Health Bill: Further to consider the Bill
The Commons is returning to General Committee stage to continue detailed line-by-line scrutiny of the Health Bill. This is a further sitting to examine clauses, amendments, and policy detail that could not be completed in earlier sessions. The bill will likely cover NHS structures, patient care, healthcare regulation, or public health powers—areas requiring thorough parliamentary examination before the bill moves to its final Commons stage.
Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee: Modernising Elections
The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee is holding an oral evidence session on modernising elections. This inquiry examines how electoral processes and administration can be updated, likely covering ballot procedures, voter registration, digital tools, and accessibility. The session will hear from expert witnesses on barriers to voting and opportunities to improve turnout and electoral efficiency.
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee: Biosecurity and animal welfare
A private meeting of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee. The committee oversees policy on farming, environmental protection, food standards, and rural development. Private meetings typically involve internal business such as work planning, evidence review, or strategic discussion of ongoing inquiries.
Government support for regenerating local high streets and removing unlawful storefronts
A Westminster Hall debate on how the government can support the regeneration of town centres and high streets, and address the problem of unlawful storefronts. The debate will explore what financial support, planning reforms, or enforcement measures are needed to reverse the decline of local shopping areas and tackle illegal or problematic shop operations.
Treasury Committee: Tax and duty non-compliance on high streets
The Treasury Committee will hear oral evidence on tax and duty non-compliance affecting high street businesses and consumers. The inquiry examines how widespread evasion and avoidance of taxes and duties (such as VAT and excise duties on alcohol and tobacco) undermines legitimate retailers, inflates prices for honest consumers, and erodes the tax base that funds public services.
Culture, Media and Sport Committee: BBC Royal Charter Review
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee will hear oral evidence on the BBC's Royal Charter Review. The Royal Charter is the BBC's governing document, setting out its public purposes, funding model, and operational framework. This review examines whether the current charter—last renewed in 2017—remains fit for purpose in a rapidly changing media landscape, or whether reforms are needed to the corporation's structure, accountability, or remit.
Support for regenerating local high streets and removing unlawful storefronts
A Westminster Hall debate on high street regeneration and enforcement against unlawful storefronts, sponsored by Conservative MP Bradley Thomas of Bromsgrove. The debate will examine support measures for declining town centres and action to remove illegal or unregulated retail operations that undermine legitimate businesses and community safety.
Education Committee: Early Years: Improving Support for Children and Families
The Education Committee is conducting oral evidence sessions on early years support—childcare, nurseries, and family services for young children and their parents. The inquiry examines how well the current system meets families' needs, what gaps exist, and how support could be improved. This matters because early years provision affects parents' ability to work, child development outcomes, and family financial security.
Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee: Inquiry into the recommendations of the Infected Blood Inquiry (Stage 1)
The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee is opening a formal inquiry into how the government should implement the recommendations from the Infected Blood Inquiry, a public inquiry that examined one of the UK's worst public health scandals. The inquiry examined contamination of blood products that infected thousands of haemophiliacs and transfusion patients with HIV and hepatitis C from the 1970s onwards. This first stage of the committee's work will gather evidence on what changes are needed to act on those recommendations, likely covering compensation, NHS accountability, and systemic safeguards.
Contribution of nationally significant energy infrastructure projects to communities
A Westminster Hall debate on how communities should benefit from major energy infrastructure projects of national importance. Jenny Riddell-Carpenter (Labour, Suffolk Coastal) is seeking to establish how developers and government can ensure local areas hosting large-scale energy schemes—such as wind farms, solar installations, or grid infrastructure—receive tangible economic and social benefits rather than bearing costs and disruption alone.
Justice (including Topical Questions)
Oral questions to the Justice Secretary on matters within the department's remit, including the criminal justice system, courts, prisons, and sentencing. Topical questions allow MPs to raise urgent, recently-emerged issues affecting the justice portfolio. This session will test the government's handling of live criminal justice challenges and performance across courts, law enforcement, and the prison estate.
International Development Committee: The UK’s International Climate Finance
The International Development Committee will hear oral evidence on the UK's international climate finance commitments and spending. This inquiry examines how much the government allocates to climate-related aid, whether funds reach the countries most vulnerable to climate change, and whether the UK is meeting its international pledges on climate finance. The session will test whether current spending levels and priorities align with both the government's climate leadership rhetoric and the needs of developing nations.
Justice Committee: Work of the Crown Prosecution Service
The Justice Committee will examine the Crown Prosecution Service's operational performance and priorities. The CPS is the body responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in England and Wales, and this inquiry will scrutinise how well it is meeting its duty to deliver justice fairly and efficiently.
Health Bill: Further to consider the Bill
This is a continuation of committee-stage scrutiny of the Health Bill. MPs will examine further clauses and amendments to the Bill in general committee, allowing detailed line-by-line consideration of the Government's proposals for health policy and NHS structures.
