To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she has assessed the potential impact of funding preventative interventions for people with pre-diabetes and early Type 2 diabetes on the economy.
The eligibility criteria for continuous glucose monitoring amongst type 2 diabetics are set in guidance published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. This guidance is available at the following link:
https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/NG28
No assessment has been made, as continuous glucose monitoring devices have not been validated for the use of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
The Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, is highly effective in cutting the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 37% for people completing the programme compared to those who do not attend.
Outcomes for the Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme demonstrates that 32% of programme completers achieved remission with an average weight loss of almost 16 kilograms.

I absolutely agree—much like our water supply, these arrangements need to be more transparent and stink less.

The hon. Gentleman makes an extremely good point that I totally agree with.
This is not private enterprise riding to the rescue; it is customers being made to pay yet again for the consequences of corporate failure, and we cannot take our business elsewhere. If I do not like my supermarket,...

That this House celebrates the outstanding work of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), which for more than 200 years has stood ready to save lives at sea, regardless of who is in danger; recognises the thousands of RNLI volunteers who give their time, often at considerable personal risk, to respond to emergencies and bring people safely home, providing an essential service to the nation; further celebrates the RNLI’s unique place in the life of communities across the United Kingdom and Ireland, and particularly recognises the important contribution made by the organisation to the town of Poole, where its headquarters and the RNLI College are based; expresses its pride in the RNLI’s world-leading role in international drowning prevention and in providing water safety education and awareness campaigns; notes that the RNLI is an independent charity whose lifeboat crews work in partnership with HM Coastguard to respond to people in distress at sea and whose lifeguards patrol our beaches; condemns the recent abuse, threats, and misinformation directed towards brave RNLI volunteers and staffers; insists that the RNLI’s volunteers should be able to carry out their lifesaving work without political pressure, prejudice or fear for their own safety; and urges the Government and the public to continue their support for this vital organisation to guarantee their future as a national institution of which communities across the country can be proud and so that the RNLI team can continue to act with courage, compassion and without discrimination.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Great Western Railway on the affordability and availability of Advance fares for regular commuters.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Great Western Railway on the affordability and availability of Advance fares for regular commuters.
Advance fares are not regulated by the Government and are managed on a commercial basis by train operators. They are priced according to demand for a particular service, and their price and availability can vary depending on the route, date and time of travel, and when the ticket is purchased. The Department continues to work closely with operators to support a fares system that provides value for passengers while ensuring a financially sustainable railway.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to improve transparency and accountability in local authority SEND decision-making where concerns have been raised regarding delays in providing statutory support.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to improve transparency and accountability in local authority SEND decision-making where concerns have been raised regarding delays in providing statutory support.
The department holds local authorities to account in delivering their responsibilities on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Where failure is persistent, the department may intervene directly, using statutory powers and improvement partners to support service improvement.
Area SEND inspections also help make sure local services are meeting the needs of children and young people with SEND. There will be a full consultation on proposed changes to the Area SEND inspection framework too, looking at changes to inspection as a result of changes to roles, responsibilities and statutory duties of local area partners and wider SEND reforms.
In our ‘SEND Reform: Putting children and young people first’ consultation, we proposed measures to improve local authorities’ future decision-making and transparency around Tribunal outcomes. This included proposals to publish an annual SEND Tribunal outcomes dashboard and introduce new requirements on local authorities following Tribunal judgments, for example to publish regular summaries of judgments made against them. We are currently considering all consultation feedback and will publish final proposals in due course.
The Ministry of Justice publishes information about the number of SEND Tribunal cases, including the number of cases conceded, in the SEND Tribunal Tables.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has made an assessment of potential merits of introducing (a) additional oversight and (b) inspection of local authority SEND services where there is evidence of systemic delays or repeated findings against authorities at the SEND Tribunal.

The department has consulted on proposals to reform the special educational needs and disability (SEND) system and will confirm our intentions in due course. The reforms will include consultation on a revision of the relevant statutory guidance, the SEND Code of Practice.
Keeping accurate and proportionate records, including of decisions and why they were taken, is a principle of good administrative practice and something we expect of all local authorities in relation to education, health and care plans.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department monitors changes in the availability of the lowest-priced Advance rail fares on commuter routes operated by Great Western Railway.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department monitors changes in the availability of the lowest-priced Advance rail fares on commuter routes operated by Great Western Railway.
The Department does not routinely monitor the availability of individual Advance fare price points on specific GWR routes. Advance fares are not regulated by the Government and are managed on a commercial basis by train operators. They are priced according to demand for a particular service, and their price and availability can vary depending on the route, date and time of travel, and when the ticket is purchased.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of rail journeys between Kemble and London Paddington are made using Advance tickets rather than regulated fare products.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of rail journeys between Kemble and London Paddington are made using Advance tickets rather than regulated fare products.
The Department does not centrally hold information on how many, or what proportion of, rail journeys between Kemble and London Paddington were made on Advance tickets rather than regulated products. While detailed fares data exist within industry systems, the Department does not routinely compile journey‑by‑journey comparisons and producing this information would require bespoke analysis.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of increasing Advance rail fares on passengers who commute two or three days per week.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the impact of the reduction in the UK's Official Development Assistance budget on programmes aimed at reducing extreme poverty; and what plans he has to restore Official Development Assistance spending to 0.7...
Reducing the overall size of the UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget will necessarily have an impact on the scale and shape of the work we do to reduce extreme poverty. While it is not possible to mitigate all negative impacts of reductions, equalities impact assessments informed decision-making and ensured that allocations across multilateral programmes and central programme spending do not cause disproportionate negative equalities impacts. The Government remains committed to returning to spending 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income on ODA when the fiscal circumstances allow.

Advance fares are not regulated by the Government and are managed on a commercial basis by train operators. They are priced according to demand for a particular service and can provide savings for passengers who are able to commit to a specific train, although their price and availability vary by route, service and time of booking.
The Government recognises that affordability is vital. The Railways Bill sets out a new framework which includes a role for the Transport Secretary to ensure that fares are set to balance passenger affordability with taxpayer value. Through Great British Railways, the Government is taking steps to simplify fares and ticketing and deliver a more consistent offer across the network.
