Written Answers
Arts: Higher Education Asked by: Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole) Tuesday 13th May 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding her Department plans to provide for (a) dance, (b) drama, (c) music and (d) musical theatre higher education courses in each of the next three years. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The department is determined that the higher education (HE) funding system should deliver for our economy, for universities and for students. The HE sector needs a secure financial footing, which is why, after seven years of frozen fee caps under the previous government, we took last year the difficult decision to increase maximum tuition fee limits for the 2025/26 academic year by 3.1%, in line with the forecast rate of inflation. In return for the increased investment we are asking students to make we expect the sector to deliver the very best outcomes, both for those students and for the country. Additionally, the government provides annual funding to the HE sector through the Strategic Priorities Grant (SPG), which supports teaching of expensive-to-deliver subjects, access and participation and world-leading specialist providers. My right hon. Friend, The Secretary of State for Education will shortly issue guidance to the Office for Students, setting out SPG funding for the 2025/26 academic year and her priorities for it. Funding for subsequent years will be agreed following the government’s spending review.
Local Government: Remote Meetings Asked by: Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole) Tuesday 13th May 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when her Department will publish the response to the consultation entitled Enabling remote attendance and proxy voting at local authority meetings, which closed on 19 December 2024. Answered by Jim McMahon - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Our consultation on remote attendance and proxy voting closed on 19 December, and results will be published in due course. The consultation aimed to consider how to support the local government sector to modernise democratic engagement and remove unnecessary barriers to participation.
Disabled Students' Allowances: Assistive Technology Asked by: Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole) Wednesday 14th May 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which groups were consulted on the withdrawal of funding for non-specialist assistive software through the Disabled Students' Allowance. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The department engaged with individual disability experts with relevant experience to gather feedback on the proposals. These experts were consulted in a personal capacity, and the department is therefore not able to provide their personal information. This policy change relates to non-specialist spelling and grammar software only. The decision to remove non-specialist spelling and grammar software from Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) funding was made on the grounds that there are now free to access versions available with the required functionality to meet students’ disability-related support needs, and it is therefore not an effective use of public money to continue to fund this type of software through DSA.
Social Rented Housing Asked by: Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole) Monday 19th May 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of methodological changes to the classification of certain types of accommodation between the 2011 and 2021 censuses by the Office for National Statistics on local authorities' Housing Delivery Test results. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The established methodology for official statistics on housing supply utilises the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) census to improve the quality and reliability of these statistics. The census dwelling count is subject to intensive validation processes and address matching and provides the baseline for the net additional dwellings statistics. A comparison of total dwelling stock counts between the 2021 and 2011 censuses led to adjustments to some of the net additional dwellings figures, which are used as the basis for the Housing Delivery Test (HDT). This only affected the 2020/21 delivery year in the latest HDT 2023 statistics. Following discussions with the ONS and with some relevant local authorities, we believe that in limited and specific cases these census adjusted figures are not appropriate to use for the purposes of the HDT. We are therefore in contact with relevant local authorities and have issued recalculations where needed.
Emergency Services: Finance Asked by: Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole) Tuesday 20th May 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to increase funding for emergency services. Answered by Darren Jones - Chief Secretary to the Treasury The Government is committed to supporting our vital emergency services. That is why in 2025/26 we have increased health spending by £22.6 billion relative to 2023/24, policing funding by £1.1 billion and standalone Fire and Rescue Authorities by £65.5 million compared to 2024/25. Funding settlements for emergency services over the next three years will be set out in June’s Spending Review.
Offences against Children: Prisoners' Release Asked by: Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole) Thursday 22nd May 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many offenders convicted of non-sexual offences against children have been released under early release schemes; and what steps her Department is taking to supervise those offenders. Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury This Government inherited prisons days from collapse. We were forced to take decisive action to prevent overcrowding and protect the public. Certain offences have been excluded from the SDS change including sex offences irrespective of sentence length; serious violent offences with a sentence of four years or more; specified offences linked to domestic abuse irrespective of sentence length (including stalking, coercive or controlling behaviour and non-fatal strangulation); as well as offences concerning national security. Offenders released are subject to strict licence conditions, including curfews, exclusion zones, and regular supervision by the Probation Service. Any breach of these conditions can result in immediate recall to custody. We have published SDS40 release data alongside the quarterly Offender Management Statistics: Standard Determinate Sentence (SDS40) release data - GOV.UK.
Transgender People Asked by: Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole) Wednesday 28th May 2025 Question To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Supreme Court ruling of [2025] UKSC 16, 16 April 2025, on levels of provision of (a) services, (b) healthcare and (c) workplace facilities for trans people; and what steps she is taking to support trans people who cannot access those services. Answered by Nia Griffith - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales Office) The Government has set out our expectation that organisations follow the clarity the Supreme Court ruling provides. The EHRC has committed to support organisations with its updated statutory Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations which they are consulting on. We encourage people to ensure their views are heard by submitting a response to the consultation which launched on Tuesday 20th May. Trans people should have access to the services and facilities they need. It is also vitally important that trans people receive the care and support they need when accessing NHS services, and that they are treated with dignity and respect.
