I refer the hon. Member to the response given on 26 June 2026 to the hon. Member for Clapham and Brixton Hill for PQ UIN 11733.

We are aware of the Scottish Gluten-free Food Service, under which eligible patients can obtain gluten-free foods through community pharmacy and adults are offered an annual pharmacist health check. While health services are devolved and arrangements in Scotland are a matter for the Scottish Government, we continue to consider evidence and experiences from across the United Kingdom as part of wider policy development.

Community pharmacy in England is already playing an increasing clinical role, but any proposal for a new national pharmacy-led service would require careful assessment of clinical benefit, workforce implications, affordability, and interaction with existing care pathways. The Department will continue to keep relevant evidence and service models under review.

The UK remains one of Ukraine's leading humanitarian donors, having committed up to £577 million in humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and the wider region since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. Through trusted humanitarian partners, UK support helps protect vulnerable people affected by the conflict, promote respect for International Humanitarian Law, and provide lifesaving assistance to those most affected by Russia's continued attacks.

The Charity Commission for England and Wales also published guidance for charities and trustees responding to the crisis in Ukraine in March 2022.

All fees set by veterinary surgeons or veterinary practices are a private matter between individual practices and their clients. Neither the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the UK regulator of the veterinary profession, nor Defra intervene in the level of fees that are charged.

National Health Service organisations make decisions locally on the provision of toilets within their facilities, including provisions in toilets for people with stomas.

National guidance is provided to the NHS on designing sanitary spaces in healthcare settings, including toilets for patients, visitors, and staff. Health Building Note (HBN) 00-02: Sanitary Spaces details layouts for independent wheelchair/semi ambulant toilets which incorporate a shelf adjacent to the toilet for the emptying of urine bottles/colostomy bags.

Over this Spending Review period, we are backing local NHS organisations with £21 billion in operation capital funding, which they can allocate to their priorities, such as ensuring the provision of appropriate public toilets.

The government has no current plans to require prospective buyers of park homes to be provided with independent legal advice.

Buyers of park homes can contact the government funded Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE), for free independent advice about the sales process and finding a solicitor. A factsheet on buying park homes is also available on gov.uk here.

The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) believes that all parents have an obligation to support their children regardless of their financial situation. Concurrently, the CMS believes it is important that child maintenance liabilities remain affordable and reflect a paying parent's ability to pay.

The CMS calculates maintenance using the paying parent's gross weekly income up to £3,000, ensuring contributions are fair and lower earners are protected through a £7 flat rate payment for most paying parents on lower incomes and for many of those in receipt of prescribed benefits, while a nil rate may apply in limited circumstances; the main categories of nil assessed parents are:

• Where a parent declares nil income in respect of their gross income and this is confirmed by HMRC;
• Where the parent is a prisoner;
• Where the parent is on the flat rate of maintenance but is providing some shared care.

In the case of prisoners and some other parents who declare nil income, if they have significant assets or earnings from sources that are not part of the main child maintenance calculation, these can be considered via a variation.

Recently, the Department reviewed the child maintenance calculation to ensure it strikes the right balance between both parents and supports compliance, helping to secure more maintenance for children. Following the review, we plan to reduce the income tolerance from 25% to 15%, meaning changes in a paying parent's income will be reflected more quickly and maintenance assessments will remain fairer for both parents.

We think the current system strikes the right balance between requiring parents to support their children where they can, while taking account of circumstances that make this very difficult or unfair. For these reasons, we do not believe it would be in the interests of children or taxpayers to consider the introduction of a minimum child maintenance payment for all paying parents, as maintenance liabilities should continue to reflect a paying parent’s financial circumstances and ability to pay.

The Acquisitive Crime Pilot has been running since April 2021. Currently, 19 Police Force Areas are participating. It mandates the use of GPS electronic monitoring of individuals convicted of acquisitive crime offences.

An impact evaluation has shown that reoffending rates dropped seven percentage points, from 33.2% to 26.2% (a 20 percent reduction) for those on the pilot.

