Social Security Benefits: Advisory Services
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 29th May 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper, published on 18 March 2025, on (a) benefits advisory services and (b) charities. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Information on the impacts of the Pathways to Work Green Paper has been published here Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper. A further programme of analysis to support development of the proposals in the Green Paper will be developed and undertaken in the coming months.
There will be no immediate changes. Changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) eligibility and the rebalancing of Universal Credit (UC) are not coming into effect immediately. Our intention is these changes will start to come into effect from April 2026 for UC and November 2026 for PIP, subject to parliamentary approval.
We are consulting on how best to support those who are affected by the new eligibility changes, including how to make sure health and eligible care needs are met.
We have also announced a wider review of the PIP assessment which I will lead, and we will bring together a range of experts, stakeholders and people with lived experience to consider how best to do this and to start the process as part of preparing for a review. We will provide further details as plans progress. |

Household Support Fund
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 29th May 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of proposed welfare reforms on the capacity of the Household Support Fund. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Information on the impacts of the Pathways to Work Green Paper has been published here Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper. A further programme of analysis to support development of the proposals in the Green Paper will be developed and undertaken in the coming months.
The Government has extended the Household Support Fund by a further year, from 1 April 2025 until 31 March 2026. This will ensure vulnerable households in the most need can continue to access support towards the cost of essentials, such as energy, water and food. No decision has been made at this stage on funding beyond the end of March 2026. As with all other government programmes, any such funding will be considered in the round at Phase 2 of the Spending Review. |

Performing Arts
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 29th May 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has had discussions with the Office for Students on introducing greater flexibility for specialist conservatoire-style performing arts institutions. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) All registered providers are expected to meet the same conditions of registration. It is important that all students benefit from the same level of protection, no matter where or how they choose to study. The Office for Students (OfS) takes a provider’s context into account when making its regulatory judgements. The OfS welcomes specific feedback from providers where they feel they are experiencing disproportionate regulatory burden to ensure they can find the right balance. |

Music: Qualifications
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 29th May 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the Level 6 Trinity Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre will be in scope of the Lifelong Learning Entitlement when it is introduced. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) will transform the post-18 student finance system to create a single funding system. The LLE will replace higher education student finance loans and eventually replace the Advanced Learner Loan (ALL) scheme for levels 4 to 6. In the first instance, some courses will transfer from being ALL-funded to being LLE-funded upon the LLE’s introduction. This is the case for the Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre, which will transfer and therefore be in scope for the LLE. For courses which are being transferred for LLE launch, the relevant providers, including the awarding organisation, Trinity College London, were notified of the transfer outcomes in March 2025. The ‘List of Qualifications approved for funding’ can be found at the following link by filtering by LLE: https://www.qualifications.education.gov.uk/.

Universal Credit
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 29th May 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of increasing flexibility within Universal Credit to enable greater labour market engagement. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) This Government committed in its manifesto to review Universal Credit, to reduce poverty and make work pay. We believe that work continues to be the best way out of poverty, and growing the economy and driving up living standards across the country is this Government’s number one mission in our Plan for Change. This requires as many people as possible to realise the benefits of good work, and Universal Credit has a critical role to play in achieving this goal. The review will consider changes to Universal Credit which could increase labour market engagement.
We have already taken positive steps through the Get Britain Working White Paper which set out the biggest reforms to employment support for a generation and we are giving people on health benefits the opportunity to try work by legislating to guarantee that work in and of itself will never lead to a reassessment. |

Nuclear Power
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 29th May 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many meetings his Department has had with (a) representatives of commercial nuclear manufacturers, (b) power utilities interested in building a new nuclear plant and (c) non-governmental organisations concerned with nuclear power in the last six months; and if he will publish the minutes of each meeting.

Gas Fired Power Stations and Small Modular Reactors: Investment
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 29th May 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of (a) the comparative efficiency and (b) cost-effectiveness of (i) improving the thermal efficiency of existing Combined Cycle Gas Turbine power stations and (ii) investing in small modular nuclear reactors. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) No direct assessment has been made of the impact of more efficient CCGTs on wholesale electricity prices, nor of the efficiency of CCGTs versus small modular reactors.
An efficient electricity system needs a range of technologies to ensure that we reach our carbon goals while ensuring cost-effective energy security. Increasing participation of renewables in the wholesale market means that, over time, those technologies will determine the price more often and gas will play a much more limited role in setting the market price.
Improving efficiency of CCGTs is a commercial decision for plant operators.
Great British Nuclear (GBN) is driving forward its small modular reactor (SMR) competition for UK deployment. As with any technology, the economic case for SMRs would be factored into any investment decision. |

Hospitals: Discharges
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Friday 30th May 2025 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 is taking to help tackle delays in the transfer of care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) It is a priority for the Department to tackle delays in the transfer of care, and to ensure that people receive the care that they need. On 30 January 2025, the Government published a revised policy framework for the £9 billion Better Care Fund. The new BCF Policy Framework for the 2025-2026 financial year supports local areas to use pooled funding in way that delivers greater impact for those receiving integrated health and social care. Under the new framework, local authorities and National Health Service integrated care boards are accountable for providing timely and joined-up support for people with more complex health and care needs, and for achieving more timely and effective discharge from acute, community, and mental health hospital settings. |

NHS: Staff
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Monday 2nd June 2025 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 improve NHS staff (a) working conditions and (b) wellbeing. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government inherited a broken National Health Service with an overworked and demoralised workforce. We hugely value all NHS staff and are committed to improving working conditions, so we can keep staff healthy, motivated, and retain valuable skills. That is why one of our first actions was to give NHS staff an above inflation pay rise. Local employers across the NHS have in place arrangements for supporting staff, including occupational health provision, employee support programmes, and a focus on healthy working environments. At a national level, NHS England has made available additional emotional and psychological health and wellbeing support. They have also set out a roadmap for the NHS and partner organisations to work together to develop and invest in occupational health and wellbeing services for NHS staff. |

NHS: Staff
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Monday 2nd June 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what are the retention rates for NHS staff for each year since 2020. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) NHS England publishes quarterly information on the turnover of National Health Service staff within their NHS Workforce Statistics publication, with further information available at the following link: https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-workforce-statistics This covers the rate of staff joining and leaving active service in English NHS trusts and other core organisations over annual periods. Rates include staff going on, or returning from, periods of unpaid leave, such as career and maternity breaks, and will also include staff remaining in their professions but undertaking roles in other sectors such as primary care, social care, or independent provision. This data is available at national and regional levels, as well as for individual staffing groups. The latest release, which covers the year to December 2024, can be found at the following link: The Government is committed to making the NHS the best place to work, to ensure we retain more of our skilled and dedicated staff. NHS England is leading work nationally through its retention programme to drive a consistent, system-wide approach to staff retention across NHS trusts. This ensures trusts have access to proven retention strategies, data-driven monitoring, and can foster a more stable, engaged, productive, and supported workforce. |

Water Treatment: Environment Protection
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Monday 2nd June 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to require the Environment Agency to revise environmental permits to enforce compliance with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations 1994. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Environment Agency (EA) enforces the Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations (UWWTR) through environmental permits. These set discharge limits, nutrient removal standards, and monitoring and reporting requirements, based on population size and receiving water sensitivity. Operators must regularly report data, which the EA assesses for compliance. Enforcement action is taken for breaches. Under the Environmental Permitting Regulations, the EA also reviews permits periodically to ensure they stay aligned with UWWTR, capturing changes in population, treatment standards, or sensitive area designations. This ensures permits remain current, effective, and protective of the environment. |
