Health Bill: Further to consider the Bill
The Commons is reconvening in General Committee to continue detailed line-by-line scrutiny of the Health Bill. This stage allows MPs to propose amendments to specific clauses and debate the legislative text in depth before the bill returns to the full chamber. The session will focus on outstanding provisions not yet agreed in committee.
UK aid policy in the context of global funding trends
David Mundell is raising concerns about UK aid spending in relation to broader international funding trends. This Westminster Hall debate will examine whether current aid policy aligns with global economic conditions and competing domestic priorities, particularly given cost-of-living pressures at home.
Energy Security and Net Zero (including Topical Questions)
MPs will question the Energy Security and Net Zero department on its current priorities and performance. This is a routine opportunity for backbenchers and opposition parties to interrogate government policy on electricity supply, renewable energy targets, decarbonisation, and the costs and benefits of the net-zero transition. Topical questions allow members to raise urgent or contemporary issues without advance notice.
Health Bill: Further to consider the Bill
The Commons is resuming consideration of the Health Bill in General Committee. This is the stage where MPs examine the bill clause-by-clause, table amendments, and scrutinise the government's proposals for NHS and health service reform. The specific clauses under debate on 7 July 2026 are not detailed here, but General Committee is where the detailed legislative work happens before the bill returns to the full Commons.
Outdoor education
Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat, North Cornwall) will use a Ten Minute Rule Motion to raise concerns about the availability and accessibility of medical services in rural areas. This procedural device allows him to speak for ten minutes and invite other MPs to support a motion, though it does not lead directly to legislation. The motion highlights gaps in healthcare provision outside urban centres, where GP surgeries, hospital services, and emergency care are often stretched or distant.
