Autism: Departmental Coordination
Asked by: Hannah Spencer (Green Party - Gorton and Denton) Tuesday 28th April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the development of the next national Autism Strategy is aligned with (a) the Department for Education’s Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) reforms, (b) the Department for Work and Pensions’ Young People and Work Review, and (c) the Department of Health and Social Care’s independent review into the prevalence and diagnosis of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions. Answered by Zubir Ahmed The Autism Act 2009 places a duty on my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to consult on, publish, and keep under review a national strategy for meeting the needs of autistic adults in England. My Rt Hon. Friend may choose to revise the strategy, and if so, must publish it as revised. We are committed to publishing a new cross-Government autism strategy. The current strategy will remain in effect until a revised strategy is published. We are carefully considering our approach to developing a new autism strategy, including our plans to work with other Government departments and engage with stakeholders, including autistic people and their families, and will set out a position in due course. We recognise that a large amount of evidence was gathered by the House of Lords Autism Act 2009 Inquiry Committee and we will consider this evidence, along with evidence from other government and independent reviews, papers, and reports. We recognise that meaningful engagement takes time, so a balance will need to be struck on the extent of the further engagement required. |

Asylum: Artificial Intelligence
Asked by: Hannah Spencer (Green Party - Gorton and Denton) Tuesday 28th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to WPQ UIN 121674, tabled on 17 March 2026 on Asylum: Artificial Intelligence if people will be informed if their asylum case is being assessed with the input of AI under the ACS and APS schemes. Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office) Both ACS and APS underwent user acceptance testing and evaluation was conducted following pilots of both tools. All caseworkers were given comprehensive training on the use of APS before it was operationalised (to note ACS is not yet fully operational). A specific inbox was set up for Decision Makers to feed back any issues found with the tool. All questions asked of the tool, have and will be logged, and are auditable. Subject Matter Expert (SME) testing continues after operationalisation, in conjunction with the CPIT (Country Policy & Information Team), for APS. ACS has not yet been operationalised, but our Analysis and Insight team plan to conduct further follow up evaluations in due course. Existing quality control processes are followed alongside data capture, development and two-way feedback mechanisms. No process and/or tooling details are currently released to asylum claimants - this has not changed with the incorporation of AI elements into case working.
