To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she will publish her response to the consultation on the SEND proposals in the Schools White Paper, Every Child Achieving and Thriving.
Earlier this year, the department consulted on proposals to reform the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system. Our aim is to create a more inclusive education system that ensures all children and young people, including those with SEND, can achieve and thrive. This will ensure every child across the country receives the right support locally, at an early stage and without a fight.
Almost 10,000 people responded to the consultation and more than 3,000 attended events across the country. Since the consultation closed, we have continued to listen and develop our proposals in response to feedback.
We are committed to co-designing the reforms with children, families and professionals, and to testing and refining the proposals collaboratively to ensure they work in practice.
We are currently analysing the feedback and will publish our response to the consultation in due course.

I totally agree with the hon. Lady. Those organisations are so important.
Some politicians from some parties have been using mental health and children’s mental health as a bit of a political football, such as by calling young people struggling with mental health “snowflakes”. That is absolutely shameful, and those comments...

All aspects of the current system will be reviewed as part of that process, including capital limit thresholds, and we will continue to update Parliament on a regular basis.
That this House is deeply concerned by the poor delivery of unequal access to cancer treatment in rural areas, where too many patients face long journeys for treatment, often after weeks of waiting for it to begin; recognises calls for the sector cancer services to be properly resourced and for specialist expertise to be balanced with equitable local access; and calls on the Government to ensure the National Cancer Plan is deliverable in rural areas through clear system accountability, local workforce planning, including specialist cancer nurses, and investment in satellite cancer services and radiotherapy capacity in underserved communities, so that postcode where a patient lives never determines the care they receive.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Mental Health Strategy for England will aim to improve outcomes specific to family carers of those with severe mental illness.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Mental Health Strategy for England will aim to improve outcomes specific to family carers of those with severe mental illness.
We recognise the many challenges that people care for loved ones with severe mental illnesses face every day, and we will consider the needs of family carers as we develop a new mental health strategy designed to ensure better support is accessible to people across the country with mental health needs.
The forthcoming Mental Health Strategy for England will set out the Government’s priorities for improving mental health and wellbeing and will be informed by engagement with people with lived experience, and their families and carers.
Alongside this, the Government is developing a Modern Service Framework for severe mental illness, which will set consistent standards across the country so that people with severe mental illness receive the best quality, evidence-based, and equitable care and support. Recognising the important role that carers and families play is an important part of this.
That this House expresses deep concern over news that PAPYRUS, the suicide prevention charity has gone into administration; notes that this charity has delivered a vital service via its HOPELINE247 for young people suffering with poor mental health; highlights the tireless campaigning of volunteers, including 3 Dads Walking who raised £1.5 million following the loss of their daughters; further notes the contribution that PAPYRUS has made over the last 29 years and expresses regret that this does not constitute the loss of a singular charity but rather a loss of a vital service that has saved countless lives over the years; and urges the Government to support organisations like PAPYRUS that often work in tandem with NHS services as a means of offering community support so no one has to wait till crisis point to receive appropriate care.

There has long been a proven link between people deliberately harming animals and then committing domestic abuse. The Links Group has researched and highlighted that link for 25 years and is having a special conference later this year to mark this. Will the Minister agree to meet me and the Links Group so that we can draw on its 25 years of expertise to help prevent avoidable harm to women, children and even animals?

That this House expresses alarm at the exposure of UK democracy to the undue influence of an ultra-wealthy minority; notes that donations are uncapped meaning that two individuals have been able to give £72 million to one party in one week; further notes recent investigations reporting foreign money and impermissible donations entering UK politics; believes that this issue is of existential importance for the integrity of our democracy; calls on the Government to introduce a statutory cap on individual political donations as well as launching a cap on party spending limits outside of General Elections; regrets that the Government has not yet used the opportunity of the Representation of the People Bill to do so; and urges the Government to strengthen the Electoral Commission and police enforcement of electoral law.

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. All the issues that I just highlighted were the result of a failure of regulation over decades, and it is absolutely time that we reform the way water companies are structured, owned and run.

That this House notes that on 8 July 2026 the Mental Capacity (Duty to Assess) Bill, also known as Christopher’s Law, was introduced with cross-party support; recognises that cases where the process for deciding on the presumption of capacity under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 was not correctly followed are associated with deaths, including 160 cases identified by King’s College London in 2023 alone; further notes that the Bill addresses critical gaps illustrated by the tragic death of Christopher Laskaris; acknowledges the legislation drafted by Alex Ruck Keene KC to introduce statutory duties to assess capacity where a person is reasonably understood to have an impairment or disturbance in the functioning of their mind or brain, or where a person properly interested in their circumstances has raised concerns; welcomes the Government’s commitment to review and reform the Mental Capacity Act; and calls on the Prime Minister and the Government to allocate Government time for the Bill’s Second Reading.
