Asked by: Llinos Medi (Plaid Cymru - Ynys Môn) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the oral contribution of the Minister for Children and Families during the debate on Universities: Statutory Duty of Care of 13 January 2026, Official Report, column 302WH, what the evidential basis is for the statement that introducing a statutory duty of care in higher education “risks becoming a ceiling rather than a floor” in institutional standards. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only. The government recognises the importance of ensuring that higher education (HE) providers maintain high standards of student safety and wellbeing. The department’s position is that HE providers already owe a general duty of care to deliver educational and pastoral services to the standard of an ordinarily competent institution and, in carrying out these services, they are expected to act reasonably. Such a duty of care may already arise in certain circumstances, depending on the facts of individual cases. The department has considered a range of evidence on variation in student support, including official statistics, coroners’ reports, case reviews, and engagement with providers, students and experts, as well as the National Review of Higher Education Student Suicide Deaths. This evidence, alongside stakeholder and legal input, has informed concerns about potential unintended consequences of a statutory duty, including increased legal uncertainty, more risk averse practice, and unclear responsibilities between HE providers and other services. The department recognises that statutory duties of care operate in other sectors, such as health and schools, but differences in context, particularly that HE students are adults, and the unique settings of universities, limit direct comparability. The government continues to strengthen protections through the existing regulatory framework, including work by the Office for Students to develop a Statement of Expectations covering disability and mental health. |

The future of Policing in Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Policing in Wales is reserved to the UK Government, with the Home Office bearing responsibility for publishing the most pressing national crime threats and how police forces ought to respond to them (the Strategic Policing Requirement), presenting the Annual Police Grant Report to Parliament for approval, and holding Police and Crime Commissioners accountable. As elected representatives, Police and Crime Commissioners are responsible for police governance, police oversight, and the commissioning of criminal justice services for their force area. A UK Government White Paper published in January outlined plans to abolish PCCs, the elected officials responsible for overseeing the budget and overall strategy of individual police forces in England and Wales. In England, their responsibilities will be taken on by elected regional mayors or council leaders, however it is not yet clear who will take on these functions in Wales. It also set out plans to merge a number of England and Wales’ 43 territorial police forces, although there is no clarity yet on what this could mean for Wales. |

Metal mine pollution in Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Once a major industry in Wales, mines extracting metals like zinc, lead and gold are now largely abandoned. But metals from these mines can discharge into local rivers, streams and lakes, damaging local plant and animal biodiversity and possibly impacting human health. Abandoned metal mines cause extensive pollution in Wales. Approximately 1,300 sites impact on water quality and ecology in over 700km of watercourses. The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) and Natural Resources Wales (NRW), since 2020, are addressing these impacts through the Metal (Non-Coal) Mines Programme, funded by the Welsh Government. As part of the Committee’s inquiry into ‘The environmental and economic legacy of Wales’ industrial past’ the Committee will hold a one-off evidence session on metal mines. |

Wales' role in defending the UK Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 31 Aug 2026) Wales is home to a substantial and well matured defence manufacturing industry, spanning sectors including aerospace, defence-related electronics, drones, weapons, ammunition and land systems manufacturing (e.g. armoured fighting vehicles). The Welsh Government has estimated that Wales’ combined defence and aerospace sector directly employs 16,000 people, has a turnover of £3.7 billion and contributes approximately £1.5 billion in gross valued added (GVA) to the Welsh economy. The UK Government has committed to increasing defence spending to 3% of GDP in the next Parliament, with current projections showing an estimated spend of 2.68% of GDP by 2030. In line with its NATO allies, the UK has committed to reach 3.5% of GDP on defence spending by 2035. The UK Government has said that defence investment will create a 'ripple effect throughout the Welsh economy, supporting not only direct employment but also numerous supply chain businesses and local communities'. Our inquiry seeks to investigate how Wales can best benefit from rising government spending on defence, as well as to assess what contribution the defence manufacturing industry in Wales makes to the UK’s overall defence capabilities. We’re looking to answer four key strategic questions:
