Chemicals: Pollution Control
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Wednesday 17th June 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if her Department plans to update the UK’s water quality monitoring frameworks to ensure that persistent pollutants, including PFAS chemicals and microplastics, are monitored across all waterbodies and wastewater. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Government is committed to ensuring the UK’s water quality monitoring frameworks are fit for purpose; improving environmental protection by setting clear and enforceable standards for water quality and ecological health.
Through the Clean Water Bill, we intend to progress an ambitious, coherent reset of the legislative framework – including exploring updates to elements of the Water Framework Directive Regulations and Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations. The Government’s PFAS Plan, published on 3 February 2026, also committed to continue to develop toxicological thresholds for PFAS that may impact on the quality of our water environment to support regulatory actions. As part of this work, we will consider whether stronger monitoring standards should be established for persistent pollutants. |

Abortion
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 11th June 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the procurement specification for the Abortion Notification Service was reviewed between First Reading of the relevant legislative clause and the contract signature on 10 March 2026. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Crime and Policing Act 2026 disapplies the criminal offences related to abortion from women acting in relation to their own pregnancies. However, it does not change the Abortion Act 1967 or the provision of lawful abortion services. Therefore, there was not a need to review the procurement specification for the Abortion Notification Service. |

Abortion
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 11th June 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether privacy notices issued to women undergoing abortion care have been updated to reflect the introduction of new analytical infrastructure and changes to the legal context following the Crime and Policing Act 2026. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) All privacy notices will be reviewed and updated, if required, to reflect any changes to the technical infrastructure that supports the collection and processing of abortion data. In line with the Department’s required standard operating procedures (RSOPs) for the approval of independent sector abortion clinics, abortion providers should make women aware of how the contents of the statutory HSA4 form sent to the Chief Medical Officer will be used and shared by the Department. The RSOPs include a suggested privacy notice to share with anyone undergoing abortion care which provides a clear understanding of what data is shared with the Department, the legal basis for collecting their data, and how the Department will manage their data. The Crime and Policing Act 2026 disapplies the criminal offences related to abortion from women acting in relation to their own pregnancies. However, it does not change the Abortion Act 1967, statutory reporting of abortions to the Chief Medical Officer, or the provision of lawful abortion services. |

Abortion
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 11th June 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the risks associated with making identifiable abortion notification data available within a data-lake environment. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The solution is being designed following UK Government guidance for building and managing digital services, including but not limited to Government Digital Service standards, the National Cyber Security Centre Cyber Assessment Framework, and Departmental data protection policies. By following this approach, the Department is identifying, recording, escalating, and/or mitigating risks to ensure identifiable data is being stored, accessed, and managed in-line with standards outlined above. |

Higher Education: Regulation
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Friday 12th June 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether mechanisms are in place to provide compensation to higher education providers in cases where regulatory penalties imposed by the Office for Students are overturned by the courts. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The Office for Students (OfS) is the independent regulator for higher education in England and operates within the legal framework set out in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017. Where the OfS takes regulatory action against a registered higher education (HE) provider, the provider has the right to make representations and to challenge that decision, including through the courts. Where a court finds that a regulatory decision has been made unlawfully, the decision, including any associated monetary penalty, may be overturned. There is no automatic mechanism operated by the department or the OfS to provide compensation to HE providers in such circumstances. As with other public law decisions, any matters relating to costs or damages would be determined by the courts. |

Higher Education: Redundancy
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Friday 12th June 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the number of staff redundancies (a) announced and (b) implemented by higher education providers in England since 1 January 2025. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The Office for Students, the independent regulator of higher education (HE) in England, is responsible for monitoring the sector’s financial sustainability. Its most recent report on the sector’s financial health, published in May 2026, can be found here: https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/financial-sustainability-of-higher-education-providers-in-england-2026/. The department greatly values the hard work of staff across the HE sector who continue to deliver for students and universities during a challenging period. We are aware that some providers are making difficult decisions around staffing to safeguard their financial sustainability. Given universities are independent, the government does not have a role in intervening with specific providers in pay and staffing matters, nor does it collect specific data on redundancies within HE. However, we encourage providers to work constructively with their staff to develop sustainable models that retain talent and expertise and provide stability for the workforce and the institution. |

Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The Office for Students, the independent regulator of higher education (HE) in England, is responsible for monitoring the sector’s financial sustainability. Its most recent report on the sector’s financial health, published in May 2026, can be found here: https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/financial-sustainability-of-higher-education-providers-in-england-2026/.

Poultry: Animal Welfare
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 18th June 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether further supported welfare improvements for laying hens will be incorporated into the UK Animal Health and Welfare Pathway. Answered by Stephen Morgan - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Under the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway, eligible poultry keepers have had access to capital grants to improve welfare in laying hens. The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund, which closed its final round on 12 May, offered grants up to £25,000 for equipment and technology for higher welfare production. Earlier this year, Defra announced funding to deliver on-farm Poultry Biosecurity Reviews, expected to launch summer 2026, to build resilience against Avian Influenza and other threats. Defra continues to work with industry on how the Pathway can support high standards of animal welfare including simplifying and rationalising any grant funding from 2027 onwards. |

Chemicals: Pollution Control
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 18th June 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions her Department has had with a) international environmental governance bodies, including the United Nations Environment Programme, and b) other countries on regulating persistent pollutants, including PFAS chemicals and microplastics. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Defra is committed to our obligations under international environmental agreements and, as a global scientific leader on chemicals management, will use science diplomacy and expertise to influence global environment policy.
The UK is actively working with international partners and through multilateral fora to strengthen global action, including through the Stockholm Convention, the Global Framework on Chemicals, and the OECD. We support efforts to improve global monitoring and data, promote safer alternatives, and strengthen the scientific basis for decision-making, including through the new Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution.
We recognise PFAS and other persistent pollutants as a global and transboundary issue. The UK’s first-ever PFAS Plan sets out how we will work to understand the sources of these chemicals; tackle how they move around in the environment; and act to reduce public and environmental exposure.
The plan reflects Defra’s commitment to protect public health and the environment while supporting innovation and economic growth. It is a long-term framework for engagement on this important issue. |
