To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether when new rolling stock is introduced to a railway line she requires accessibility accessories such as Harrington Humps to be relocated to ensure compatibility.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether when new rolling stock is introduced to a railway line she requires accessibility accessories such as Harrington Humps to be relocated to ensure compatibility.
The Department does not require accessibility features such as Harrington Humps to be relocated solely because new rolling stock is introduced. However, when new trains are introduced, operators and infrastructure managers are expected to ensure that stations and rolling stock remain compatible and meet applicable accessibility requirements, and this may include assessing whether platform modifications or the repositioning of accessibility features are necessary at specific locations.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the (a) shortest, (b) median, and (c) longest time was for patients to receive the results of a suspected cancer biopsy for each of the last 12 months, broken down by hospital trust.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the (a) shortest, (b) median, and (c) longest time was for patients to receive the results of a suspected cancer biopsy for each of the last 12 months, broken down by hospital trust.
The Department does not hold the data on the shortest, median, and longest time for patients to receive the results of a suspected cancer biopsy, broken down by National Health Service trust.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of developing a nationally coordinated (a) diagnosis pathway and (b) specialist service for patients with a suspected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of developing a nationally coordinated (a) diagnosis pathway and (b) specialist service for patients with a suspected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak.
Treatment for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks depends on the cause, site, and severity of the leak. CSF leaks are often treated conservatively, while others require procedures such as epidural blood patching, targeted patching, endoscopic skull-base repair, neurosurgical/spinal repair or, in selected cases, endovascular treatment of a CSF-venous fistula. These interventions are delivered through established specialist services and multidisciplinary teams.
Patients are managed through existing local and regional specialist pathways, with referral to centres with relevant expertise where required.

That this House recognises that access to affordable energy is a basic necessity and that no household should face a choice between heating their home and meeting other essential needs; notes that households continue to face significant financial pressure from energy bills following continued volatility in global gas markets; further notes that monopoly energy network operators are on course to receive up to £7 billion in unearned windfall profits under the current RIIO-2 price control framework, not through improved performance but through an unintended consequence of the regulatory system; believes those unexpected profits should be used to cut energy bills for all households rather than to enrich shareholders; also notes that this would help tackle the trend of rising energy debt, therefore supporting the resilience of our energy market; further believes that additional targeted support must be provided to vulnerable households and families with children facing high energy costs; notes reports that the Rt hon. Member for Makerfield is considering proposals similar to the Liberal Democrats' essential energy guarantee, which would provide every household with a discount on its essential energy consumption; urges him to commit to this approach for the benefit of everyone in Great Britain; and calls on the Government to bring forward permanent reforms to reduce energy bills, including a 10-year emergency home upgrade programme, reform of the electricity market to reduce reliance on global gas prices, and accelerated investment in home-grown renewable energy.

I associate myself and my party with the Deputy Prime Minister’s tribute to Sir George Howarth, and his remarks about the 7/7 bombings and all those who live with the consequences of that terrible day.
I wish England good luck for Saturday evening. As the UK braces for its seventh Prime Minister in a decade, I also thank the Deputy Prime Minister for our exchanges and wish him well in whatever role he may have next.
The hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) used to say, “Leave means leave.” But it seems that his latest stunt is to leave this place just so that he can return as a fully-fledged Member after not just one referendum on his behaviour, but possibly two. Will the Deputy Prime Minister join the Liberal Democrats in urging the Chancellor to delay the hon. Member’s resignation until the investigation is complete, so that the good people of Clacton have all the facts before they cast their votes? Failing that, will he support our “Clacton clause”, so that, even once the hon. Member ceases to be an MP, the investigations can continue?

Well, everyone can see that the Reform leader is just trying to distract from the fact that he is up to his neck in sleaze. He has serious questions to answer and he cannot run away from them. Labour is not going to be part of this circus. I hear it is the people versus the establishment: the City trader, Putin-admiring, professional politician who is pals with crypto billionaires versus Count Binface. There have been unqualified joke candidates in the past—let’s see what the people of Clacton decide.
It is clear that it is a two-horse race. [Laughter.]
On a more serious and very sombre note, MI5 has defended in court an agent who they knew to be openly misogynistic and obsessed with violence. He used his position to coercively control his girlfriend, Beth, and attack her with a machete. To add insult to injury, MI5 gave false evidence to the court. Will the Deputy Prime Minister use this opportunity to offer Beth a full apology on behalf of the Government, and will he use his position to bring back next week a full Hillsborough Bill, which covers the security services, so that we can pass the law before the summer recess?

