| 25 Feb 2026 | Ukraine “My hon. Friend makes a valid point about the tactics that Putin is using at the moment. Temperatures in Ukraine have dropped to minus 20°C, which has had profound consequences for everyone there. Not only are people freezing to death, which has a huge effect on the frontline, but military veterans with prosthetics are …” defenceculture-community | 111 |
| 24 Feb 2026 | Ambulance Response Times “In November, I joined a local ambulance crew and saw at first hand the great work they do for our community, but services are under huge strain. Will the Minister designate ambulance stations as critical infrastructure to protect them from closure and set up an emergency fund to support them?” health | 50 |
| 24 Feb 2026 | Online Harm: Child Protection “Last week, the chief executive officer of Meta took the stand in Los Angeles as part of a landmark trial examining Instagram’s impact on the mental health of young users. This highlights the confusion about who is responsible for what in the online space. We know that we need Government legislation, but we also need cl…” culture-communityhealtheducation | 97 |
| 24 Feb 2026 | Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor “On that point, I have been contacted by a constituent who played a public role in the middle east. They said that during their time in that role, they had to go through incredible checks—background checks and so on. Does my hon. Friend agree that the release of these files would enable us to see whether the same backgr…” mp-performanceculture-communitycrime | 76 |
| 24 Feb 2026 | EU Membership Referendum: Impact on the UK “Does the hon. Gentleman find it bizarre that at the moment British citizens can spend only 90 days out of every 180 in Europe, yet reciprocally EU nationals can spend six months in the UK? Does he think that at the next EU-UK summit we could pursue a reciprocal visa travel arrangement?” economy-jobsenvironmentdefence | 52 |
| 24 Feb 2026 | Local Transport: Planning Developments “Epsom and Ewell has the highest accommodation costs in England. That pressure is being addressed by building new housing, but the challenge is that in one development in my constituency, residents had to wait nearly a decade after moving into their new homes to get a bus route and new school, with additional pressure o…” housingtransportlocal-government | 81 |
| 10 Feb 2026 | Independent Water Commission: Final Report “The Rye brook in Ashtead, which runs past local schools, has suffered loads of raw sewage leaks. It feeds into the River Mole, which has seen 3,000 hours of storm overflows in January 2026. The run-off pollutes local chalk streams as well. The hon. Lady might be interested to know that, while the report also ignored re…” environmentutilitieshealth | 94 |
| 10 Feb 2026 | Decarbonisation Schemes: GP Access “Primary care accounts for around 25% of the NHS’s carbon emissions, with many GPs working in ageing, energy-inefficient buildings with high running costs. Research from the Royal College of General Practitioners reveals that only five GP practices in England and Wales have accessed the boiler upgrade grant scheme since…” energyhealthenvironment | 122 |
| 10 Feb 2026 | Decarbonisation Schemes: GP Access “4. What plans his Department has to help improve GP access to decarbonisation schemes.” energyhealthenvironment | 14 |
| 9 Feb 2026 | Brain Tumour Survival Rates “The hon. Lady brilliantly describes the real nub of the problem. One of my constituents got in touch to tell me that in the space of a few months, four people that she knew received a brain tumour diagnosis. With symptoms ranging from seizures to changes in behaviour, the diagnosis process for brain tumours can be dram…” healthsocial-care | 481 |
| 9 Feb 2026 | Brain Tumour Survival Rates “I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Charlie Maynard) and the hon. Member for Mitcham and Morden (Dame Siobhain McDonagh) on securing this really important debate in the Chamber, and I thank them for campaigning so tirelessly on this issue. I know how closely it affects families, including the family of…” healthsocial-care | 176 |
| 5 Feb 2026 | National Cancer Plan “I thank the Minister for advance sight of the statement and for her personal experience that has gone into this plan. After the Conservatives failed to invest in our NHS, it is no surprise that cancer survival in the UK is still around 10 to 15 years behind leading countries, with worse survival rates for some cancers …” healtheconomy-jobslocal-government | 396 |
| 3 Feb 2026 | Transport in the South-East “My constituents have got in touch about a significant fare increase that they are experiencing with Southern Railway. The Leatherhead to London Victoria single fare at 8.51 am has increased 39.4% from £12.70 to £17.70. That is because of the introduction of contactless by Transport for London, who determine prices for …” transportlocal-governmenteconomy-jobs | 80 |
| 3 Feb 2026 | Topical Questions “Given that the MOJ is responsible for granting exhumation licences, does the Secretary of State agree that significant historical pauper burial sites, such Horton cemetery in my constituency, require stronger safeguards, and will he meet me to discuss how licensing decisions can better protect them?” crime | 45 |
| 3 Feb 2026 | Backbench Business Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-02-03) “Further to that, it is affecting women’s health. If you search on the internet to understand a particular condition that you might have, the censorship is preventing you from understanding that further. This is a very real challenge that women are experiencing.” | 42 |
| 3 Feb 2026 | Town and City Centre Safety “I am pleased that the night-time economy is on the rise in Epsom, and although I have not sampled the new Labyrinth nightclub I have been to many restaurants and pubs with local residents. The thriving night-time economy contributes to our high streets but, as the hon. Member mentioned, they must be safe. Does he agree…” crimelocal-governmenteconomy-jobs | 68 |
| 2 Feb 2026 | Indefinite Leave to Remain “One of my constituents is incredibly distressed: they are a dependant of a local business owner and they contacted me about the European Community association agreement route. They are concerned that the proposed earned settlement skilled worker metrics cannot be applied to ECAA entrepreneurs, who must demonstrate a ge…” immigrationsocial-carehealth | 81 |
| 28 Jan 2026 | Firearms Licence Holders: Mandatory Medical Markers “I am listening intently to the Minister, but if he is saying that the number of people who have been referred to their GP with potential conditions and the number of markers are as expected, I cannot understand what difference it would make if the marker were mandatory. It seems as though it is sort of happening alread…” crimehealthagriculture | 85 |

| 28 Jan 2026 | Firearms Licence Holders: Mandatory Medical Markers “I am disappointed that the Minister will not be considering making use of the medical marker mandatory. I hope that he will go away and reconsider, particularly because, as many hon. Members have alluded to, there would be no additional cost to doing so. There is a lot of consensus here; making the medical marker manda…” crimehealthagriculture | 211 |
