To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether his Department has assessed the potential impact of improved paternity leave and pay on families expecting a child.
The Government recognises the current system could do more to support the many dads and partners who want to be more actively involved in supporting their partner and take on a more equal role in caring for their children.
That is why we are currently undertaking a Review of the Parental Leave and Pay system. This will conclude in early 2027 with a set of findings in which the Government will outline next steps for taking any potential reforms forward to implementation.
All current Parental Leave and Pay entitlements are in scope of the Review, including Paternity Leave and Pay.

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what progress her Department has made in (a) reforming the secondary ticketing market and (b) preventing the resale of live event tickets for profit.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what progress her Department has made in (a) reforming the secondary ticketing market and (b) preventing the resale of live event tickets for profit.
We are fully committed to putting fans first by ending the scourge of industrial-scale ticket touting and protecting consumers on the secondary ticketing market. We announced legislative plans in the King’s Speech briefing to prohibit the resale of a live events ticket for more than the original cost. This will mean that ticket touting will no longer be a profitable business in the UK, whilst still allowing genuine fans to safely resell tickets for events they can no longer attend.
We will publish the draft bill in this session of parliament for pre-legislative scrutiny by the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, with the support of the Business and Trade Committee, to ensure that the legislation is effective, enforceable and future-proof.
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what cross-government mechanisms are in place to monitor and assess compliance by public bodies with their obligations under the Equality Act 2010 to establish, record, implement and comply with reasonable adjustments regarding communication preferences for disabled and vulnerable service users.
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what cross-government mechanisms are in place to monitor and assess compliance by public bodies with their obligations under the Equality Act 2010 to establish, record, implement and comply with reasonable adjustments regarding communication preferences for disabled and vulnerable service users.
The Equality Act 2010 (the Act) places a duty on service providers and those who exercise public functions to make reasonable adjustments, to improve services for disabled service users or potential service users.
The duty on service providers is anticipatory. This requires service providers to consider reasonable adjustments even before an individual disabled person accesses their services.
The duty to make reasonable adjustments creates a powerful, flexible duty to ensure that disabled people are entitled to the same opportunities as everyone else, without imposing unreasonable burdens on service providers.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has a monitoring and enforcement role in relation to the Act, including in relation to the duty to make reasonable adjustments. It has statutory powers to enforce compliance with the Act, and to challenge organisations where required. The EHRC is independent from the government and makes its own operational decisions on enforcement and regulation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress has been made on commissioning a retrospective sample audit of the POP/SUI database to work out the risk percentage of mesh complication experienced by women.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress has been made on commissioning a retrospective sample audit of the POP/SUI database to work out the risk percentage of mesh complication experienced by women.
Surgery for patients experiencing complications associated with vaginal mesh is supported by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Patient Decision Aids (PDAs) developed alongside NICE guideline NG123, titled Urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in women: management.
The PDAs describe a range of management options, including both partial mesh removal and complete mesh removal where clinically appropriate. They recognise that complete mesh removal may not always be technically feasible or clinically appropriate, depending on the type, location, and extent of the mesh, and that some patients may require further surgery following an initial partial removal if symptoms persist.
According to data from the Hospital Episode Statistics, 234 episodes of total removal of vaginal mesh and 185 episodes of partial removal of vaginal mesh were recorded from 2021/22 to 2025/26.
Information on how many mesh removal surgeons are performing mesh removals since the setting up of the nine specialist removal centres in 2021 is not held centrally.
In April 2026, NICE reviewed its guideline NG123 and concluded that there was insufficient new evidence to warrant changes to the relevant recommendations. It is aware of ongoing reviews into the care of mesh-harmed women and will consider any impact on its recommendations once outcomes are published.
The sample audit of the POP/SUI database has been completed and it has been used to inform future commissioning of services.
The specification for complications of mesh inserted for urinary incontinence, vaginal or internal, and external rectal prolapse states that specialised mesh centres must use trust appraisal systems to ensure that surgeons are appropriately trained, current in their practice, that they adhere to clinical and NICE guidance, comply with Pelvic Floor Registry data requirements, and report any complications.
