Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the level of funding required to implement the objectives set out in the National Cancer Plan.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The National Cancer Plan, published in February 2026, aims to achieve its objectives by getting more from the resources already in the system, improving productivity, and modernising services to deliver better outcomes for patients.

The Plan is backed by significant funding committed by the Government at the Spending Review, including but not limited to a £2.3 billion investment in diagnostics to deliver an additional 9.5 million tests by 2029, over £650 million to complete the roll out of lung cancer screening by 2030, £70 million for new radiotherapy machines, and £200 million of ring-fenced funding for cancer alliances in 2026/27, to improve performance and early diagnosis. The plan also includes a £10 million fund to support children and young people with cancer and their families with travel costs.

Further decisions about the funding and provision of health services are the responsibility of integrated care boards (ICBs) who are funded by NHS England. ICBs are responsible for commissioning healthcare which best meets the needs of their local populations, including workforce expansion, equipment replacement, and pathway redesign.

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the real value of Infected Blood compensation payments that have not yet been paid compared to compensation payments that have already been paid.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office

The Government has established a tariff-based compensation scheme, in line with the Inquiry’s recommendations. A tariff-based scheme ensures that applicants have certainty about the total amount of compensation they will receive from the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA), regardless of when their application is processed. Consistently uprating compensation packages annually would not be consistent with this approach.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of publishers' ability to secure preferential rates of duty for goods sold through Import One Stop Shop. .

Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Import One Stop Shop is an EU VAT reporting and collection scheme for goods that are not subject to duty. It deals solely with the collection of VAT.

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Adult Skills Fund cap on the ability of further education colleges to reduce the number of 18 to 24-year-olds not in education, employment or training.

Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

We are committed to investing in education and skills training for adults. We have invested over £1.4 billion in the Adult Skills Fund (ASF) this academic year and will be investing the same amount next academic year.

The move of adult skills to the DWP provides an opportunity to strengthen the bonds between the ASF and progression into the labour market and will help ensure that the skills and employment systems are more fully aligned.

With over one million young people not in education, employment and training, this Government will not leave an entire generation of young people behind. We are investing an additional £2.5 billion over the next three years into the Youth Guarantee and the Growth and Skills Levy.

This investment will support almost one million young people and create up to 500,000 opportunities to earn and learn, including through expanded network of Youth Hubs, earlier intensive support in Jobs Centres through a new Youth Guarantee Gateway, additional work experience and training opportunities, a £3,000 Youth Jobs Grant and £2,000 apprenticeship hiring payment for employers, and a fully funded six month job for long-term unemployed 18–24-year-olds. It also includes investment to support the growth of Sector Based Work Academies which can be partially funded by the Adult Skills Fund.

We also recognise the crisis of participation that Alan Milburn has so clearly laid out in his interim report. We will use this interim report to continue to build our reforms and look forward to final recommendations in the Autumn.
