Israel: Arms Trade
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Friday 11th April 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to publish legal advice on the licensing of arms sales to Israel. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The Government has published a summary of the international humanitarian law (IHL) process used to assess and review Israel's compliance with IHL. This summary, informed by legal advice, alongside the Foreign Secretary's Oral Statement outlined the decision and where we have deemed there are risks that UK arms might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of IHL. This is more transparent than any government has previously been about a decision of this nature. [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/summary-of-the-international-humanitarian-law-ihl-process-decision-and-the-factors-taken-into-account#:~:text=The%20government%20has%20conducted%20a%20thorough%20review%20of%20Israel%E2%80%99s%20compliance]. |

Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Friday 11th April 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many applications made to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund before March 31st 2025 were rejected on the basis that no future funding announcement had been made. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Following an announcement on 1 April, the department is delighted to announce that £50 million has been allocated to the adoption and special guardianship support fund (ASGSF) for the 2025/26 financial year.
No applications to the ASGSF made before 31 March 2025 have been rejected because no announcement had been made. Any applications which requested funding from April 2025 have either been returned for possible re-submission or held on the system.
Transitional funding arrangements for 2025/26 were communicated to all local authorities and regional adoption agencies on 11 April 2024 and reiterated on 25 October 2024. This meant that we could accept applications which started in the 2024/25 financial year and continued into the 2025/26 financial year. However, they could not begin in the 2025/26 financial year.
The department very much values the work of providers of therapy and recognises that this has been a challenging period. We hope the announcement will help providers, families and children prepare for the year ahead. We will provide additional details for the 2025/26 financial year shortly. |

Neurodiversity: Diagnosis
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Wednesday 16th April 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of changes to the NHS Payments Scheme on access to assessment for (a) autism and (b) ADHD. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The consultation on the Payment Scheme proposed requiring commissioners to set a payment limit for elective services, and all services paid for on an activity basis, based on the value of planned levels of activity. Providers would not be paid for activity above this limit. Following consideration of consultation feedback, this proposal has not been implemented. As in previous years, providers will be paid prices for all activity delivered, subject to any activity management restrictions contractually applied by commissioners. Activity management provisions in the Contract will be strengthened, subject to consultation, to allow commissioners to plan affordable activity levels to meet key standards and to manage provider activity in line with their plan. The provisions in the Contract would be much more collaborative than the proposed payment limit. Commissioners would be required to engage with providers to a much greater extent and undertake analysis and discussion before any limits are applied. The escalation route would also ensure that, where needed, impartial expertise will help ensure appropriate plans are put in place. NHS England has allocated all elective funding to integrated care boards (ICBs) and there will be no additional funding available during the year. Local ICBs are responsible for planning service provision in their local area, including for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism assessments. In doing so, ICBs should take account of waiting lists, considering how local funding can be deployed to best meet the needs of their local population. |

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Department ministers have attended 16 meetings on assisted dying and palliative care since July 2024. These were a combination of introductory meetings to the policy area, meetings with the bill team and bill meetings with officials and the sponsor. |
