What assessment his Department has made of the effect of Pramipexole on people living with Parkinson's.

Pramipexole is one of a range of medicines that help manage the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for ensuring that medicines and healthcare products meet appropriate standards of safety, quality, and effectiveness, and are supported by detailed product information, via the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) and the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). Both the PIL and the SmPC are designed to support safe use of the medicine by providing essential information for patients, and more detailed prescribing guidance for healthcare professionals via the SmPC. Any changes to these documents must be reviewed and approved by the MHRA.The MHRA continuously reviews the safety information for all licensed medicines, including pramipexole, to ensure that warnings and side-effects listed in the product information accurately reflect the available data. No effective medicine is completely free of risk and regulatory decisions on risks and benefits of a medicine are based on data from a number of different sources including the Yellow Card Scheme, scientific literature, pharmaceutical companies, and worldwide regulatory authorities, with regulatory action taken promptly as and when necessary.The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is responsible for producing useful and usable guidance for the National Health Service and wider health and care system. The NICE guideline NG71 covers diagnosing and managing Parkinson's disease in people aged 18 years old and over. It aims to improve care from the time of diagnosis, including monitoring and managing symptoms, providing information and support, and palliative care. This guidance is available at the following link:https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng71/chapter/Recommendations

Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions she has had with her ASEAN counterparts on the incarceration of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

On 1 February, the Foreign Secretary called for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all those arbitrarily detained in Myanmar, and we followed this up in March, by co-sponsoring a UN Human Rights Council Resolution calling for the immediate and unconditional release of all those arbitrarily detained. Previously, in October 2025, our Head of Mission in Yangon encouraged the Myanmar military regime to grant access to Aung San Suu Kyi's family, and reiterated our calls for her release.

Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the potential implications for her Department’s policies of the (a) humanitarian and (b) political situation in Myanmar.

I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 16 April in response to Question 124592.

Ministers regularly engage with colleagues across government, local government partners, and relevant stakeholders on a range of issues relating to the condition, management and performance of the transport network, including its wider social and economic impacts. The Department recognises that maintaining a safe and reliable local road network is important for all road users, including emergency services. Local highway authorities have a statutory duty to maintain their networks and are best placed to manage local issues, including those affecting response times. The Government is providing a record £7.3 billion of funding for local highway maintenance between 2026‑27 and 2029‑30, giving authorities greater funding certainty to enable them to move away from reactive repairs and invest in preventative maintenance to support safer, more dependable journeys.

What steps she is taking to improve the condition of the school estate in (a) Newcastle-under-Lyme and (b) Staffordshire.

The Education Estates Strategy outlines plans for an education estate that supports opportunity for all, backed by a 10‑year programme to renew and transform schools and colleges. This decade of national renewal is supported by unprecedented long‑term funding and £38 billion in overall education capital from 2025/26 to 2029/30.The government has committed to capital investment through to 2034/35 to improve the condition of schools and colleges across England, investing almost £3 billion per year by 2034/35 in capital maintenance and renewal. This is in addition to continued investment in the School Rebuilding Programme, expanding across a further 250 schools to be selected.The Condition Data Collection 1 programme from 2017 to 2019 showed significant variation in the condition of the estate across the country. Updated information provided by schools on the condition of their estate is being collected through the department’s 5-year Condition Data Collection 2, which will complete in 2026.

Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of bovine tuberculosis on the health and wellbeing of farmers in a) Newcastle-under-Lyme and b) Staffordshire.

Defra provides grant funding to the Farming Community Network (FCN) which offers confidential, non-judgemental support and advice on a whole range of topics, around health, wellbeing and finance. Further details on the FCN can be found online at: www.fcn.org.uk including information about their confidential, national helpline. The TB Advisory Service (www.tbas.org.uk) is a Defra funded initiative that provides free, bespoke advice to keepers of cattle and farmed non-bovine animals in England on measures that can be taken to reduce the risk and impact of bovine TB. TBAS provides this advice and delivers this support through on-farm advice visits, one-to-one advisory sessions and a telephone helpline.
