Paracetamol
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Tuesday 19th May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of the regulatory framework for liquid paracetamol products, including the quantity that can be purchased at one time. Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The majority of patients use and take paracetamol responsibly. However, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is aware that paracetamol can be a favoured drug of choice for impulsive or intentional overdose. The MHRA takes these issues seriously as patient safety is our priority. The MHRA monitors the safety of medicines, including the sale of paracetamol without prescription. In March 2025, the MHRA updated the voluntary Best Practice Guidance on the sale of medicines for pain relief, for general sales, to further highlight the risks of overdose, and to address public concerns and recognise current sales techniques. This guidance is available at the following link: Further risk mitigation measures are also being considered. These are voluntary guidelines concerning the sale of solid oral forms, both tablets or capsules, and have been agreed with retailers to minimise the risk of impulse buying and reduce the risk of overdose. While the guidance was for solid formulations, many retailers also apply the guidance to liquid formulations, with bars at their checkout to prevent the sale of more than two packs of medicines for pain. The guidance was to address the potential risk of overdose if a person chose to consume multiple tablets at once, which is likely to be more difficult with the syrup liquid formulations. The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 stipulate specific warnings for all paracetamol products to ensure that patients are warned of the risks of overuse. In addition, bottles should have child resistant caps to minimise the risk of access by the child. The MHRA undertook a review of paracetamol safety in 2024 to examine the pack size of the solid dose forms. A reduction in pack size was not considered to provide additional risk minimisation as individuals are able to buy more than one pack in a single transaction. The risk of overdose associated with the use of liquid paracetamol is less likely owing to the difficulty in swallowing a large volume of a viscous liquid. However, regulations also stipulate the maximum quantity that should be included in a container, whether it is in liquid or solid form. However, the MHRA is exploring legislative actions to address excessive sales and reduce the potential for harm, while remaining supportive of genuine patients. |

Roads: Accidents
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Monday 18th May 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce legislation to make it an offence to fail to report a road traffic incident in which a cat is struck and killed; and what assessment she has made of the potential merits of extending existing legal requirements for reporting collisions involving certain animals to include cats. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury There are no plans to amend section 170 of the Road Traffic Act to make it mandatory for drivers to report road collisions involving cats.
Although there is no obligation to report all animal deaths on roads, drivers should, if possible, make enquiries to ascertain the owner of domestic animals, such as cats, and advise them of the situation.
Since June 2024, all cats in England over 20 weeks of age must be microchipped and registered on a compliant database, unless exempt or free-living. This will make it easier for National Highways and local authorities to reunite cats with their keeper.

Heat Networks: Contracts
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Wednesday 27th May 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of introducing Contracts for Difference for heat networks on consumers. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) We welcome the proposal from the Heat Network Industry Council and we are assessing it in detail.
Heat networks are a key component of the Government’s strategy to deliver secure, affordable and low‑carbon heat, as set out in the Warm Homes Plan.
They enable the efficient distribution of heat from a central source to multiple buildings, and are particularly well suited to densely populated urban areas and locations with access to large-scale, low‑carbon or waste heat sources. |

Palliative Care
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Thursday 21st May 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 work with other NHS bodies, such as local integrated care boards, on the development of the Modern Service Framework for Palliative and End of Life Care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We have been engaging with a range of stakeholders, from around 70 organisations, to inform the development of the Modern Service Framework for Palliative Care and End of Life Care. This includes the Ambitions Partnership and NHS Alliance. We are also undertaking engagement with integrated care systems through National Health Service regional teams. |

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) In 2026, 5% of English allocated quota was distributed via the Quota Application Mechanism. Around 86% of quota was via methods based on Fixed Quota Allocation Units (‘existing quota’ and ‘additional quota’) and 9% via alternative routes. |

Renewable Energy: Finance
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a cap and floor design to repower renewable energy generation projects post-contract. Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government amended the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme from Allocation Round 7 (AR7) to enable the repowering of onshore wind projects, following consultation and stakeholder engagement. Repowered onshore wind projects are now eligible to compete for CfD support.
The Government will keep under review the potential extension of repowering arrangements to other renewable technologies, such as offshore wind, in future allocation rounds. |

Renewable Energy: Industry
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Friday 22nd May 2026 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 the effectiveness of Germany's Contracts for Difference scheme for industry to electrify and decarbonise effectively. Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) UK and German officials regularly engage to exchange best practices and lessons learnt on industrial decarbonisation, including on issues such as auction design and support schemes, notably through the UK-Germany Climate and Energy partnership, as well as through multilateral fora including the Climate Club, the Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative, and the Breakthrough Agenda. |

Romanian Language: GCSE
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the potential benefits of introducing Romanian as an approved subject within the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE); and whether it has plans to support the development and accreditation of a Romanian GCSE qualification. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) Decisions about which languages to offer at GCSE in England are taken by four independent awarding organisations, AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel and WJEC, rather than by central government. These organisations have the freedom to create a Romanian GCSE based on the subject content for modern foreign languages set by the department.

Children: Maintenance
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Friday 29th May 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions his Department has had with HMRC on the potential use of coding‑out powers to support the collection of debts owed to the Child Maintenance Service. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The Department keeps under review a range of options to improve the collection of child maintenance and arrears, including the potential use of existing government debt collection mechanisms.
The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) already has a range of strong enforcement powers that are designed to get money flowing quickly, prevent the build-up of arrears and ensure children get the financial support they deserve. These powers include the ability to deduct directly from the paying parent’s earnings or bank accounts and disqualifications from holding or obtaining driving licenses and passports.
Therefore, while the Department continues to work closely with HMRC, debt collection work is currently focused on making best use of existing CMS powers, including improving the speed and effectiveness with which they are applied.
CMS has made significant improvements to the enforcement process to speed up action when payments first break down and to target activity more effectively.
In March 2025, CMS established a process to manage high and medium-risk cases using predictive analytics, resulting in earlier identification of at-risk cases and enabling caseworker intervention at the earliest opportunity where indicators of non-compliance are identified.
Additionally, our intention remains to remove Direct Pay when parliamentary time allows. Moving to a single, strengthened Collect and Pay system will allow the CMS to monitor all payments, identify missed or partial payments immediately, and take faster enforcement action. Ahead of this change, the CMS is already moving non-compliant parents more quickly from Direct Pay to Collect and Pay. |
