I refer my hon. Friend the Member for Putney to the answer of 24 October 2025 to Question 83684.
Defra is committed to upholding high standards across the food system, including in relation to animal welfare.
I was extremely concerned to see allegations and footage of animal welfare and environmental abuse at Cranswick farms. The film taken and shared by animal justice groups showed animal welfare treatment that was clearly unacceptable.
As such, I met with Tim Smith, chairman of Cranswick plc, to discuss these matters. I was reassured that Cranswick has taken swift and comprehensive remedial action in response to these incidents, including implementation of recommendations in an independent review into animal welfare and husbandry practices led by a senior veterinarian.
The Food Strategy Advisory Board is a small group of senior leaders who represent a wealth of experience and important elements within the food system and reflect the diversity of the sector. Members do not represent their business interests. Membership is kept under review.
As part of the review of the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) the government will consider how any proposed scheme for Heathrow Expansion will meet the four clear tests on economic growth, climate, air quality, and noise and whether any metrics are needed to measure if these tests are being met.
To do this, during the review of the ANPS the Government will analyse the economic and environmental impacts of expansion at Heathrow, which will inform whether amendments are needed to the ANPS to meet the four tests. We expect any draft amendments to the ANPS will be ready for consultation by summer 2026.
It will be for promoters to apply for a development consent order. Applications for development consent will be examined by the Planning Inspectorate, and the Secretary of State for Transport will make a decision in line with the ANPS on whether to grant a development consent order.
The cost of any rail and road infrastructure associated with Heathrow Expansion will be developed and funded by the promoters of the scheme.
The current Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) and its supporting documents provide an economic assessment of a new northwest runway at Heathrow.
On 22 October, the Secretary of State for Transport launched a review of the ANPS. As part of the review, the Department for Transport will develop updated analysis on the economic impacts of expansion at Heathrow, and the outputs will be published alongside any amends to the ANPS for consultation by summer 2026. Any promoter will then need to prepare and submit a development consent order, including their own analysis, for expansion for consideration by the Planning Inspectorate and the Secretary of State for Transport.
As part of the review of the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) the Government will develop updated assessments of the noise and air quality impacts of expansion at Heathrow and will review and update the existing appraisal of sustainability and health impact analysis in line with any amendments made to the ANPS.
We expect to publish any revisions to the ANPS for consultation by summer 2026, together with supporting assessments.

The government has been clear that any airport expansion proposals need to demonstrate that they can be delivered in line with the UK’s legally binding climate change commitments.
On 22 October, the Government formally commenced the review of the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS), which provides the primary basis for decision-making on whether to grant development consent for a new runway at Heathrow. The review will reflect changes in legislation, policy, and data and will set out how any scheme must meet the Government’s four tests on economic growth, climate, air quality and noise.
The Government also remains committed to engaging the Climate Change Committee on the ANPS review and will be seeking their independent advice on the relevant sections of the revised ANPS in due course.
We expect to publish any revisions to the ANPS for consultation by summer 2026.
The Government intends to convene a further meeting of the Hammersmith Bridge Taskforce in the near future.
We intend to convene a further meeting of the Taskforce in the near future to discuss next steps. DfT officials will be in touch to arrange the specifics of this in due course.
The Department remains committed to improving access to cancer diagnostic services and treatment, including for harder to diagnose tumour types such as pancreatic cancer.
The Government’s continued investment in community diagnostic centres (CDCs) enables the National Health Service to now deliver additional checks, tests, and scans at 170 CDCs, all of which deliver services 12 hours a day, seven days a week. This will enable the NHS to diagnose cancer faster and ensure that cancer patients, including those with pancreatic cancer, have timely access to primary care services.
The Department does not hold information relating to the availability of Sleepio at integrated care board (ICB) level or information on the plans to increase access to Sleepio in the NHS South West London ICB. The decision to commission Sleepio and other digital health technologies is currently determined at local level, by National Health Service organisations.
The Department is committed to exploring options to make digital tools, supporting people living with insomnia, nationally available. As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, the Department has committed to piloting a HealthStore app marketplace. The store will explore options to support the availability of digital health technologies across multiple condition areas.
NHS England are currently running an open process to secure equitable national access to digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapies for Insomnia and has recently published a Request For Information and questionnaire. This creates an opportunity for all suppliers in this market to engage in a fair and transparent commercial process.
