Health Bill: To consider the Bill
The Commons General Committee will scrutinise the Health Bill in detail, examining its clauses and amendments. This is the committee stage of the bill, where MPs debate specific provisions line-by-line before it returns to the floor for final approval. The bill will reshape NHS structure, service delivery, or funding—though the exact scope is not specified in this notice.
Education Committee: Children and Young People's Mental Health
The Education Committee will take oral evidence on children and young people's mental health. The session will examine the state of mental health provision in schools and youth services, likely focusing on prevalence of mental ill-health, access to support, funding gaps, and the role of educational settings in prevention and early intervention.
Culture, Media and Sport Committee: BBC Royal Charter Review

The Royal Charter sets out the BBC's mission, governance, and funding framework; it is renewed periodically and determines the corporation's operating principles for the next decade. This session will examine how the BBC should be funded, governed, and structured as it faces pressure from streaming competition, demographic shifts, and debate over its impartiality and value for money.
Community hospitals
This Westminster Hall debate examines the role and future of community hospitals in the NHS. Sponsored by Dr Roz Savage (Liberal Democrat), the discussion will explore how these smaller, locally-based facilities fit into the health service's structure, their operational challenges, and their importance to rural and underserved communities.
Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee: Pre-appointment hearing: The Chair of the Local Audit Office
Parliament's Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee will conduct a pre-appointment hearing to scrutinise the candidate for Chair of the Local Audit Office. The hearing tests whether the chosen appointee has the skills, independence, and judgment to lead the body responsible for ensuring proper use of public money by councils and other local public bodies.
Treasury Committee: The OBR: 15 years on
The Treasury Committee will hold oral evidence sessions examining the Office for Budget Responsibility's performance and role 15 years after its establishment. The OBR is the independent body that forecasts the public finances and assesses the sustainability of government policy; this inquiry will review how well it has operated, whether its methods remain fit for purpose, and how effectively it holds the government to account on fiscal decisions.
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 conducting an inquiry into the recommendations made by the Infected Blood Inquiry, a public inquiry that examined how thousands of people contracted HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood transfusions and blood products in the 1970s and 1980s. The committee will take oral evidence as it assesses what the government has done—and should do—to implement the inquiry's findings, which relate to compensation, systemic accountability, and NHS governance.
Administration Committee: General Election Planning
The Administration Committee, a select committee responsible for scrutinising the internal management and operations of the House of Commons, is holding a private meeting.

Funding for road maintenance in Nottinghamshire

Health and Social Care Committee: Federated Data Platform
The Health and Social Care Committee will take oral evidence on the Federated Data Platform, a proposed system to link health and social care data across different NHS trusts and local authorities. The platform aims to enable better data sharing and analytics without centralising sensitive patient information in a single location. The session will examine how the system works, its governance, and whether it can deliver improved care coordination while protecting privacy.
Justice Committee: Rehabilitation and resettlement: ending the cycle of reoffending
The Justice Committee is gathering oral evidence on how to break the cycle of reoffending through better rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners. The inquiry examines what support helps released offenders reintegrate into work and housing, and what systemic changes could reduce the proportion who return to crime.
Home Affairs Committee: The impact of serious and organised crime on local neighbourhoods
The Home Affairs Committee is holding an oral evidence session to investigate how serious and organised crime affects local neighbourhoods. The inquiry will examine the scale of the problem, how criminal networks operate at street level, and what impact they have on residents' safety and community cohesion. The evidence session feeds into the committee's wider scrutiny of whether the police and local authorities are responding effectively.
Health Bill: Further to consider the Bill
The Commons General Committee will continue detailed examination of the Health Bill. This stage involves clause-by-clause scrutiny where MPs can propose amendments and quiz ministers on the bill's provisions. The committee will work through remaining sections of the legislation to refine its terms before it returns to the full House.
Business and Trade Committee: Artificial Intelligence, business and the future of the workforce
A private meeting of the Business and Trade Committee. The committee scrutinises the government's trade policy, business regulation, and competitiveness strategy.

Second Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Digital Waste Tracking (England) Regulations 2026
Parliament will scrutinise draft regulations establishing a digital tracking system for waste across England. The regulations set technical standards and operational rules for businesses to record and monitor waste movements through a digital platform, replacing or supplementing paper-based waste documentation. The committee will examine whether the scheme strikes the right balance between environmental accountability and compliance burdens on waste producers, handlers, and recyclers.
Impact of the University of the Air White Paper on lifelong learning opportunities
This Westminster Hall debate examines the government's University of the Air White Paper and its implications for lifelong learning. The discussion will focus on how the policy expands access to education and skills training for adults across the UK, particularly those seeking to retrain or upskill outside traditional university routes.
Government support for West Midlands Police
Ayoub Khan, the Independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, will use a Westminster Hall debate to raise concerns about government support for West Midlands Police. The debate provides an opportunity to scrutinise funding, resources, and policy priorities affecting the force, which serves over 2.8 million people across the region.
Backbench Business Committee: Proposals for backbench debates
The Backbench Business Committee is receiving oral evidence on proposals for how to structure and allocate time for backbench-led debates in the House of Commons. This is a procedural and governance matter that determines which topics backbench MPs can raise and debate when, affecting parliamentary scrutiny and the voice of non-frontbench members.
Access to dental services in West Sussex
Jess Brown-Fuller (Liberal Democrat, Chichester) has secured a Westminster Hall debate on access to dental services in West Sussex. The debate will air concerns about availability and accessibility of NHS dentistry in the region, likely focusing on patient waiting times, dentist shortages, and gaps in service provision that constituents face.
Third Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Immigration (Leave to Enter and Remain) (Amendment) Order 2026
Parliament will scrutinise a delegated legislation order amending immigration rules on leave to enter and remain in the UK. This is a technical instrument that modifies existing immigration law without requiring a full bill; the committee will examine whether the changes are appropriate and proportionate before the order takes effect.
Fourth Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Pensions (Abolition of Lifetime Allowance Charge etc) Regulations 2026
This delegated legislation committee will scrutinise draft regulations that abolish the lifetime allowance charge on pensions from 2026. The lifetime allowance was a cap on total pension savings that triggered a tax charge if exceeded; abolishing it removes this tax penalty and simplifies the pensions system. The committee will examine whether the regulations correctly implement the policy and whether they create any unintended consequences for pension savers and administrators.
Discharge of Isle of Wight dementia patients to mainland care homes
An adjournment debate in which Labour MP Richard Quigley raises concerns about the discharge of dementia patients from Isle of Wight services to mainland care homes. The debate will examine whether patients are being moved off-island due to lack of local capacity or funding, and what safeguards exist to protect vulnerable people during such transfers.
Delegated Legislation (Social Security)
This motion concerns delegated legislation in the social security domain. Delegated legislation allows ministers to make changes to rules and regulations without full parliamentary debate, provided they fall within powers granted by parent acts. This item will determine what secondary legislation on social security benefits, eligibility, or administration can proceed without detailed Commons scrutiny.
Remaining stages of the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
Parliament will complete the remaining parliamentary stages of the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill, which updates the UK's rules for protecting critical digital infrastructure from cyber attacks. The bill modernises how essential services—banks, energy networks, hospitals, and telecoms—must defend against cyber threats and report security incidents, replacing an earlier EU-derived directive with a regime tailored to current risks.
Thames Water
Emma Reynolds will make a ministerial statement on Thames Water, the major water and sewerage company serving London and the South East. The statement will likely address operational issues, environmental performance, investment plans, or governance concerns affecting the company, which faces ongoing scrutiny over leaks, sewage discharges, and financial stability.
