To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the need for additional guidance to ensure that post-war low-rise council blocks, not covered by the Building Safety Act, are proactively inspected and maintained.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the need for additional guidance to ensure that post-war low-rise council blocks, not covered by the Building Safety Act, are proactively inspected and maintained.
Building owners are responsible for managing building safety and performance issues in their buildings in a proportionate, risk-based and evidence-based manner, and for taking action where necessary.
Existing legislation and guidance already require building owners and responsible persons to identify, assess and manage safety risks in residential buildings, including low-rise council blocks. This includes requirements under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
The Government keeps building safety requirements under review. Updated HHSRS regulations and guidance came into force in June 2026.
Current HHSRS guidance is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/housing-health-and-safety-rating-system-hhsrs-guidance.
Current FSO guidance can be found here: ‘A guide to making your small block of flats safe from fire’ and ‘Fire safety in purpose-built blocks of flats’.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what progress she has made to introduce a Special Envoy for Complex and Arbitrary Detentions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what progress she has made to introduce a Special Envoy for Complex and Arbitrary Detentions.
I know that the Hon Member has taken a long and passionate interest in this issue, both during and following the six years that she spent working for the release of her constituent, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, from detention in Iran.
I am very pleased to tell her and other Parliamentary colleagues that the Foreign Secretary has today (14 July) appointed the Rt Hon Alistair Burt, former Minister of State for the Middle East, to serve as the UK's special envoy for complex consular cases.
The new role has been created to provide additional support in particularly complex cases, including those involving concerns about the welfare of UK detainees, their entitlement to due process and the protection of their human rights. Mr Burt will help ensure that the most complex detention cases continue to receive focused senior attention, supporting the UK's efforts to secure progress and resolution.
Mr Burt will advocate on behalf of detainees and will work closely with families to ensure that their views are heard and reflected in the UK's approach. He will also support coordination across Government and advocate for resolutions in the most challenging cases, ensuring that every possible avenue is being pursued.
He brings extensive experience to this position from his previous ministerial role at the Foreign, Development & Commonwealth Office, where he established a strong track record in handling complex consular cases, including engagement with detainees' families and senior international counterparts, and navigation of sensitive issues in high-pressure environments
The hon. Member said that he wanted to take interventions. He mentioned schools. On my way into Parliament today on the Northern line, which appropriately for today’s debate was boiling, I received a number of emails from worried parents. Schools are closing early in my constituency, a lot of them...

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to improve the standards and tackle delays in the Housing Ombudsman Service.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to improve the standards and tackle delays in the Housing Ombudsman Service.
The Housing Ombudsman Service is an independent and impartial body responsible for investigating complaints about social landlords.
The Ombudsman is taking steps to improve timeliness and performance, including increasing capacity, strengthening its processes, and introducing more proportionate approaches to investigations.
Through its Business Plan 2026/27, which can be found here, the Ombudsman has set out a programme of work to reduce the number of older cases and improve the speed of case resolution. This includes increasing its workforce and introducing a multi‑year caseload reduction strategy focused on delivering faster outcomes for residents.
The Ombudsman has also increased its membership fees, paid by landlords, to support these improvements and ensure it has the resources needed to respond to rising demand.
One of my constituents is a former care leaver who is facing immense health conditions and he can no longer work. Given the lack of family and social support that many care leavers experience, they are uniquely vulnerable to financial insecurity. Can the Minister confirm that the experiences of care leavers are being considered as part of the Timms review?

Given the lack of family and social support that many care leavers experience, they are uniquely vulnerable to financial insecurity. Can the Minister confirm that the experiences of care leavers are being considered as part of the Timms review?
If the care leavers are PIP recipients —I think that is probably the case in the example my hon. Friend has given—we are certainly considering that point. If this issue is one that she thinks we need to reflect on in the review, I would be keen to hear about such experiences.
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. During Prime Minister’s questions today, the Leader of the Opposition called the Secretary of State for Education a “spiteful class warrior”, and previously she has compared her to a Gestapo officer. I started working in Parliament when I was a teenager, and...

As you will be aware, Mr Speaker, Monday was Windrush Day, founded by Patrick Vernon to celebrate the contribution of migrants to our community. Will the Prime Minister outline exactly what this Government are doing to recognise and serve the Windrush generation, who did so much to play a vital role in our country’s history?

I join my hon. Friend in marking Windrush Day and thank her for raising it, because it gives me the opportunity to thank a community who made an extraordinary contribution to our country, and to remember the injustice that they faced. I am proud that we have overhauled the compensation scheme to deliver faster access to compensation and justice, providing £1.5 million for organisations supporting claimants, and we have appointed the first ever Windrush commissioner to rebuild trust and deliver justice. I am incredibly proud to lead a country that is built on dignity and respect, where everyone is seen and everyone is valued.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps his Department has taken to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to lower the unit cost of the drug Enhertu.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps his Department has taken to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to lower the unit cost of the drug Enhertu.
Ministers met with the manufacturers of Enhertu, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo, in November 2024 to encourage them to engage constructively with NHS England and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to reach a commercial agreement that would enable patient access for patients with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer.
Enhertu for HER-2 low metastatic breast cancer remains the only breast cancer treatment that NICE has been unable to recommend for patients in the last eight years. This was because, at the price offered by the company in 2024, the treatment was too expensive for the benefits it provided and NICE concluded it was not cost effective. Despite NICE and NHS England offering unprecedented flexibilities, the companies were unable to offer Enhertu at a cost-effective price.
As part of the US-UK trade arrangement, announced in December 2025, NICE is now using a new higher cost-effectiveness threshold. Given these new circumstances, discussions involving NICE, the manufacturers and NHS England have resumed to try to seek agreement on a commercial offer that would make Enhertu cost effective. NICE stands ready to consider reviewing the guidance if new evidence, including a new commercial offer, were to be put forward by the company.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent steps his Department has taken to help those migrating from legacy benefits to universal credit.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent steps his Department has taken to help those migrating from legacy benefits to universal credit.
All customers have access to support throughout the process, including the Move to Universal Credit Helpline and independent Help to Claim support provided by Citizens Advice, which offers tailored assistance to help people make and manage their claim.
We also provide eligible customers with Transitional Protection where their Universal Credit entitlement would otherwise be lower than their previous legacy benefit award, ensuring their entitlement is protected at the point of migration.
We recognise that some groups, including Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) customers may be more vulnerable. For these customers, enhanced support is in place from the point they receive their Migration Notice. This includes the Enhanced Support Journey, which offers tailored contact and visiting officer support where appropriate for those who have not yet engaged.
In addition, we have identified that some customers require a personal or corporate appointee but may not have arrangements in place ahead of the ESA closure date. In such cases, we will exempt these customers from the closure date to ensure they are not disadvantaged. This does not mean ESA will remain in payment indefinitely and a final closure date for these customers will be determined in due course.

This country is a world leader in financial services because we adhere to high standards. Both the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority have powers to enforce regulation, the ability to apply a range of sanctions to firms and individuals who breach their rules, and to prosecute offences in the criminal courts.

Moving on slightly from Northern Ireland to Kilburn, in my constituency, there are a lot of gambling shops and casinos on Kilburn High Road. A constituent recently told me she had entered into the Gambling Commission’s self-exclusion agreement. Her regular casino knew that, but still allowed her in, and she...

“many in the community are fearful”.

I agree with the hon. Member. One of the things that has struck me is how few people actually understand what the condition is. I was having a conversation with someone who I would say is a fairly well-informed man, and he said to me, “I thought it was just...
