Schools: Employers' Contributions
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Wednesday 28th January 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when schools will be reimbursed for the increase in National Insurance contributions. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) We have provided schools with over £1.1 billion to support them with the increases to employer National Insurance contributions from April 2025. We published schools’ allocations in May 2025, and payments were made in September and October 2025. |

Schools: Finance
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Wednesday 28th January 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of school funding settlements in meeting pupil need and demographic growth. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) Spending per pupil was at its highest ever level in the 2024/25 financial year, in real terms, and there has been further real terms growth in spending in 2025/26. The school funding settlement announced at the Spending Review more than protects per pupil funding in real terms, with a further £1.7 billion increase in 2026/27.
Every year, the department uses the schools national funding formula to distribute core funding for 5 to 16-year-old pupils, in mainstream state-funded schools in England. This ensures that funding is distributed based on a fair and consistent assessment of need, based first and foremost on pupil numbers.
We recognise the pressures caused by demographic changes in some areas. The lagged funding system helps to give schools more certainty over funding levels. This aids their planning and is particularly important in giving schools with falling rolls time to re-organise their staffing and costs. The department also provides local authorities with growth funding, which they use to support schools whose pupil numbers are rising. |

Pupil Exclusions
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Thursday 29th January 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of requiring schools to fund extended periods of education following exclusion on safeguarding. Answered by Olivia Bailey - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) It is for local authorities, under Section 19 of the Education Act 1996, to arrange and fund suitable education for children of compulsory school age who, because of exclusion, illness or other reasons, may otherwise not receive suitable education. Local authorities are required to arrange alternative provision for a permanently excluded child as soon as possible, and at the latest by the sixth school day of the child’s absence. |

Energy: Social Tariffs
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Friday 30th January 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 social energy tariffs to reduce fuel poverty. Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government knows that more needs to be done to support vulnerable households which are struggling with bills whilst we transition to clean power. That is why the Autumn Budget acted to take an average £150 of costs off people’s energy bills. This support comes on top of the £150 off energy bills provided for around 6 million families under the Warm Home Discount this winter, cutting fuel poverty.
DESNZ is working closely with other Government Departments through the ‘Kickstarter’ programme to test how public sector data can be better joined up to improve access to government programmes. This project will help pave the way for better targeted help to ensure those who are struggling to pay their bills get the support they need. |

General Practitioners: Finance
Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Monday 2nd February 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the review of the Carr-Hill formula will conclude; and when he plans to publish its findings. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The review of the Carr-Hill formula has been commissioned through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and commenced in October 2025. The first phase of the review is expected to conclude in March 2026. Subject to ministerial decision, further work would be undertaken to technically develop and model any proposed changes to the formula. Findings from the review will be published in due course by the NIHR. Members of Parliament will be updated once the review findings are available. Implementation of any new funding approach would be subject to ministerial decision and consultation with the General Practice Committee of England, of the British Medical Association, in the context of the available funding and our commitment to substantively reform the General Medical Services Contract within this Parliament. |

Asked by: Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire) Monday 2nd February 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if her Department is assessing reports of widespread abuses of the de minimis exemption to Biodiversity Net Gain; and whether this exemption is still needed in light of the new exemptions for sites below 0.2 hectares. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) A full consultation response and impact assessment to the Biodiversity Net Gain small, medium and brownfield development consultation will be published soon. This will set out whether any changes will be made to the de minimis exemption alongside the introduction of the new 0.2-hectare area exemption. |
