I thank the Minister very much for what he is saying and bringing forward. There is much in the Bill that we should encourage. I know that he is a regular visitor to Northern Ireland, and Northern Ireland is home to 130 cyber-security companies with some 2,750 employees. It is...

That this House notes the April 2025 statement of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN), which recommends that intake of non-sugar sweeteners be minimised across the population and that young children should not be given drinks sweetened with sugar or non-sugar sweeteners; further notes that the NHS Food Scanner app, operated by the Department of Health and Social Care, continues to award its Good Choice badge to products containing non-sugar sweeteners and other ultra-processed ingredients; expresses concern that this may not align with SACN’s guidance and could undermine confidence in public health advice; recognises the importance of supporting families and children to make genuinely healthy food choices; and calls on the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to review the criteria used by the NHS Food Scanner app to ensure it reflects the latest scientific evidence and supports efforts to improve children’s health and wellbeing through better nutrition, clearer food labelling, stronger restrictions on junk food marketing, and effective measures such as extending the Soft Drinks Levy to high-sugar milk and juice drinks and investing in public health initiatives that promote active, healthy lives.

First, I commend the Minister on bringing the measure forward. I do not think there is anybody in this House who would not be encouraged by what the Minister and Government are doing in bringing in the sanctions. The one thing that always concerns everybody—the Minister knows this—is the £22.7...

I thank the Secretary of State for his very positive statement. He referred to long waiters, the second area of work. One oft-neglected area is access to specialist in-patient services for eating disorders. My constituents in Northern Ireland do not have access to a clinic to allow them a choice...

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an estimate of when an artificial intelligence programme for the detection of heart disease will be widely available on the NHS.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an estimate of when an artificial intelligence programme for the detection of heart disease will be widely available on the NHS.
The Artificial Intelligence in Health and Care Award has provided £123 million to 86 artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The Award was created to accelerate the testing and evaluation of some of the most promising AI technologies that can support clinicians in stroke diagnosis, cancer screening and managing conditions at home.
Some of these technologies being tested could support clinicians in diagnosing and treating heart disease. For example, iRhythm's Zio uses AI to help diagnose abnormal or irregular heart rhythms more quickly. Results from this trial are expected to be published in September 2023.
Caristo’s CaRi-Heart uses AI to analyse CT scans to detect inflammation in the heart and predict a patient’s risk from a heart attack. This could help clinicians identify more people with cardiovascular disease and provide preventative treatments sooner. Results from this trial are expected to be published before the end of 2023.
Ultromics’ EchGo uses AI to help analyse images of the heart, which could diagnose heart failure and coronary artery disease earlier and faster. Results from this trial are expected to be published early next year.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people are on the waiting list to be treated with sleepio.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people are on the waiting list to be treated with sleepio.
Sleepio is not an application that is currently provided centrally by the National Health Service and there is no national waiting list. Sleepio may be commissioned by local organisations.

The Minister is always responsive, but does she know whether the fuel relief scheme she referred to applies in Northern Ireland? If it does, how many people there have applied for it? That is really important after what I heard on Saturday at the advice centre. Prawns are at their...

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of regulatory checks on buy now pay later apps including Clearpay and Klarna.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of regulatory checks on buy now pay later apps including Clearpay and Klarna.
Interest-free Buy-Now Pay-Later (BNPL) agreements repayable in under twelve months and in twelve or fewer instalments are currently unregulated. Firms offering these agreements do not currently need to comply with the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Firms which solely offer these agreements do not currently need to be authorised by the FCA.
BNPL is currently subject to some regulation, outlined below, however the Government’s assessment is that this regulation is insufficient to wholly address the potential risks of consumer detriment arising from BNPL products. Therefore, on 2 February 2021 the Government announced its intention to regulate BNPL products in a proportionate manner. The Government published a consultation on policy proposals for the regulation of BNPL on 21 October 2021, which closed on 6 January 2022.
The Government is now reviewing responses to this consultation and considering next steps and intends to publish a consultation response in the spring.
Despite not currently being regulated by the FCA, firms offering BNPL must comply with the rules set out in the UK Advertising Codes, and are also subject to the Consumer Rights Act 2015, concerning the fairness of their contract terms, and the Consumer Protections from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 in relation to unfair commercial practices. Offending firms can be referred to Trading Standards and OFCOM for further action where necessary. The Advertising Standards Authority also published formal guidance about BNPL on 1 December 2020 setting out its expectations on both providers and retailers when offering these services.
In addition, on 14 February 2022 the FCA announced it had secured changes to potentially unfair and unclear terms in the contracts of BNPL firms using its powers under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Some of these firms also agreed voluntarily to refund some customers who were charged late payment fees.
