Fuel Oil: Housing
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 26th March 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help ensure that an accurate record exists of which homes are reliant on Home Heating Oil for heating. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Information on the heating fuels used by households is published by the Office for National Statistics and the Devolved Administrations. For more information, please see here - Constituency data: Households off the gas grid - House of Commons Library
The Government has made £53 million of additional support available to help low-come households who use heating oil. In England this has been allocated to Local Authorities via the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF). Households should apply to their local authority and provide any evidence that is requested. |

Prisoner Escorts
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 30th March 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the number of court cases delayed in 2025 as a result of the failure of custody transport services to deliver the defendant at the correct time. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Data on the number of trials declared ineffective due to the non-production of defendants can be found here: Criminal court statistics - GOV.UK (trial effectiveness at the criminal courts tool). In 2025, the non-production of defendants by the Prisoner Escort Custody Service (PECS) accounted for 176 (2%) of ineffective trials in the Crown Court and 885 (4%) of ineffective trials in the magistrates’ courts. Sir Brian Leveson made a number of recommendations to address the late arrivals of prisoners to court in his Independent Review of the Criminal Courts. We recognise the problems we inherited in prisoner transfer with delays occurring at prisons, en route between prison and court, and at courts themselves in bringing prisoners to the dock. We are gripping this – along with the Minister for Prisons, I am establishing an oversight body to review prisoner transfer from end to end. This will monitor and drive performance improvements in prisoner transfer across the country. We are also working with the Department for Transport and local authorities to expand the number of areas where PECS vans can use bus lanes to reduce traffic delays, and in London we are working with Transport for London to retime the traffic signals to prioritise PECS vans so they are more likely to receive a green light. |

Schools: Repairs and Maintenance
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 30th March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what is her estimate of the number of days of education lost during 2025 as a result of water leaks in school buildings. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Schools and their responsible bodies are not obliged to report school closures to the department and therefore the department does not hold the information requested. Many responsible bodies manage school closures locally and without central government support. Where the department is notified of a significant event or issue with a school or college building that cannot be managed with local resources, we consider additional support on a case-by-case basis. We work closely with these responsible bodies and schools to minimise the impact of any closures and ensure continuity of education for pupils. Effective and proactive estate management is key to maintaining a high-quality estate and preventing issues materialising that can disrupt education, like leaks. We already set out clear expectations in our School Estate Management Standards and, in February, launched a new digital service to bring together estates-related guidance, data, tools, programmes and funding in one place. From this autumn, we will ask responsible bodies to make an annual return to confirm they are meeting those standards. For those that are not, we will put in place an estate management capability support plan in agreement with the responsible body. |

Sewage: Rivers
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 30th March 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to eliminate sewage overflow releases into (a) the River Loddon and (b) other protected chalk streams. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Through the Water Industry National Environment Programme, the Environment Agency (EA) is driving improvements at sewage treatment works including in the Loddon catchment. These include upgrades to deliver against the Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan and other investigations and improvement schemes which Thames Water are required to complete.
The EA has inspected all Thames Water sewage treatment works within the River Loddon catchment. Any permit breaches it identifies are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and any confirmed serious breaches are investigated and enforced against in line with the EA’s enforcement and sanctions policy.
Across England, over £10 billion is being invested to improve about 2,500 storm overflows by 2030, with upgrades prioritised at high priority sites including chalk streams. |

Vitamin D: Deficiency Diseases
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 30th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 February 2026 to Question 110574 on Vitamin D: Deficiency Diseases, what his planned timeline is for the rapid review by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition of vitamin D requirements for people with higher melanin concentration; and whether he plans to issue interim guidance to at-risk populations. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) is currently conducting a rapid review of whether current vitamin D recommendations for vitamin D intake and status are adequate for people with higher melanin concentrations. The vitamin D working group is reviewing relevant evidence and discussions are ongoing. In line with the usual SACN process, minutes of the SACN vitamin D working group meetings, along with minutes of all SACN meetings, are published on the SACN’s website. The SACN aims to publish conclusions of the review later in 2026. Ministers are informed of SACN publications and risk assessments and receive separate advice on potential subsequent policy options. For people at risk of not receiving enough vitamin D during the summer months we recommend they consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D throughout the year. Advice is available on the National Health Service website for everyone, including pregnant and breastfeeding women, to consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during the autumn and winter. Our focus is on ensuring that vitamin D policy prioritises interventions with the greatest public health impact. We have therefore not assessed the merits of workplace-based vitamin supplementation programmes and are not currently planning any additional action to introduce targeted vitamin D supplementation programmes. Any further risk management approaches will be considered once SACN has completed reviewing the evidence and made recommendations for people with higher melanin concentrations. The National Diet and Nutrition Survey is designed to provide data on the diet and nutrition of the general United Kingdom population. The survey design means that oversampling of ethnic minority groups is challenging. However, a recent increase in the number of blood samples collected annually in the survey means we expect to be able to analyse and report vitamin D status by ethnicity by combining data collected from 2024 to 2029. |

Vitamin D: Dietary Supplements
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 30th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 February 2026 to Question 110577 on Vitamin D: Dietary Supplements, whether he plans to introduce targeted oversampling of Black and Asian populations to allow accelerated analysis by ethnicity of groups at higher risk of Vitamin D deficiency. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) is currently conducting a rapid review of whether current vitamin D recommendations for vitamin D intake and status are adequate for people with higher melanin concentrations.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) is currently conducting a rapid review of whether current vitamin D recommendations for vitamin D intake and status are adequate for people with higher melanin concentrations.

Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 30th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has assessment the potential merits of workplace-based vitamin D supplementation programmes as a mechanism to reach populations at higher risk of deficiency.

Landlords: Fines
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 31st March 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he is taking steps to increase the rate of collection of civil penalties issued by local authorities against landlords for housing offences. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The government engages regularly with local authorities and other relevant stakeholders in relation to how enforcement against rogue landlords in the private rented sector might be strengthened. Local authorities already have a range of tools that they can use to support the collection of unpaid fines imposed on rogue landlords, including charging orders and bankruptcy proceedings. My Department will continue to engage with local authorities and consider how best practice can be shared as part of supporting the effective implementation of the Renters’ Rights Act. |

Alcoholic Drinks: Misuse
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 31st March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to help encourage the use of community-based rehabilitation in the treatment of alcohol and substance use and addiction. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is committed to ensuring that anyone with a drug or alcohol problem can access the help and support they need, and we recognise the need for evidence-based, high-quality treatment. Local authorities are responsible for assessing local need for alcohol and drug prevention and treatment in their area and for commissioning services to meet these needs. Through the Public Health Grant, we are providing local authorities with £3.4 billion in ringfenced funding over the next three years for drug and alcohol treatment and recovery. This first multi-year settlement in over a decade gives local authorities the certainty to plan and invest for the medium term. Additionally, the Department provides guidance and support to improve outcomes, for example last year we launched a self-assessment toolkit to help local areas to improve residential drug and alcohol treatment, which is available at the following link: The Department also maintains regular engagement with commissioners and providers and works closely with other Government departments to improve pathways into treatment and foster recovery. |

Solar Power
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 31st March 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what is the total anticipated generation capacity in MWh of solar power projects that are approved but have not yet been connected to the grid. Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) According to the latest version of the Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), as at January 2026 approximately 24GW capacity of ground mounted solar power projects have received planning consent but are not yet connected to the grid. This figure is an approximation as the REPD does not track projects below 150kW. |

Affordable Housing: Empty Property
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 31st March 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many affordable housing units have been built which have never been occupied because no housing association has taken them on. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) My Department does not hold comprehensive, historic data on social and affordable homes that have been completed but remain unoccupied because a registered provider has not contracted with a housebuilder to acquire them.
I otherwise refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement on 28 January 2026 (HCWS1286) and the answer given to Question UIN 112630 on 2 March 2026. |

Offenders: Addictions
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Wednesday 1st April 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make an his estimate of the potential reduction in the (a) cost to the public purse and (b) court workloads of increasing the adoption of community-based rehabilitation in the treatment of alcohol and substance use and addiction reducing recidivism rates. Answered by Jake Richards - Assistant Whip We are committed to diverting vulnerable offenders with substance misuse needs away from prison or out of the criminal justice system altogether where appropriate. Many people who have committed low-level offences can be managed more effectively in the community, with the right treatment and support to tackle the health-related causes of their offending behaviour, than on short custodial sentences. Public Health England analysis shows that drug treatment reflects a return on investment of £4 for every £1 invested. Offenders completing treatment for drugs or alcohol were also 19 percentage points less likely to reoffend than those that dropped out of treatment.
An evaluation of the impact of being sentenced with a community sentence treatment requirement (CSTR) on proven reoffending was published in 2024 and found that for people who reoffended those sentenced to a drug rehabilitation requirement (DRR) and alcohol treatment requirement (ATR) had fewer reoffences compared to those who received a short custodial sentence.
Our Intensive Supervision Courts (ISCs), which divert offenders with complex needs, including substance misuse, away from short custodial sentences into rehabilitative community sentences, are undergoing full evaluation scheduled for completion in 2028. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of ISCs on reducing reoffending and their value for money. Published process evaluation findings show early promising signs, whereby some offenders reported reduced substance use and willingness to avoid reoffending. |

Middle East: Arms Trade
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 2nd April 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of weapons and ordnance manufactured in the UK are currently being used in conflicts in a) Lebanon, b) Iran and c) the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Details of UK export licences can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data. The UK operates one of the most robust export control regimes in the world. We assess all licences in line with the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. All licences are kept under careful and continual review as standard. |