We will be making the service available to the remainder of the 43 forces, including Dorset, commencing roll out from mid 2027. We will be engaging with police forces to finalise roll-out plans.

The Department of Health and Social Care has indicated that it will not be possible to answer this question within the usual time period. An answer is being prepared and will be provided as soon as it is available.

The Government's national transport strategy, Better Connected, published on 2 April 2026, committed to updating the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions. The proposed changes include the introduction of side road zebra crossings in England, supporting safer, more accessible and convenient crossing facilities for people walking and wheeling.

In developing these changes the Department will be considering all relevant evidence.

The Department has no current plans to conduct a specific review of the arrangements whereby HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) evidence is used to establish Child Maintenance Service (CMS) payments.

The CMS relies on verified HMRC income information to support accurate and efficient maintenance calculations and reviews cases annually using updated HMRC data. The system is supported by safeguards including mandatory reconsideration and appeal rights, and investigations by the Financial Investigation Unit where appropriate.

We continue to keep the whole child maintenance system under review to ensure it remains fair and effective.

ID and traceability regulations require keepers to report cattle deaths to the relevant government system and sheep and goat deaths in on-farm holding registers. At present there are no plans to publish farmed animal mortality data. Defra will, however, continue to review processes to enhance livestock traceability for all species in England.

The Home Office has not carried out such an assessment. However, the fee for a Certificate of Entitlement (CoE) was recently exempted from wider fee increases made through Fee Regulations laid in March 2026, reflecting the transition of CoE from a physical to a digital product. The fee will be kept under review as new operational data becomes available.

More broadly, we believe that it is fairer to generally charge a consistent fee to all applicants, rather than to differentiate fees based on the characteristics of the individual making the application. Whilst there are external factors that may affect the affordability of fees for individuals in different circumstances, we do not consider that it is proportionate to introduce concessions to address the potential for minor impacts.

On 8 July Motability announced an exceptions process for those who exceed the new mileage limit for journeys made for healthcare, education and employment. The customer will need to evidence this extra mileage. This exception process is in line with Finance Conduct Authority (FCA) expectations, and any customer can request an exception at any point of the lease lifecycle. More information and how to apply can be found on the Motability website.

The Motability Scheme is operated independently of Government. Decisions about eligibility, lease terms, mileage allowances and support arrangements are matters for Motability. The Government's role is to provide qualifying disability benefits that customers may choose to use to access the Scheme.

The National Health Service car parking guidance already requires free parking to be provided for four groups: disabled people; frequent outpatient attenders; parents of sick children staying overnight; and staff working night shifts. Beyond this, NHS organisations decide how they provide parking locally, including whether staff are charged for, based on the local needs of patients, visitors, and staff, as well as environmental factors.

More widely, all NHS trusts are expected to follow the published NHS Car Parking Guidance. This states that car parking charges, where they exist, should be reasonable for the area, with further information available at the following link:

The Department has not made a specific assessment with Cabinet colleagues of the merits of requiring manufacturers of ground maintenance equipment to place stickers or markings on such products advising users to check for hedgehogs before use.

This government is committed to breaking down barriers to opportunity and tackling child poverty. We are extending free school meals (FSM) to all children from households in receipt of Universal Credit from the start of the 2026/27 academic year. We have published additional operational guidance on the expansion for local authorities, local authority maintained schools, academies and free schools

A pupil is eligible to receive FSM when a claim has been made on their behalf and their eligibility has been verified by either their school or the local authority. To support this process, our improvements to the Eligibility Checking System make it easier for local authorities, schools and parents to check if children are eligible for free meals. This is available now for local authorities to use.

This Government remains committed to ending the use in England of the three neonicotinoid pesticides (thiamethoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid) that threaten vital pollinators, including through emergency authorisations.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have published updated guidance for emergency authorisations of pesticides. This update clarifies and strengthens the existing guidance to ensure that future emergency authorisations take full account of the risks that pesticides may pose.

Negotiations are also underway on a Sanitary and Phytosanitary agreement with the EU. Any further action, such as potential legislative options, can be considered once the new pesticides regulatory framework for Great Britain is agreed.
