Inquiry Opened	Select Committee	Status
8 Jan 2026	Youth employment, education and training View sample Work and Pensions Committee (Select)	Submit Evidence 12 Feb 2026
Nearly one million young people aged 16–24 are not in employment, education or training (NEET). This is a worrying statistic given the harm that being NEET can do to young people’s prospects and wellbeing. To tackle this problem, the Government has recently transferred the skills remit to DWP and announced measures such as the Youth Guarantee and apprenticeship reforms. The Work and Pensions Committee’s inquiry, which seeks to complement the independent Milburn Review into Young People and Work, will explore the causes of economic inactivity and how to help young people into work, education or training, and scrutinise the Government’s plans.

12 Dec 2025	Delivering the Neighbourhood Health Service: Estates View sample Health and Social Care Committee (Select)	Submit Evidence 13 Feb 2026
The Committee is holding an inquiry into what is needed from the NHS estate to deliver the Government’s vision of a ‘Neighbourhood Health Service’ — shifting care from hospitals to integrated, preventative services in local communities. Currently, 11% of the NHS estate is older than the NHS itself and many providers report that ageing premises are unsuitable to deliver community health services. The Committee’s inquiry will examine the physical infrastructure requirements to realise this shift, which includes the establishment of ‘Neighbourhood Health Centres’ in every community. It will explore whether current estate plans, funding and leasing systems, and delivery models are suitable, as well as the risks and opportunities of Public-Private Partnerships. This includes lessons from past models such as PFI. The inquiry will assess how existing NHS buildings can be repurposed, the role of new builds, and the use of non-NHS spaces to deliver the community-based care. It will consider the needs of all communities, including those in rural or underserved areas. The Committee invites written evidence from Friday 12 December until 11.59pm on Friday 13 February.
3 Feb 2026	Pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill View sample Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee (Select)	Submit Evidence 25 Feb 2026
On 27 January 2026, the Government published a draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill for pre-legislative scrutiny. The Government has asked the HCLG Committee to investigate whether the proposed reforms in the draft Bill will be effective, and what changes the Government could make to improve the draft Bill before the final version is introduced to Parliament. You can find out more about draft Bills and the pre-legislative scrutiny process on the UK Parliament website. The Committee will hold a series of oral evidence sessions starting in March 2026. Later in the spring, the Committee will publish its findings in a report with conclusions and recommendations to the Government. As part this short inquiry, the Committee is encouraging leaseholders and other home owners who pay private estate charges to fill out our online survey. Responses will form part of the report to the Government and extracts from individual responses may be included in it anonymously.

This inquiry will examine the development of, and proposed regulatory response to, stablecoins in the UK. In particular, the inquiry will examine the extent to which stablecoins might disrupt the traditional models of provision of financial services, including for banking and payments services. The inquiry will also assess the potential opportunities and risks that the growth of stablecoins might have on UK’s financial services sector, and whether the Bank of England and FCA’s proposed regulatory frameworks provide measured and proportionate responses to these risks.

4 Feb 2026	Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales View sample Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)	Submit Evidence 27 Mar 2026
Cross-border healthcare affects individuals living in both England and across Wales, who travel between the nations for GPs, specialist care, hospitals, and more. Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales offer unique challenges, some of which the Welsh Affairs Committee heard during a one-off evidence session conducted in January 2025. This inquiry is building on the Committee’s previous evidence session on cross-border healthcare to explore in greater depth the issues affecting patients. It will look at the progress that has been made with cross-border healthcare arrangements as well as identify areas of improvement. It will also seek to address the impact of recent policy healthcare announcements on cross-border healthcare arrangements. Read the call for evidence to find out more about the inquiry.
