To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to reduce waiting times for Child Arrangements Order proceedings in (a) Surrey and (b) Surrey Heath constituency.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to reduce waiting times for Child Arrangements Order proceedings in (a) Surrey and (b) Surrey Heath constituency.
The Ministry of Justice is committed to improving timeliness in child arrangement proceedings, and the Family Justice Board regularly monitors timeliness data against performance targets it has set both regionally and nationally.
The roll out of Child Focused Courts represents a significant reform to family private law. Families benefit from a streamlined, problem-solving approach which brings forward a holistic assessment of needs and risks and enables the court to make safe decisions without delay.
Data from the 10 areas already operating the model shows cases are being resolved up to twice as fast as the national average, and outstanding cases have fallen by over 50%. Although the model is not yet operational in Surrey, the Government recently announced the national rollout of Child Focused Courts across England and Wales by March 2029. As part of a phased approach to rollout, we will work to ensure all areas are preparing for implementation of the model.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment she has made of the reasons why Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board recorded the highest rate of postpartum haemorrhage involving blood loss of 1,500 millilitres or more in England in 2025.
Improving maternity safety and reducing inequalities across the country is a priority for the Government, including in Surrey Heartlands. The Maternal Care Bundle sets clear standards across services by bringing together best practice to help tackle the leading causes of maternal death and harm, improve consistency of care, and reduce inequalities. One of its five elements focuses specifically on obstetric haemorrhage, including postpartum haemorrhage, and sets out best practice to support its prevention, recognition, and management.
NHS England publishes annual trust-level data on reported postpartum haemorrhages involving blood loss of 1,500 millilitres or more, including data for trusts in Surrey Heartlands, through the Maternity and Neonatal Equalities Dashboard, with further information available at the following link:
https://digital.nhs.uk/dashboards/maternity-and-neonatal-equalities-dashboard
Monthly data from April 2019, together with information on data quality, is available in the Maternity Services Monthly Statistics, which are available at the following link:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Best Value intervention currently in place for councils in Surrey will remain in place, in whole or in part, when the new two unitary councils in Surrey are vested.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Best Value intervention currently in place for councils in Surrey will remain in place, in whole or in part, when the new two unitary councils in Surrey are vested.
The Commissioner-led Best Value interventions currently in place in Woking and Spelthorne will come to an end when those councils are abolished in April 2027. The current statutory intervention arrangements will not transfer automatically to the new authority.
Commissioners are working closely with Woking and Spelthorne councils and the shadow authority as Local Government Reorganisation continues to be implemented, helping to ensure that key financial, commercial and governance risks are understood and managed through the transition. We will continue to engage closely with West Surrey and consider what support may be appropriate following vesting day.

It is the responsibility of councils to manage their budgets, and it is standard for councils to borrow and to hold debt. Local authorities provide the Government with data on their borrowing, including source of borrowing. The data can be found at Live tables on local government finance - GOV.UK.
On 28 October 2025, we announced our unprecedented commitment to repay in-principle £500 million of Woking Borough Council’s debt in 2026-27, and we have now started this process. This commitment reflects that the council holds significant unsupported debt due to historic capital practices, and the value for money case for acting to protect taxpayers from the increasing cost of debt. This is a first tranche of debt repayment support, and we will continue to explore what further debt support is required at a later point. Any support must take account of value of money for local and national taxpayers.
We have committed to provide interim financial support to the new council until a final decision is made, and any support must take account of value for money. The Department continues to work closely with West Surrey shadow authority. On 15 July 2026, my predecessor Minister McGovern asked a new single Commissioner team across Woking and Spelthorne to work with the new councils to provide advice, challenge, and independent assurance and I encourage the shadow authority to work closely with the Commissioner team.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what guidance her Department provides to local authorities on evidential standards when measuring walking distances for home-to-school transport eligibility in Surrey.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what guidance her Department provides to local authorities on evidential standards when measuring walking distances for home-to-school transport eligibility in Surrey.
It is the responsibility of local authorities (LAs) to measure routes and determine whether a child lives beyond the statutory walking distance from their school. Our statutory guidance explains that, when making this assessment, LAs must measure the shortest route along which a child, accompanied as necessary, may walk in reasonable safety. This includes sections that use footpaths or bridleways, as well as sections that use roads. The guidance is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/home-to-school-travel.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to review the presumption that a child can be accompanied by a parent when determining whether a walking route to school is available in Surrey.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to review the presumption that a child can be accompanied by a parent when determining whether a walking route to school is available in Surrey.
As a general rule, a child who lives within the statutory walking distance of their school, and is able to walk to school accompanied by an adult, will not be eligible for free travel on the grounds of their special educational needs and disability, their mobility problem or the safety of the route.
However, the department’s statutory guidance makes it clear that local authorities should not have a blanket policy of never arranging free travel for a child who would be able to walk to school if they were accompanied. Additionally, where a parent provides good reasons why they are unable to accompany their child, the local authority should decide based on the circumstances of the case. The department currently has no plans to review this guidance. The guidance is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/home-to-school-travel.

In the Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, we have committed to expanding access to tailored interventions for domestic abuse and stalking perpetrators across England and Wales.
The Home Office has launched a £74.5 million competition for the Domestic Abuse and Stalking Perpetrator Intervention Fund which will provide funding over two and a half years (until 31 March 2029).
The competition is open to all Police and Crime Commissioners, and includes interventions tailored to different domestic abuse and stalking perpetrator cohorts and for the first time, ringfenced funding for interventions for children who use harm.

In the Cabinet Statement of 31 July, we set out our intention that mayors will keep a share of local income tax, replacing central government grants, beginning in 2028. For areas to benefit from this – including Surrey – they will need to be part of a Mayoral Strategic Authority.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what is the role of the new local assurance board in Surrey.
The government is committed to working closely with councils to ensure the right support is available throughout local government reorganisation implementation to mitigate key risks and challenges. As part of this, we have established an Implementation Forum to provide assurance and support for Surrey. Its role is to identify and mitigate risks that could affect delivery, secure cross-government coordination, and identify any support required to enable successful implementation.
As such, the Surrey Implementation Forum will support the successful establishment of East Surrey Council and West Surrey Council by testing implementation plans and reviewing progress against a set of 22 delivery indicators. These indicators were described in the “Sector Support Note” that was shared with MPs on 16 July 2026 and published on gov.uk. They have been developed with local government colleagues and build on lessons learnt from previous reorganisations. The Forum will meet on a quarterly basis, bringing together representatives of Surrey’s Implementation Team with officials from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Department for Education, Department of Health and Social Care and other Government departments as required.
Equivalent arrangements are being put in place across all areas undergoing local government reorganisation.
