Universities: Advertising
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Wednesday 9th July 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many UK universities that are registered with the Office for Students publish the (a) quantity and (b) type of contact hours for courses advertised to prospective students. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The Office for Students (OfS) does not routinely collect or publish data on the number of registered higher education providers that disclose the quantity and type of contact hours for courses advertised to prospective students. However, all registered providers are expected to comply with consumer protection law, including providing clear and accurate information to students about their courses. The Competition and Markets Authority has issued guidance to support providers in meeting these obligations, which includes transparency around contact hours and modes of delivery. The OfS expects providers to have due regard to this guidance as part of their registration conditions. Where students believe that information provided has been misleading or insufficient, they are encouraged to raise concerns through their provider’s complaints process and can escalate complaints to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education if necessary. Additionally, any students, staff or members of the public who feel a university is not meeting the OfS’ registration requirements may submit a notification to the OfS. |

Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Tuesday 8th July 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking through the criminal justice system to help tackle violence against women and children. Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) The scale of violence against women and girls in our country is intolerable and this Government is treating it as the national emergency that it is. The Government was elected with a landmark mission to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade. We are aiming to publish our new, cross-government strategy later this year.
We will use a wide variety of tools to target perpetrators and tackle the root causes of abuse and violence. The Ministry of Justice has already taken action by:

17 Jul 2025
Food and Weight Management Health and Social Care Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 28 Aug 2025) The Committee is holding an inquiry into food and weight management, including treatments for obesity.
In 2022, 64% of adults in England were either overweight or living with obesity. In its 10-year health plan, the Government pledged to “launch a moonshot to end the obesity epidemic”.
The Committee’s inquiry will investigate what public health interventions have been the most effective at reducing obesity and the consumption of less healthy foods, examining why existing policies relating to food and diet have seemingly not succeeded in reducing rates of obesity.
The inquiry will also consider treatments offered to those who are living with obesity or excess weight, including the challenges and opportunities weight loss medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro present to the NHS and to individuals. It will consider how injections compare to other treatments and programmes, including cost-effectiveness.
The Committee invites written evidence from Thursday 17 July until 11.59pm on Thursday 28 August. The Committee is also keen to hear directly from individuals with lived experience of living with obesity and excess weight, encouraging anybody with experiences of managing their weight and/or accessing treatments to share their perspectives in its online survey. |
