To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has had discussions with the University of Birmingham on the future of the Global Surgery Network beyond June 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has had discussions with the University of Birmingham on the future of the Global Surgery Network beyond June 2026.
Departmental colleagues met with representatives of the University on 12 August 2025 to discuss the future of the Global Surgery Network. These discussions took place following the announcement from the Prime Minister in February 2025 to reduce Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the equivalent of 0.3% of gross national income by 2027. After this announcement, and the outcome of the 2025 Spending Review, the Department has taken the decision to focus new ODA research funding on global health security and particular diseases of poverty.
The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR)-funded Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery was originally awarded over £6.9 million in Global Health Research’s inaugural Units call in 2017 and, following a second NIHR funding competition, received a further award of £7 million in 2021 to establish a sustainable network of surgical research. This latest award is due to conclude in June 2026. The Department will honour all on-going research commitments.
We continue to recognise the critical importance of global health research to drive the health and well-being of the poorest and most vulnerable. Any updates on our funding opportunities will be reflected on the NIHR website.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many suppliers were invited to bid for contract CCZZ24A18 under the Dynamic Purchasing System; how many bids were submitted; and for what reason the University of Birmingham was selected.
Contract CCZZ24A18 was awarded following a competition run under the Crown Commercial Service Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (RM6126) agreement. A total of 453 suppliers were invited to bid and two bids were submitted. In accordance with the evaluation criteria, the University of Birmingham achieved the highest overall score on quality and price and was therefore awarded the contract.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the granting of UK Research and Innovation money to an academic at the University of Birmingham researching the impact of UK parliamentarians' remarks on international relations with China.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funds research across a range of social disciplines including the economic, political and social sciences.
The Government is bound by the Haldane principle in the 2017 Higher Education and Research Act which says that: “decisions on individual research proposals are best taken following an evaluation of the quality and likely impact of the proposals (such as a peer review process).” The Government stands by the Haldane Principle and recognises that decisions about individual projects are best left to experts in the field. As such, Government does not have a role in deciding the awarding of grants to specific research activities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many recruits will be taken on by (a) the University of Birmingham UTS and (b) Cambridge University UTS in September (i) 2015, (ii) 2016 and (iii) 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many recruits will be taken on by (a) the University of Birmingham UTS and (b) Cambridge University UTS in September (i) 2015, (ii) 2016 and (iii) 2017.
Neither of the two university training schools is open and therefore neither currently holds an allocation of places.
In the first year of opening (2015/16), the University of Cambridge Training School has no plans to take on any trainees. It plans to take on up to three trainees per year in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 academic years.
In the first three years of opening, the University of Birmingham Training School plans to host up to 12 trainees or placements from partner schools.

That this House notes that Birmingham University is one of the first publicly-funded organisations to propose ending the opportunity for new staff of joining a final salary pensions scheme; regrets this decision but notes that, over the past four years, the number of final salary schemes has fallen by over 15 per cent.; believes that, to avoid future complaints about mis-selling of stakeholder pensions, which employers are obliged to offer as an alternative, employers should be required to explain to their employees the differences in the likely pension on retirement of new schemes compared to existing schemes and any change in employer's contributions between the two; and invites the Government to consider what measures are needed to encourage employers and employees to contribute more to good-quality occupational pension schemes such as that enjoyed by honourable Members.