The hon. Member raises a very serious issue. I will arrange for Beth to meet the Security Minister to discuss the matter in detail. The hon. Member also mentioned the Hillsborough Bill, and I am confident that it will be before the House in the coming days.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the extent of the use of Large Language Models in providing inaccurate advice to HMRC customers relating to (a) self-assessment and (b) corporation tax returns.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the extent of the use of Large Language Models in providing inaccurate advice to HMRC customers relating to (a) self-assessment and (b) corporation tax returns.
The Government is committed to helping taxpayers get their tax right. While the use of external Large Language Models can be helpful, they may not always provide accurate tax advice and HMRC has no control over the way these models are trained. HMRC therefore encourages customers and agents to use official guidance and services on GOV.UK when meeting their tax obligations.
This includes GOV.UK Chat an AI-powered chatbot which uses a Large Language Model within guardrails developed by HMRC and DSIT/GDS. There is evidence that the GOV.UK chatbot’s responses are robust, as evidenced by a recent article in the Daily Telegraph, which chronicled a journalist using an adversarial line of questioning, who still received accurate replies.
HMRC also works closely with software developers and industry partners to promote the responsible use of AI, helping reduce the risk of errors and supporting customers to meet their tax obligations with confidence.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what representations she has received from the investment management industry on changes regarding money market funds in stocks and shares ISAs.

At Autumn Budget 2025, the Government announced a reduction in the Cash ISA limit for those under 65, to encourage retail investment and drive better returns for savers. Rules are needed to protect the integrity of the Government’s objectives and ensure that the lower cash limit is respected.
HMRC does not currently collect data from ISA managers on investment in money market funds (MMFs) or the purpose for which they are held. MMFs are advertised by the finance industry as low risk alternatives to cash, but they are also used as temporary holding vehicles.
The new rules will not prevent investment in MMFs but ensure MMFs do not constitute the sole investment held in a stocks and shares ISA. Further details of the rules are contained in the HMRC factsheet published at Tax Update 2026 at Tax Update 2026- www.gov.uk/government/publications/fiscal-events-2026-factsheets/isa-reform-2027-anti-circumvention-rules-factsheet
The new rules are the product of extensive engagement with managers of cash and stocks and shares ISAs, alongside trade bodies and savings infrastructure suppliers. The resulting rules are as simple as possible for providers and consumers and retain maximum flexibility for consumers to build an investment portfolio that works for them.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what information her Department holds on the extent to which money market funds within stocks and shares ISAs are used as temporary holding vehicles rather than long-term cash substitutes.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the extent of the use of Large Language Models in cases of (a) tax evasion and (b) fraud.
HMRC recognises the rapid growth in the use of large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI tools and their potential to affect tax compliance. These technologies are widely accessible and are increasingly used by taxpayers and the wider general public.
Whilst HMRC has seen increasing use of LLMs, both for legitimate and for potentially fraudulent purposes, it has not yet identified evidence of widespread misuse of these tools to commit tax fraud. HMRC continues to monitor this with partners across government and internationally to understand developments and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the current Education, Health and Care Plan system in supporting children and young people with Auditory Processing Disorder.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the current Education, Health and Care Plan system in supporting children and young people with Auditory Processing Disorder.
All children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, including those with Auditory Processing Disorder, deserve the best possible educational experience.
The department will develop National Inclusion Standards that set out evidence-informed tools, strategies and approaches for educators to draw on to identify and support children and young people with additional needs, before those needs escalate. Schools cannot deliver inclusion alone, and the department is working with the NHS to expand access to expert interventions and therapies by making better use of the specialist workforce. We are providing £1.8 billion over the next three years for local area partnerships, including local authorities and Integrated Care Boards, to work together to develop a new Experts at Hand offer in every local area. Through Experts at Hand, schools will have direct access to support, advice, training and specialist expertise from professionals such as speech and language therapists and specialist teachers.
For children and young people with complex needs, we are developing Specialist Provision Packages, which will deliver comprehensive, evidence-based support for children, across a range of needs, recognising where children and young people need more specialist provision. These packages will be developed by sector experts and tested with parents and professionals to provide a consistent, high-quality special educational needs and disabilities offer for children and young people.
