Public Order: Training
Asked by: Bobby Dean (Liberal Democrat - Carshalton and Wallington) Monday 2nd March 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether additional guidance or support is being provided to police forces to strengthen national public order preparedness. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) Following the disorder in the summer of 2024, the then Home Secretary commissioned His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services to undertake an inspection into the police response. The outcome of their inspection was published in May 2025 and said that the National Police Coordination Centre and the National Police Chiefs’ Council should have a clear, live, resourcing and mobilisation picture so that the policing response to public disorder is timely, coordinated, and proportionate. The summer of 2025 also featured significant nationwide protest activity focused on a variety of issues, including the Israel Palestine conflict but also anti-migrant and counter anti-migrant protests. During this disorder, policing stood up a national coordination model, with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and National Police Coordination Centre fulfilling a national command and mobilisation function, despite the absence of a formal statutory role. This is the role that the Home Office intends to build on by establishing a Senior National Coordinator role for public order policing and by enhancing the National Police Coordination Centre. The Government’s White Paper From Local to National: a new model for policing sets out our plans to ensure policing is more effective in responding to instances of widespread disorder and better coordinated across forces. The use of police resources and the provision of training within police forces is a matter for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, who are operationally independent of government. The College of Policing is responsible for providing guidance and operational advice for frontline policing. The College of Policing produces the Public Order Public Safety authorised Professional Practice. Alongside this, the Protest Operational Advice Document is published jointly by the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs’ Council. |

Asked by: Bobby Dean (Liberal Democrat - Carshalton and Wallington) Monday 2nd March 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that police forces are adequately prepared to respond to major public order incidents. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) Following the disorder in the summer of 2024, the then Home Secretary commissioned His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services to undertake an inspection into the police response.

Integrated Care Boards: Staff
Asked by: Bobby Dean (Liberal Democrat - Carshalton and Wallington) Monday 2nd March 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 potential impact of reducing the workforce of integrated care boards by 50 per cent on the level of patient care and NHS system performance. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) NHS England has asked integrated care boards (ICBs) to act primarily as strategic commissioners of health and care services and reduce duplication of responsibilities within their structure with the expectation of achieving a reduction in their running cost allowance. As such, NHS England has asked ICBs to reduce their running cost allowance to a cap of £19 per head of weighted population and enable savings to be reinvested in frontline services. ICBs have been supported in developing local plans for their future structures and remain accountable for delivering their statutory functions. As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, ICBs’ role as strategic commissioners will be to improve their population’s health, reduce health inequalities, and improve access to consistently high-quality services. |

Department of Health and Social Care: Conditions of Employment
Asked by: Bobby Dean (Liberal Democrat - Carshalton and Wallington) Tuesday 3rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether staff transferring from NHS England to his Department will have their existing terms and conditions, including pay protections, preserved; and whether the transfer will be conducted in line with TUPE principles. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We can confirm that we will follow Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment (TUPE) like principles, whether TUPE or another statutory transfer mechanism, in line with the Cabinet Office Statement of Practice. This means that recognised trade unions will be formally consulted and engaged on measures related to the transfer with no changes to contractual terms and conditions made without proper consultation and engagement. |

Backbench Business Committee and Petitions Committee Debates Modernisation Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The cross-party Modernisation Committee is holding an inquiry into Backbench Business Committee and Petitions Committee debates, as part of its ongoing work on how time is used in the Commons. Backbench Business Committee debates offer MPs a vital route to raise issues on behalf of their constituents, and since its establishment the Committee has ensured that backbench voices are heard regularly. The Petitions Committee has facilitated many debates on e-petitions started by members of the public, ensuring that issues with significant public support are brought before the House. Many of these debates have helped raise the profile of important issues and, in some cases, led to tangible action being taken. The Modernisation Committee’s inquiry will look at whether the current allocation of time for Petitions and Backbench Business debates is appropriate and effective. It will also explore other issues such as whether some e-petitions debates should take place in the Chamber on a more regular basis. MPs on the Committee will also explore the issues highlighted in the Backbench Business Committee’s 15 anniversary report, and how the House can continue to support and strengthen the Committee’s work. Terms of Reference The Backbench Business Committee has 35 days allotted in each session for proceedings in the Chamber/Westminster Hall on backbench business, of which at least 27 should be in the Chamber. More information can be found on their website. The Petitions Committee can schedule a petition or petitions for debate in Westminster Hall on a Monday from 4.30pm, for up to three hours. More information is available here. We will be exploring the following questions as part of our inquiry: 1. Is the current allocation of time for Petitions and Backbench Business debates appropriate and effective?
3. Is the current allocation of Backbench Business debates between the Chamber (27 days) and Westminster Hall (8 days) correct? 4. Are there any improvements that could be made to the Backbench Business Committee’s process to agree applications for backbench business debates (including ensuring debates are popular amongst members and on topical subjects)? 5. Are the existing mechanisms available for the Petitions Committee to hold debates in the Chamber (to apply via Backbench Business Committee, or to be allocated time by the Government) sufficient or should the Petitions Committee have guaranteed time in the Chamber? |
