That this House welcomes the longlisting of Middlesbrough for UK City of Culture 2029; recognises the town’s cultural contribution, including the forthcoming Turner Prize, the recent £4.25m investment through the Cultural Development Fund into Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, Middlesbrough Central Library and The Auxiliary, and the rapidly-growing video games and digital sector; notes the town's growing cultural ambition, looking ahead to the tricentenary of Captain James Cook's birth in 2028 and to Middlesbrough's bicentenary in 2030 and 2031; believes that City of Culture status would be a catalyst for increased investment and job creation, helping to bring new life to local arts, tourism and business; applauds the leadership of Mayor Chris Cooke in driving forward a new chapter for Middlesbrough; and expresses strong support for Middlesbrough's bid, recognising its rich history, vibrant creativity, and bright future.

As of May 2024, Middlesbrough has 681 special school places, and 369 special educational needs (SEN) unit or resourced provision places. Stockton-on-Tees has 667 special school places and 207 SEN unit or resourced provision places.
The statutory duty to provide sufficient school places, including for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), sits with local authorities. The department supports local authorities to provide suitable school places for children and young people with SEND through annual high needs capital funding, including through the £740 million confirmed for the 2025/26 financial year. Of this funding, Middlesbrough has been allocated £1.4 million and Stockton-on-Tees has been allocated £2.2 million.
This funding is intended to create resourced provision adapted to support pupils needs. It can also be used to adapt mainstream schools to be more accessible and to create special school places for pupils with the most complex needs.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Regulator of Social Housing's statistics entitled Private registered provider social housing stock and rents in England 2023 to 2024, published on 29 October 2024, for what reason 544 private registered provider properties in Middlesbrough...

Units are likely to be reported as temporarily unavailable when works are being carried out as part of Private Registered Providers’ stock condition remediation and energy efficiency works.
This is set out in the Regulator of Social Housing’s “Private Registered Provider Social Housing Stock In England – Sector Characteristics and Stock Movement” report for 2023-24, available on gov.uk here.
Those reported as permanently unavailable may be scheduled for significant work, restructure, or demolition.
Variation in the number of permanently unavailable units will be driven by multiple factors such as re-development programmes and individual approaches by Private Registered Providers to asset management.
The government encourages social housing providers to develop solutions that make best use of the social housing stock and minimise void periods where possible.
I am delighted that residents in Park End and Ormesby will soon see the state-of-the-art new Southlands Centre sports facility coming to east Middlesbrough.

Absolutely; it is a winning performance from a strong Labour team and it is a winning effort in puns. They are normally my speciality, but I cannot beat my hon. Friend on that one.

We acknowledge the delayed release of the final report for the Early Legal Advice Pilot (ELAP) beyond the initially projected timeline.
The Ministry of Justice commissioned an independent research company to conduct the research and evaluation for ELAP. This process involved a feasibility study, which recommended a 'test pilot' to assess assumptions before proceeding to a full-scale pilot. During the test pilot, there was limited uptake of advice, and various methods were tried to enhance awareness and participation. Unfortunately, these attempts were unsuccessful, leading to the decision not to advance to the full trial after the completion of the test pilot phase. Subsequent evaluation work was carried out, and the draft reports have recently undergone independent external peer review.
We plan to publish all ELAP outputs in accordance with Government Social Research protocols in early 2024. These outputs will encompass the feasibility study report, a study exploring the potential for value for money modelling, and a final evaluation report.

In 2019, the Outwood Academy Riverside free school application in Middlesbrough was approved, with its first year 7 intake arriving the following year. There have been further intakes every year since, but there is still no new building. I have had no response to my request for a meeting with the Secretary of State, but that original intake are destined to spend their entire secondary education in various temporary adapted premises. With pupils being shunted around old buildings, talk of levelling up and addressing the GCSE attainment gap rings hollow. Will the Prime Minister and his Education Secretary get off their derrières and sort this out?

I am happy to ensure that the hon. Gentleman gets an answer to his specific question on that school, but more generally I am proud of what the Government are doing in Teesside and Tees Valley to support education, not only with the recent announcement of new sixth forms, but also it is an education investment area receiving extra funding and resources. That is why we have seen standards in reading and maths increase considerably, and we are determined to keep going.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department’s Early Legal Advice Pilot Scheme, how many clients received legal advice under the terms of the scheme in (a) Manchester and (b) Middlesbrough from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023; and when he will publish the...

