9 Feb 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-02-09)

So the shorter stays and reduced infections are part of that £7.5 billion?

What have been the findings on workforce wellbeing with that single-room model?

9 Feb 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-02-09)

Mr Mustow, you were talking about Hospital 2.0 to my colleague Anna Dixon. When they start to be implemented and used by patients, what metrics will you use to measure whether they are delivering improved patient care and workforce wellbeing?

Are you saying that you have stopped the incentive to measure it, but you will be bringing it back again?

9 Feb 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-02-09)

That is for anyone with frailty. You are not specifically looking at people in care homes at the moment. GPs have the responsibility, and that has not changed, even if the incentive to record that specific care plan has. By definition, if someone is in a care home, they must be frail or at risk of frailty. Could GPs no

5 Feb 2026Water Bills

Thames Water’s typical metered charges increased by 40.7% this financial year, and prices will rise again each year until 2030. While our water companies have been mismanaged and reform to bring down the cost of bills is needed, more can be done to encourage customers to meter their water usage. The average non-metered

5 Feb 2026Road Safety

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman; it is tragic to hear about all those lives lost. Consulting on measures to reduce the number of accidents involving young people is a really positive step. Not only is it vital for the obvious safety reasons, but it will make driving more affordable if insurance companies subsequent

I congratulate the hon. Member for Shipley (Anna Dixon) on securing this important debate and sharing her own family’s story. I dedicate my speech to a close and dear friend, a councillor in Richmond upon Thames, who lost her adult son in a road traffic collision on the A31 in Hampshire just before the new year. I am t

4 Feb 2026 Postal Services: Rural Areas

My hon. Friend is right. We have talked a lot today about the implications for individuals and I particularly want to highlight the example from my hon. Friend the Member for Horsham (John Milne). That was really appalling and I send my best wishes to his constituent who suffered that unacceptable incident. My hon. Fri

4 Feb 2026 Postal Services: Rural Areas

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer. I thank the hon. Member for South Shropshire (Stuart Anderson) for securing the debate and for his excellent opening speech, which highlighted so many of the everyday frustrations and difficulties experienced by people who are not getting their post.

3 Feb 2026Topical Questions

T4. One of my constituents is the director of a small property company that commenced the eviction process nearly a year ago against a tenant who had not been paying their rent, but due to court errors, enforcement has not yet taken place. The delays have cost my constituent over £6,000. During a housing crisis, we sho

2 Feb 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-02-02)

You talked about big infrastructure projects and people who can afford to employ agents, but I am concerned about smaller businesses—perhaps people setting up for the first time. If you were in their shoes, Ms Spain, do you think your organisation would be easy to deal with? Are you thinking about it from that perspect

Ms Spain, what more are you at Natural England doing to make it easier for businesses to engage?

Presumably there are limits to what can be done digitally to fix that, with forms and that very structured approach. Paragraph 12 of the Report points out that there have been “reductions in local expertise and knowledge within the regulators”. Notwithstanding what you were saying earlier about how many more staff you

2 Feb 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-02-02)

It is phrased better, which is good, but is it easy for people to find? Is it easy for somebody who needs that guidance to know they need it, and to find it quickly?

2 Feb 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-02-02)

We have been talking a lot about regulation and how extensive it is. The National Audit Office Report points very clearly to how this can be a real problem for businesses and farmers, and we have heard that evidence. One of the issues is how difficult it is for individual businesses or organisations to find the correct

29 Jan 2026Hospitality Sector

The heavy burden of Labour’s national insurance contributions rise, compounded by high energy costs and the business rates increase, has raised alarm about the affordability of hospitality businesses’ monthly employment costs. Some 84,000 jobs in the hospitality sector alone have been lost since the NICs rise was intro
