Written Answers
PE and Sport Premium Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Wednesday 14th May 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to extend PE and Sport Premium Funding beyond 2024-25. Answered by Catherine McKinnell - Minister of State (Education) I refer the hon. Member for South Devon to the answer of 23 April 2025 to Question 36699.
Water Charges: Pensioners Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Wednesday 21st May 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to help reduce the impact of increased water bills on pensioners. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) For too long, investment has not kept pace with the challenges of an ageing infrastructure system, a rapidly growing population and climate change. Whilst it is never wanted, bills will therefore now need to rise to invest in our crumbling infrastructure and deliver cleaner waterways. This will deliver substantial, lasting, improvements for customers and the environment through a £104 billion upgrade for the water sector. This Government expects water companies to put robust support in place for customers that are struggling to pay their bills – including for pensioners. These include bill discount schemes such as WaterSure and Social Tariffs as well as financial support measures to assist households to better manage their budgets and provide flexible payments including payment holidays, payment matching, benefit entitlement checks and money/debt advice referral arrangements. This Government expects industry to keep the current support schemes under review to ensure that vulnerable customers across the country are supported, including having regard to the interests of individuals of pensionable age. Bills must remain affordable, and customers cannot be expected to pay the price for years of underperformance in the past.
Fisheries: Quotas Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Wednesday 21st May 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which companies were granted additional quota through the quota application mechanism in 2025; and what (a) environmental, (b) social and (c) economic outcomes are expected from each. Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) In 2025, a total of 8,658.8 tonnes of additional quota was awarded to fish producer organisations as part of the quota application mechanism trial (QAM). Applications were based on an environmental, social, and economic scoring criteria. Eastern England Fish Producers Organisation was awarded 3144.3 tonnes, and Humberside Fish Producers’ Organisation was awarded 5225 tonnes. The remaining tonnage was allocated to non-sectoral fishers, across 16 non-sectoral vessels. Some of the environmental, social and economic benefits being rewarded include: investments in improved fishing gear, reducing environmental impacts while enhancing selectivity to minimise unwanted catches; acoustic deterrents to help protect vulnerable marine wildlife by preventing accidental entanglement in fishing gear; employment of local crew, strengthening coastal communities by providing sustainable livelihoods and preserving traditional fishing heritage; and vessel upgrades focused on crew safety and welfare to ensure that fishing remains a viable career with improved working conditions. Across all the successful applicants, 217 commitments were made. Defra will publish an update on the Quota Application Mechanism trial later this year.
Dyslexia: Further Education Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Thursday 22nd May 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to support adults with dyslexia to access further education. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) All education and training providers, including further education colleges and other related service providers, have a duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, including those with dyslexia, so they are not placed at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled students. This duty is set out under section 20 of the Equality Act 2010. There is a range of support on offer for dyslexic students. Students should discuss their needs with the college or education provider before the course begins. The college must explain what support they will provide to meet the person’s individual learning needs, and this support will be reviewed on a regular basis. Support can include assistive technology, coloured overlays or question papers printed on coloured paper note-takers, specialist tuition or additional time in exams. Disability Rights UK have information available which describes how reasonable adjustments can be provided for students with disabilities.