From November 2022 to March 2023, approximately 27,000 invitations were sent to residents of Manchester and Middlesbrough who were identified as having early-stage housing-related debt, inviting them to participate in the Early Legal Advice Pilot (ELAP).
104 people completed the survey to apply to participate (which was necessary for data collection and protection purposes). According to Legal Aid Agency records in May 2023, three individuals from Middlesbrough requested and attended the free legal advice sessions under the pilot and there was no take-up in Manchester up to 31 March 2023. This highlights the challenges of engaging individuals dealing with early-stage housing, debt and social welfare issues.
It is important to note that this phase of the pilot was primarily designed to identify potential issues before considering a larger-scale rollout, rather than aiming to maximise the number of clients served. The evaluation has gathered valuable insights on the nature and implementation of such pilots as well as the barriers to engagement. The evaluation report is currently being finalised and is expected to be published by the end of summer 2023.

That this House is dismayed that the pioneering Middlesbrough Diamorphine-Assisted Treatment programme has closed due to the withdrawal of funding; applauds the exemplary efforts of Danny Ahmed and his colleagues at the addiction treatment clinic in helping to save and rebuild lives; recognises the success of this scheme in providing invaluable health benefits to participants and reducing offending and criminal justice costs significantly, as verified by Teesside University’s independent evaluation; acknowledges that drug deaths are at record levels, with people in Middlesbrough statistically more likely to die from a drug-related death than a car accident; notes that the Government’s Drugs Strategy, From Harm to Hope, published a year ago, stated that the cost of drug misuse is absolutely staggering and the human toll is incalculably larger, measured not in pounds lost but in lives shattered; further notes that the strategy stressed the need for evidence-based interventions and innovation, and identified Middlesbrough as the area worst-affected by opiate use; reaffirms the cross-party views of the Home Affairs Committee and the Drugs, Alcohol and Justice APPG that this evidence-based and cost-effective treatment scheme should be continued; and calls on the Government to ensure that the Middlesbrough Diamorphine-Assisted Treatment is rescued and restored at the earliest opportunity and sustainable funding can be secured.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the effect on patients of the closure of the Diamorphine Assisted Treatment (DAT) clinic in Middlesbrough given that Project ADDER, in part, covers enhanced treatment and recovery services.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the effect on patients of the closure of the Diamorphine Assisted Treatment (DAT) clinic in Middlesbrough given that Project ADDER, in part, covers enhanced treatment and recovery services.
As set out in our ten-year Strategy, this Government is committed to a whole-system approach to tackling drugs which gives people with an addiction access to treatment to assist recovery. The safety and wellbeing of patients receiving treatment is our top priority. Middlesbrough Council has assured us that all patients transitioning from Diamorphine/Heroin Assisted Treatment, following the local authority’s decision to close this service, have received bespoke transition planning to maintain safety and appropriate care.
Through Project ADDER (Addiction, Diversion, Disruption, Enforcement and Recovery) we have provided £4.58m in funding to Middlesborough between 2020-2023 to drive a one-system approach to tackling drugs. The Project ADDER approach brings together co-ordinated law enforcement activity, diversionary programmes and enhanced treatment and recovery provisions. Local funding decisions for the provision of treatment and recovery services are made by the local authority.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department consulted with Stockon Borough Council on its decision to move the Department for Work and Pensions office in Stockton to Middlesbrough.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department consulted with Stockon Borough Council on its decision to move the Department for Work and Pensions office in Stockton to Middlesbrough.
As part of the Department’s plans to reshape how, when and where the Department works (resulting in a smaller, greener and better estate); we plan to move colleagues and services from Stockton-on-Tees to Middlesbrough James Cook House which is approximately 5.2 miles away. The planned move is to an existing DWP building and as such, no consultation with Stockton Borough Council took place.
I thank the hon. Gentleman for highlighting good examples of best practice, particularly in getting offenders off drugs. We know that that is the key, along with skills and getting them into work. If he writes to me on the facts of the case, I will certainly make sure that we look at it very carefully.

The much-heralded diamorphine assisted treatment programme in my constituency has been running for two and a half years and produced some remarkable results, including a massive reduction in crime and the call on other health services. Sadly, the funding has now been withdrawn. If this programme unravels, all that work will be undone, so will a Minister meet me at the facility to discuss how we might secure its future?
