Last week I raised my concerns about this year’s pensions and benefits increase being based on inflation figures from September.
As inflation is now substantially higher than it was in September, I feel a more appropriate measure would be to use the inflation rate from December.

This is a fair summary of the meeting we had with the EFL earlier. The pressing task is for the administrators to secure the funds to complete the season. We pressed the EFL hard to take a decision on whether the Boro/Wycombe claims were football creditors under EFL rules.
Following today’s meeting with the efl, it’s clear the claims from Middleborough and Wycombe are the major issues. The club has a shortfall of cash to complete the season and that must be met by either a takeover, third party finance or player sales 1/2

Last week I hosted a Westminster Hall debate to explore ways the Government could increase the take up of pensions guidance and advice.
While pensions advice remains completely free through Pension Wise, the number taking up the offer of advice remains disappointingly low.

£15M has been allocated to Derbyshire to deliver more special needs places - this will help improve the accessibility of buildings and provide more specialist support for children with additional needs.
I've seen in my own family how parents of children with special educational needs sometimes feel like they have to fight the system.
I'm determined to put an end to this.
I'm pleased to deliver this investment which I know will have an enormous impact👇
