Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what consideration he has given to the potential merits of notifying Universal Credit claimants of their eligibility for free school meals via online journal entries.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government) (Equalities)

The Department is committed to ensuring that people receiving Universal Credit can access the support to which they may be entitled. Eligibility rules for Free School Meals are the responsibility of the Department for Education in England, with eligibility determined using Universal Credit information where appropriate.

The Department keeps its communications with Universal Credit claimants under regular review, including the information provided through digital channels such as the Universal Credit journal. However, no decision has been taken to introduce routine journal notifications relating to potential Free School Meals entitlement.

The journal is primarily used to communicate information relevant to the administration of a claimant’s Universal Credit award and is not generally used to provide speculative notifications about possible entitlement to support administered by other organisations.

Claimants can access information about additional support that may be available alongside Universal Credit, including Free School Meals, through existing guidance and application routes provided by the relevant authorities.

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what is the role of the new local assurance board in Surrey.

Answered by Jim McMahon - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

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.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment the Department has made of the feasibility of linking family court data with other Government datasets to better understand the long-term outcomes for parents involved in family justice proceedings.

Answered by Jake Richards - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

The Ministry of Justice recognises the value of linking family court data with other government datasets, including mortality datasets, to improve understanding of the longer-term outcomes of children and families involved in family justice proceedings. Through the Data First programme, family court datasets, including data from HMCTS family courts, Cafcass, Cafcass Cymru and Welsh children’s social care have been linked (and personal identifiers then removed). These are made available to accredited researchers through the SAIL Databank.

The Ministry of Justice is working with partners, including the Department for Education, Cafcass and Cafcass Cymru to explore how data linkage can be improved and become more routine and sustainable across the family justice system, whilst ensuring data protection safeguards are in place.
