Special Educational Needs: Rural Areas
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 24th November 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that families of children with SEND in rural areas have equitable access to early parenting support. Answered by Olivia Bailey - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life sets out how the government will invest close to £1.5 billion over the next three years to expand and strengthen family services. This will include £500 million for rolling out Best Start Family Hubs in every local authority. Each Best Start Family Hub will have a children and family services professional specifically trained in supporting parents of children with additional needs. This will help identify children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who may need extra help, making links with local early years settings and health services. We will also fund more evidence based parenting offers and set clearer rules to ensure that funding is used on high quality parenting programmes. This will be supported by a new national Best Start digital service, linked to ‘My Children’ on the NHS app, bringing together the advice and guidance parents need in one place, and linking families to local services. The Families First Partnership programme is embedding Family Help as a seamless offer of family support delivered by multi-disciplinary, community based teams. This includes a broad range of professionals, including those working in SEND. The location of services will be determined by local authorities, with partners, and we encourage areas to consider family hubs as a location. |

AWE: Labour Turnover
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Monday 24th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of reports of redundancies on the Atomic Weapons Establishment’s ability to recruit and retain scientists and engineers.

Swans: Newbury
Asked by: Lee Dillon (Liberal Democrat - Newbury) Wednesday 26th November 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 her Department is taking to protect swans from harm caused by catapults in Newbury constituency. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Government takes crimes against wildlife seriously, including those involving the use of catapults to cause harm to swans, in Newbury or anywhere else in the country.
Although catapults are not listed as prohibited weapons in the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, within this legislation there are a range of offences around deliberate attempts to kill, injure or inflict harm on wild birds. The Government therefore believes sufficient legislation is already in place to protect them from targeted use of catapults.
Defra is also a principal funder of the National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU) which helps prevent and detect wildlife crime by obtaining and disseminating intelligence, undertaking analysis which highlights local or national threats and directly assisting law enforcers in their investigations.
However, Defra recognises the misuse of catapults is causing great concern to some local communities and are working with the Home Office to find solutions to this problem with the aim of increasing protection to our wildlife from crimes involving these weapons. |

Independent schools are required to cover health education as part of their responsibility to provide personal, social, health and economic education. The statutory RSHE guidance includes basic first aid for primary school children, for example dealing with common injuries, such as head injuries. Pupils in secondary schools are taught further first aid, for example how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the purpose of defibrillators and how to use them. |

24 Nov 2025
Written Parliamentary Questions Procedure Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Written Parliamentary Questions (WPQs) are an important tool for Members of Parliament to obtain detailed and targeted information to aid in the scrutiny of Government policy and operations. The long-established purpose of WPQs is to uphold transparency and accountability by ensuring that the Government provides clear and timely information to Parliament, and to the public via their publication. Recent concerns have been raised that the present WPQ system has been coming under strain and not fully delivering on its intended purpose. This inquiry provides the opportunity to undertake a detailed review of WPQs, to look at their purpose, their use, and the processes that underpin them, in order to identify potential recommendations for improvement and reform. |
