To ask His Majesty's Government how many suspected breaches of the Medicines (Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone Analogues) (Restrictions on Private Sales and Supplies) Order 2024 (SI 2024/1319) have been (1) reported to, and (2) investigated by the medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency since 1 January 2025; and what enforcement action has resulted.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many suspected breaches of the Medicines (Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone Analogues) (Restrictions on Private Sales and Supplies) Order 2024 (SI 2024/1319) have been (1) reported to, and (2) investigated by the medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency since 1 January 2025; and what enforcement action has resulted.
In August 2025, the Government launched a call for evidence on private, non-National Health Service prescribing, which included an invitation for views on online prescribing, hormone prescribing, and prescribing by practitioners based in the European Economic Area. We are considering the evidence and next steps.
Since 1 January 2025, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has received three reports of suspected breaches of the Order cited by the Noble Baroness. All three reports were investigated, but no offences were identified and no criminal enforcement action was taken. In one case, the agency referred safeguarding concerns to the relevant local multi-agency safeguarding team, notified the relevant European regulatory authority about the prescribing doctor’s activities, and passed information about a possible breach by a registered pharmacy to the General Pharmaceutical Council.

The BBC is responsible for the collection and enforcement of the licence fee. The Government is therefore not involved in TV Licensing operations and does not hold information on its processes.
The Government expects the BBC to collect the licence fee in an efficient and proportionate manner, in line with its Charter requirements.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of hare coursing on rural communities; and what steps they are taking to strengthen enforcement and protect wildlife.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of hare coursing on rural communities; and what steps they are taking to strengthen enforcement and protect wildlife.
Hare coursing remains a national wildlife crime priority and is one of the offences for which police forces most frequently seek support from the National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU). Defra is providing £530,000 to the NWCU in 2026/27, strengthening its intelligence, data analysis and financial investigation capabilities to help disrupt criminal networks, identify illicit profits, and bring offenders to justice.
New sentencing guidelines for hare coursing came into force on 1 June 2026. These should help ensure the courts fully recognise the significant harm and intimidation this serious crime poses to wildlife, farmers, and others across rural areas.
This Government cannot confirm offending levels as hare coursing is not a ‘notifiable crime’. Hare coursing can also be ‘hidden’ under notifiable offences such as criminal damage if it has taken place as part of the same incident.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what operational indicators are used by her Department to determine whether the immigration system is being effectively controlled and enforced.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what operational indicators are used by her Department to determine whether the immigration system is being effectively controlled and enforced.
In March 2026, the Departmental Board confirmed the Home Office’s commitment to regular monitoring of performance and delivery through the Home Office Performance System. The Board forms the collective strategic leadership of the Home Office with a broad purpose to steer and scrutinise the department’s strategy, performance and capability.
Like any Government department, the Home Office uses a range of internal performance measures, planning assumptions and delivery mechanisms to manage resources and track progress against priorities. This information helps officials to understand demand, monitor operational performance and ensure we meet our legal and statutory responsibilities. These include a broad range of internal measures on the number of small boat crossings, asylum hotels, returns, and measures on keeping our borders secure and protecting the public.
Information on the operational performance of the immigration system can be ascertained from published records in the form of the Home Office’s Annual Reports, Migration Transparency data and Home Office Statistics These are publicly available on Gov.uk.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many GP practices have been assessed as not complying with the contractual requirement to provide online access during core hours since 1 October 2025; and what action is being taken to increase compliance.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many GP practices have been assessed as not complying with the contractual requirement to provide online access during core hours since 1 October 2025; and what action is being taken to increase compliance.
I refer the Noble Lord to the answer provided on 6 July in response to Question HL1318, which, for ease of reference, is reproduced below.
General practices (GPs) are independent business that hold contracts with the National Health Service to perform essential services to the public. We require practices to provide online consultation tools. From 1 October 2025, GPs have been required to offer access to online services throughout core hours, 8:00am to 18:30pm, bringing online access in line with walk-in and phone access. This change aims to improve patient access, reduce long phone queues, and help GPs manage demand more effectively
NHS England collects data on GP appointments, online consultation submissions, and cloud-based telephony. This data shows that 99% of practices have reported having an online consultation system in place. Where a practice does not comply with these contractual requirements, it may be in breach of contract. Patients who have concerns should contact their practice in the first instance, or raise the matter with their local integrated care board.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the oral statement by the Prime Minister of 1 September 2026, Official Report, whether she plans to revoke Regulation 45 of the Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the oral statement by the Prime Minister of 1 September 2026, Official Report, whether she plans to revoke Regulation 45 of the Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992.
The Government has no plans to ban councils from using enforcement agents to recover unpaid council tax. Councils are expected to act sympathetically towards those in hardship and use enforcement powers proportionately, but it is right that they retain appropriate tools to recover debt where necessary.
The Government recognises concerns about enforcement agents’ actions when recovering council tax and is taking steps to strengthen the oversight of the enforcement sector. On 28 August 2026, the Minister for Courts and Legal Services announced that all private enforcement agents will be subject to independent oversight by the Enforcement Conduct Board. This will give people who are facing enforcement action and are struggling financially greater protection and access to an independent complaints’ procedure.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, how many investigations into suspected phoenix company activity have been undertaken by the Insolvency Service in each of the last five years; and how many resulted in enforcement action.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, how many investigations into suspected phoenix company activity have been undertaken by the Insolvency Service in each of the last five years; and how many resulted in enforcement action.
The Insolvency Service did not, before April 2025, record investigations in a way that consistently identifies every case where phoenix activity formed part of the misconduct. Partial management information may be identified, but it would not provide a complete picture because phoenix activity may have been recorded under wider misconduct allegations. Internal management information for 2025/26 shows 123 civil investigations and 50 criminal investigations connected with abusive phoenix behaviours. Enforcement outcomes connected with abusive phoenix behaviours in 2025/26 included 88 director disqualifications, 18 companies being wound up and 5 criminal convictions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential economic impact of improving international intellectual property enforcement for UK creative businesses.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential economic impact of improving international intellectual property enforcement for UK creative businesses.
The UK Government recognises that intellectual property (IP) enforcement is essential to supporting growth for UK creators, rights holders and businesses operating internationally to secure returns on investment in innovation and creativity.
While no specific assessment has been made of the potential impact of improving international IP enforcement for UK creative businesses, the OECD has estimated trade in goods infringing UK IP rights was worth £12.1 billion in 2021, with associated sales, jobs and public revenue impacts.
The Intellectual Property Office supports UK businesses protecting their rights overseas by working with international partners, law enforcement and industry to strengthen IP enforcement frameworks.
My Lords, I have to say that I take great issue with what the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, has just said. It is perfectly possible to have sensible housing development that is wildlife friendly; indeed, we have to have that. I remember in my days of political campaigning walking around...
