continuing administrative and arbitrary detention of Palestinians across the OPTs ; calls therefore on the UK Government to immediately publish its response to the Court; urges the Government to work with international partners to press the Israeli Government to allow journalists and human rights investigators full access to Gaza to support the collection of evidence of war crimes there; further calls on the UK Government to meet its commitments to uphold international law, including by banning all UK trade in goods and services with illegal Israeli settlements, by sanctioning Ministers responsible for facilitating and encouraging illegal expansion, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, and by banning all UK arms exports to Israel including F-35 components.

That this House expresses deep concern over the substandard living conditions endured by service personnel and their families; believes that all military accommodation should be legally included under the Decent Homes Standard (DHS) to ensure that service men and women and their families are guaranteed safe, dignified places to live; regrets that the Government’s recently announced Defence Investment Plan will deprioritise the urgent refurbishment of sub-standard military housing; further believes that cutting corners on personnel welfare directly undermines operational readiness, morale, recruitment and long-term retention within the Armed Forces; and urges the Government to immediately reverse plans to push back housing improvements, fully fund the eradication of mould and damp across the defence estate, and formally adopt the DHS for all service accommodation without delay, including single living accommodation.
