That this House recognises the fundamental democratic right of British citizens to engage in peaceful protest; acknowledges the legitimate public concern regarding illegal migration and the arrival of people in the United Kingdom through unlawful Channel crossings; believes that citizens must be free to express opposition to the Government’s immigration and border policies without being dismissed, insulted or unfairly characterised for doing so; affirms that peaceful protest must remain protected irrespective of whether those in positions of political authority agree with its message; further recognises the particular impact of illegal Channel crossings and associated disruption upon British communities; and calls on His Majesty’s Government to restore effective control of the United Kingdom’s borders, enforce immigration law and ensure that those with no lawful right to remain in the United Kingdom are removed.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has independently assessed the clinical benefits and effectiveness of Wegovy.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent body responsible for developing authoritative, evidence-based recommendations for the National Health Service on whether new licensed medicines represent a clinically and cost-effective use of resources.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether guidance is issued to schools on assessing the eligibility of pupils to wear kirpans on school premises.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether guidance is issued to schools on assessing the eligibility of pupils to wear kirpans on school premises.
Headteachers have my full support in ensuring schools are safe. Schools are advised by the department that decisions on uniform need to consider their individual circumstances, taking into account both religious freedom and pupil safety.
It should be possible for most religious requirements to be met within a uniform policy and many schools have arrangements in place to allow the wearing of kirpans alongside sensible safeguards, for example limiting their size and requiring them to be sheathed and further enclosed in a securely fastened cushioned pouch.
The department’s advice for schools on developing school uniform policies is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-uniform/school-uniforms. The government keeps all its guidance under regular review.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department's guidance permits schools to make participation in school events, trips, and extracurricular activities conditional on achieving a minimum attendance rate.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department's guidance permits schools to make participation in school events, trips, and extracurricular activities conditional on achieving a minimum attendance rate.
The department’s guidance does not prescribe how school attendance rewards and incentives are applied. Decisions about their operation are generally matters for individual schools, reflecting their circumstances and the needs of their pupils.
Where schools choose to link attendance to access to particular activities, we would expect them to do so carefully, proportionately and without discrimination. They should consider reward systems that are inclusive and appropriate for all pupils including those with disabilities or long-term health conditions.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individuals evacuated under Operation Pitting and granted indefinite leave to remain have voluntarily returned to Afghanistan; and whether such travel negates a continuing need for protection in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individuals evacuated under Operation Pitting and granted indefinite leave to remain have voluntarily returned to Afghanistan; and whether such travel negates a continuing need for protection in the UK.
The Home Office publishes Afghan Operational data, including information on arrivals and grants of indefinite leave to remain under the Afghan schemes. This publication is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/afghan-resettlement-programme-operational-data.
Data on the number of individuals evacuated under Operation Pitting and subsequently granted indefinite leave to remain who have voluntarily returned to Afghanistan are not included in and are not available at this time
Travel to Afghanistan does not automatically negate an individual's eligibility for, or benefit from, an Afghan Resettlement Scheme.
Afghan Resettlement Schemes do not prohibit individuals who have been granted settlement in the UK from travelling to Afghanistan. As with other holders of ILR, settled status will normally lapse automatically if an individual remains outside the UK for a continuous period of two years or more.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what oversight and accountability arrangements are in place to regulate the content of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) in schools.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what oversight and accountability arrangements are in place to regulate the content of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) in schools.
Relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) is subject to statutory guidance, which schools must have regard to when developing and delivering their curriculum. Governing bodies, academy trusts and school proprietors are responsible for ensuring that RSHE is taught in accordance with legal requirements and the statutory guidance, including consultation with parents. Ofsted inspects schools’ safeguarding arrangements and wider personal development, which includes evaluating whether pupils receive a comprehensive and age-appropriate RSHE curriculum.
All schools must have an up-to-date written policy for relationships education or, where they teach sex education, for relationships and sex education (RSE). Statutory RSHE guidance requires schools to consult parents on their RSHE policy and provide examples of the resources they plan to use. The department is clear that parents should be able to view curriculum materials on request, and schools should not enter into arrangements that prevent them from sharing RSHE resources with parents.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what procedures exist for investigating complaints concerning the content of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) taught in schools.
All schools are required to have a school complaints procedure. Concerns about the content of relationships, sex and health education taught in a school should, in the first instance, be raised with the school through its complaints process. If a complainant has concerns about the way the school has handled their complaint, they may raise the matter with the department to consider whether the school has followed its published complaints procedure and complied with relevant legal and statutory requirements.
