Higher Education: Career Development
Asked by: Manuela Perteghella (Liberal Democrat - Stratford-on-Avon) Thursday 3rd September 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the extent to which non-traditional educational pathways affect access to (a) academic careers and (b) leadership positions within higher education institutions. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The English higher education (HE) sector is independent of government, and institutional autonomy is a defining principle of our world-class sector. This autonomy protects academic freedom and means that decisions regarding staff appointment and selection rightly sit with providers, not ministers. Nevertheless, the government’s view is that a diverse workforce is essential to supporting innovation and creating the right conditions for debate and challenge. Moreover, young people from diverse communities should be inspired to see excellent role models in the academic sector. The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) publishes data on staff within the sector. This data can be found here: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/staff. The department continues to monitor published sector data, while recognising that responsibility for staff recruitment, support and career progression ultimately rests with HE providers. |

Forests and Tree Planting: Droughts and Temperature
Asked by: Manuela Perteghella (Liberal Democrat - Stratford-on-Avon) Friday 4th September 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of extreme heat and consecutive drought on tree planting and established woodland. Answered by Jenny Riddell-Carpenter - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Forest Research (FR) has assessed that extreme heat and drought can reduce tree growth and increase tree mortality. Consecutive droughts may have cumulative impacts. Tree mortality will be recorded through the field work associated with FR’s National Forest Inventory; however, it will be challenging to attribute mortality to weather conditions in a particular year. Newly planted trees are particularly vulnerable during establishment, while established woodland may become more susceptible to pests, diseases, wildfire and windthrow. FR continues to assess these risks and promote adaptation measures, including resilient species selection and greater species diversity. |

Tree Planting
Asked by: Manuela Perteghella (Liberal Democrat - Stratford-on-Avon) Friday 4th September 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of spatial targeting of tree planting in urban areas to help reduce social inequalities. Answered by Jenny Riddell-Carpenter - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Trees Programme includes a number of schemes that support urban tree planting. Lower urban tree cover often correlates with higher socioeconomic deprivation. The Government supports urban tree planting through the Tree Council and England’s Community Forests. Both plant trees in and around urban areas to improve wellbeing, tackle climate change and create places for nature. The Community Forests planted over 1,800 Hectares in 2025/26.
In line with development of spatial targeting, informed by the Land Use Framework, we are exploring new datasets and tools to better target new trees and woodlands, including future support for urban trees, and how to prioritise areas of deprivation. |

Forestry Act 1967
Asked by: Manuela Perteghella (Liberal Democrat - Stratford-on-Avon) Tuesday 8th September 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of modernising the Forestry Act 1967 to support nature recovery and ecological targets. Answered by Jenny Riddell-Carpenter - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Defra has no immediate plans to make changes to the Forestry Act 1967. We will continue to review whether making changes to the Act could help to meet our wider objectives. Any changes to the Act would require primary legislation. Government already has a substantial suite of statutory duties and policy commitments driving nature recovery, including legally binding targets under the Environment Act 2021. |

8 Sep 2026
Climate adaptation Environmental Audit Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions In its latest advice to the government, the CCC said that climate change is already disrupting life in the UK and said that the UK’s national approach to climate adaption is “not fit for purpose”. It has also argued that the government’s third National Adaptation Plan (NAP3) is not adequately preparing the UK for climate change. Through its inquiry, the Committee will consider whether the government’s current approach to adaptation goes far enough and what changes are needed to improve the UK’s resilience. The new inquiry comes shortly after the UK experienced its hottest summer since records began in 1884, with nearly three-quarters of England and Wales in drought, 23,000 hectares destroyed in major wildfires and the year’s harvest expected to be the worst on record. Action has historically focused on reducing emissions, but scientists now agree that the climate will change significantly even if global targets are reached. By 2050, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) believes heatwaves will cause 92% of existing homes to overheat, peak river flows to be higher, longer lasting and increasing the risk of flooding and drier weather leading to water supply running five billion litres short a day. The Committee invites written evidence on a range of topics including:
