To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve the long-term financial sustainability of universities, particularly in the light of rising operating costs, the declining real-terms value of tuition fees, and changes in international student recruitment.

The department remains committed to creating a secure future for the higher education (HE) sector. The Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper sets out our commitment to placing the sector on a more sustainable footing, supporting providers to drive efficiency, strengthening financial resilience, and adopting more effective operating models. We increased tuition fee caps in line with inflation in 2025/26 and are doing the same in 2026/27 and 2027/28.
HE providers are independent from government and are responsible for managing their finances. We encourage providers to work with their staff to develop sustainable business models that retain talent and expertise and provide stability for the workforce and the institution.
The department continues to work closely with the Office for Students to understand the sector’s changing financial landscape.
The International Education Strategy has confirmed our continued commitment to welcome international students who meet the requirements to study in the UK.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on the proportion of the operating costs of (a) The Myton Hospices and (b) The Shakespeare Hospice is met by NHS Coventry and Warwickshire; and what assessment he has made of trends in the...
As hospices are independent charitable organisations, neither the Department nor NHS England collect data on their financial accounts, therefore, we do not hold information on what proportion of operating costs are met by the NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) for either The Myton Hospice or The Shakespeare Hospice.
We know that the amount of funding each charitable hospice receives varies both within and between ICB areas. This will vary depending on demand in that ICB area but will also be dependent on the totality and type of palliative and end of life care provision from both NHS and non-NHS services, including charitable hospices, within each ICB area.
We recognise that there is currently a mix of contracting models in the hospice sector, with some ICBs using NHS standard contracts and others using grant funding, and sometimes a combination of both. We want to shift towards the strategic commissioning of hospice services and away from short term grants.
We are developing a Modern Service Framework (MSF) for Palliative Care and End-of-Life Care and recently published an interim update on how it is progressing.
In the interim update, we set out that we expect all ICBs to complete an integrated needs assessment, to gain a detailed understanding of their current and future population, including people of all ages with palliative care and end-of-life care needs. We are asking ICBs to move to sustainable contracting of adult, and children and young people’s, hospice services, based on their integrated needs assessment. Initially, this will involve the move away from short-term grant funding for adult hospice services from 2027/28.
The MSF will embed palliative care and end-of-life care within a strategic commissioning model that is centred on clear and transparent contractual arrangements for commissioned palliative care activity across all providers, including hospices, to meet population health needs, with explicit regard to reducing inequalities and improving outcomes for underserved and disadvantaged groups.

The Government has introduced reforms to the protection system to ensure that protection is provided where it is needed, while also creating a fair and sustainable immigration system.
With regards to costs and legal aid provision, only people who stay on Core Protection will have their status reviewed every 30 months, with a 20-year route to settlement. Those who switch into the work and study route will be able to earn down the 20-year period.
The approach to reviewing status will be efficient and targeted; we will reassess where country conditions or personal circumstances have changed significantly. Renewal applications will be simple, negating the need for applicants to routinely require legal advice prior to applying.
We will build on efficiencies such as our policy search tool or case summarisation which are already assisting asylum decision makers. We will continue to monitor staffing levels and will deploy our workforce flexibly subject to business needs as we have done in the past.
The full details of the Core Protection offer, and the Protection Work and Study route, remain subject to further policy development which will be set out in due course.
Those who need to seek immigration advice from an immigration adviser for help regarding permission to stay in the UK (including how to check the eligibility for legal aid which can help pay for legal advice) can find information here: Find an immigration adviser - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Legal aid is overseen by the Ministry of Justice.
The Asylum and Immigration Bill provides powers to require adults who have received asylum support and accommodation to make a contribution towards those costs where they are financially able to do so. Detailed design of the scheme, including repayment thresholds, exemptions, repayment rates, mechanisms for collection and operational delivery, will be set out in secondary legislation following Royal Assent. As these elements have not yet been finalised it would be premature to provide an estimate of future revenue. The Government will set out further information in due course.