Business and Trade Committee: China and the UK economy
The Business and Trade Committee will hear oral evidence on China's economic relationship with the UK and its implications for British employment rights and competitiveness. The inquiry examines how Chinese trade practices, investment, and competition affect UK businesses, workers, and labour standards across sectors exposed to Chinese imports or supply-chain dependencies.
Second Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 (Establishment of Schools) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2026
Parliament's Delegated Legislation Committee will examine technical regulations that update school establishment rules to align with the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026. These consequential amendments adjust how new schools are approved and created under the new legislation, dealing with administrative procedures rather than major policy shifts.
Antisemitism on university campuses
A Westminster Hall debate on antisemitism within UK university campuses. Mark Sewards (Labour, Leeds South West and Morley) is raising concerns about the scale and nature of antisemitic incidents affecting Jewish students in higher education institutions. The debate will examine the causes, institutional responses, and what action central government and universities should take to protect Jewish students and create safer campus environments.
Third Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Supply of Machinery (Safety) (Amendment etc.) and the EU Machinery Regulation (Enforcement etc. in Northern Ireland) Regulations 2026
Parliament will scrutinise two sets of regulations governing machinery safety standards in the UK and Northern Ireland. The regulations update domestic safety rules and establish how EU machinery standards will be enforced in Northern Ireland post-Brexit, replacing direct EU oversight with a new enforcement framework that affects manufacturers and importers of machinery.
Future of high streets
A Westminster Hall debate on the future of high streets, sponsored by DUP MP Gregory Campbell. The debate will examine the challenges facing town centres and high street retail, likely covering issues such as the decline of physical retail, the rise of online shopping, vacancy rates, business support, and strategies to revitalise shopping areas and maintain their role as community hubs.
Backbench Business Committee: Proposals for backbench debates
The Backbench Business Committee is gathering oral evidence on proposals for how backbench debates should be scheduled and conducted. This is a procedural review of the committee's own remit and working methods, examining how non-frontbench MPs can best use Commons time to raise issues of their choosing. The outcome will shape which topics backbenchers can debate and how often.
Financial inclusion for young people
A Westminster Hall debate on financial inclusion for young people, sponsored by Josh Dean (Labour MP for Hertford and Stortford). The debate will examine barriers preventing young adults from accessing banking, credit, savings products, and financial services, and explore policy measures to improve their economic participation and resilience.
Fifth Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Town and Country Planning (Discharge of Local Planning Authority Functions) (England) Regulations 2026
This committee debate examines draft regulations that would allow local planning authorities in England to delegate certain planning functions to other bodies or individuals. The regulations clarify which planning decisions can be handed off and under what conditions, affecting how councils manage development control and planning applications across their areas.
Fourth Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (Directions to OFCOM) (Revocation) Order 2026
Parliament is debating whether to revoke a set of directions that the government previously issued to Ofcom under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006. The committee will examine whether these directions are still needed or if they should be cancelled. This is a routine piece of delegated legislation—rules made under existing law rather than a new bill—that fine-tunes how the telecoms regulator operates.
Domestic abuse and public life
An adjournment debate on domestic abuse and its intersection with public life, sponsored by Labour MP Apsana Begum. The debate will examine how domestic abuse affects individuals in public-facing roles—such as elected representatives, activists, and community leaders—and explore barriers to reporting, support systems, and protective measures for those experiencing abuse while in the public eye.
Child savings accounts (mental capacity and disability)
A Ten Minute Rule Motion to explore child savings accounts for young people with mental capacity issues or disabilities. The motion seeks to establish whether dedicated savings products could help vulnerable children and young adults build financial security and independence, particularly by addressing gaps in existing financial planning for those who may struggle to manage money independently.
Estimates day (second allotted day). Department for Culture, Media and Sport (subject for debate: spending of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on sport and youth services) Department of Health and Social Care (subject for debate: spending of the Department of Health and Social Care on pharmaceutical procurement) Department for Work and Pensions (subject for debate: spending priorities and performance of the Department for Work and Pensions)
Parliament will debate the spending plans and performance of three major departments across two separate sessions. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport will defend its budget allocation to sport and youth services; the Department of Health and Social Care will explain its pharmaceutical procurement spending; and the Department for Work and Pensions will justify its overall spending priorities and performance record. Estimates days allow MPs to scrutinise departmental budgets and hold ministers accountable for how public money is being used.
Main Estimates 2026-27
Parliament will debate and vote on the government's Main Estimates for the 2026-27 financial year. These documents detail how much money each government department plans to spend in the coming year and form the basis of parliamentary scrutiny of departmental budgets. Estimates Day is a key fiscal event where MPs can challenge departmental spending plans and the Treasury's allocation of resources.
