13 May 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 150)

How can schools improve their support for children with SEND to read for pleasure? Victoria, you mentioned some of the great work that school librarians do.

My first question is to Dr McDonald. Will you tell us about the reading for pleasure quality mark awarded to schools? For example, what key features are seen in schools that are awarded higher levels?

13 May 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 150)

We have heard about barriers to reading, and I want to focus on support. How effective is the support that is currently available to parents and carers to help them to develop a habit of reading with their children? Can I start with you, Julie?

13 May 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 150)

Your evidence states that fewer than 70 schools have achieved or are working towards the quality mark. How can that work be scaled up so that more schools are allowed to implement the best practice?

Following on from your response, especially about even before the child goes to school, what should be the role of health visitors in supporting parents and carers and babies, toddlers and children to read for pleasure? What support do public libraries give and how can that be improved?

We have heard that much of the research on best practice currently focuses on primary schools. What should secondary schools be doing to address the decline in reading for pleasure?

I just want to add that my constituent is 13.

I am dealing with a case involving one of my constituents who has received disgusting, distressing, misogynistic messages on your platform, Snapchat. It was difficult for the parent-carers to report the messages, and I think we are going to look into that. For me, Snapchat does not feel like a safe place for our childr

28 Apr 2026Park Home Owners

I hear repeatedly from park home residents in my constituency that they do not understand what the 10% charge is actually paying for. They feel that they have very little leverage and are stuck in a system that they cannot challenge. Does the hon. Member agree that any review must go beyond another round of evidence ga

A new concern included in the Government’s consultation “Growing up in the online world” was, rightly, the growth of AI chatbots and children forming excessive reliance on and connection to those, including using chatbots to ask for advice. Have your members come across these problems, and what are your views on possib

27 Apr 2026Animal Testing

I thank the hon. Member for her passionate speech. My constituents are proud of the UK’s reputation for high animal welfare standards, but they struggle to square that with the continued scale of animal testing and the lack of pace of change—as she highlighted, it has been slow for nearly 100 years now. Does she agree

22 Apr 2026Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1656)

My question is to Professor Roy Harrison first, but the rest of the panel can also contribute. It has been notoriously difficult to capture and monitor reliable data on ultrafine particulate matter. What advancements have been made to improve this technology and what benefits could be had by capturing this data?
