Decisions on the deployment of police officers and resourcing are matters for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, who are best placed to determine how to respond to local need, including in rural communities. The Government’s Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee has delivered named, contactable officers in every neighbourhood (including rural neighbourhoods) who are dedicated to addressing local issues. More than 3,000 additional neighbourhood police officers and PCSOs are now in neighbourhood policing roles across England and Wales, strengthening visible policing.
In relation to rural crime, the Government is supporting action against rural crime, including through tougher measures to tackle equipment theft and by providing funding to specialist units such as the National Rural Crime Unit and National Wildlife Crime Unit, supporting policing in disrupting serious and organised crime groups, which pose unique challenges for policing in large and isolated rural areas.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support is provided to recruit and retain staff in coastal and rural health economies such as Torbay and South Devon.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support is provided to recruit and retain staff in coastal and rural health economies such as Torbay and South Devon.
Decisions about recruitment are a matter for individual National Health Service employers, who manage this at a local level to ensure they have the staff they need to deliver safe and effective care.
As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, the Government is committed to making the NHS the best place to work, by supporting and retaining our hardworking and dedicated healthcare professionals.
The Government is committed to publishing a 10 Year Workforce Plan to set out action to create a workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan. The 10 Year Workforce Plan will ensure the NHS has the right people in the right places, with the right skills to care for patients, when they need it.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to help increase the number of youth workers in rural areas.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to help increase the number of youth workers in rural areas.
As announced in the National Youth Strategy, we are investing £15 million over the next 3 years in youth workers, volunteers, and other trusted adults to upskill the existing youth sector workforce and increase the number of trusted adults, including youth workers, providing safe support to young people. This will provide funding to youth organisations to help them get and keep the staff and volunteers they need, covering training and qualification bursaries, volunteer support, safeguarding, and new ways to help adults navigate the benefits and challenges of the digital world for young people.
Further work is underway to develop detailed plans for our future workforce funding, in partnership with the youth sector and with young people. This includes consideration of how to ensure young people in underserved communities have access to the support they need.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to help support recruitment and retention of early years staff in rural areas, including consideration of travel costs, wage supplements, and shared staffing models.

The Best Start in Life strategy lays the foundation for long-term improvements to recruitment and retention in early years. The department is building a stronger, more skilled workforce to meet rising demand through new routes into the workforce, targeted recruitment campaigns and operational flexibilities for childminders.
We are championing early years teachers, with plans to more than double the number of training places on Early Years Initial Teacher Training by 2028, a new degree apprenticeship route with financial support to deliver this, and financial incentive to attract and keep early years teachers in nurseries serving the most disadvantaged communities.
In 2026/27, we expect to provide over £9.5 billion, more than doubling the government’s commitment to funded childcare since 2023/24 and reflecting above inflation increase to funding rates and National Living Wage increases. To go further, we will review early years funding, including the national funding formulae, and consult the sector on changes by summer 2026.

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. Does she agree that individuals such as Sasi in Croxley Green and Usman in Maple Cross are not just sub-postmasters but community champions, and that, like the village pub, they remain a critical asset in our communities?

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to help tackle (a) violence and (b) verbal abuse towards public transport workers in (i) Lincolnshire and (ii) other rural areas.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to help tackle (a) violence and (b) verbal abuse towards public transport workers in (i) Lincolnshire and (ii) other rural areas.
The Department for Transport works with the transport industry to ensure that public transport is a safe environment for staff and passengers. Ensuring that staff feel safe at work is a priority.
Following the horrific attack on the 18:25 LNER Doncaster to London service at Huntingdon on the 1st November, my Department are working with British Transport Police (BTP) and the rail industry to understand if any immediate interventions are required. The heroic efforts of rail staff meant that further harm was avoided and undoubtedly saved lives.
Prior to the incident, this government introduced the Bus Services (no.2) Act which mandates training for staff working in the bus industry, including drivers and those who deal directly with the travelling public, on how to recognise and respond to incidents of crime and anti-social behaviour on public transport. This training will require a person to take steps to prevent crime or anti-social behaviour only where it is safe to do so. This will apply to all bus operators including those operating in Lincolnshire and servicing rural areas.
BTP are responsible for policing the railway, and they deploy their officers across the network, including in Lincolnshire and rural areas, based on intelligence led briefings with daily taskings to provide reassurance to the public. They work closely with rail operators that serve those areas to conduct joint operations and have regular engagement with staff and safeguarding and security managers. In Lincoln, BTP maintains a local presence supported by officers from Nottingham to provide 24-hour response cover.
BTP’s approach to rail staff assaults is intelligence led, focusing resources on areas and individuals identified through crime data and repeat offending patterns. Where repeat offenders are identified, BTP actively manages them through targeted patrol plans and, where appropriate, applications for Criminal Behaviour Orders to prevent further offences.
BTP also work closely with Train Operating Companies to improve incident reporting, ensuring that all forms of abuse or threatening behaviour are recorded, strengthening intelligence and enabling more effective operational planning. In addition to this, BTP promotes the use of body worn video and engage directly with staff and safeguarding managers to encourage reporting and supporting prosecutions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of hospital parking costs on (a) recruitment and (b) retention of NHS staff who commute long distances in (a) North Cornwall constituency and (b) other rural areas.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of hospital parking costs on (a) recruitment and (b) retention of NHS staff who commute long distances in (a) North Cornwall constituency and (b) other rural areas.
Decisions on the provision of car parking are made locally by National Health Service organisations, including considering how they affect local recruitment and the retention of their staff. These decisions will need to reflect the local geography and environment, including travel distances.
All NHS staff, regardless of their type of employment, are expected to be similarly treated by their employing NHS organisation. This includes where free parking is provided to staff working nights shifts.
All NHS trusts are expected to follow the published NHS Car Parking Guidance. This states that car parking charges, where they exist, should be reasonable for the local area. Further information is available at the following link:
