Electricity: Infrastructure
Asked by: Angus MacDonald (Liberal Democrat - Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire) Tuesday 18th February 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether guidance on community benefit funds for electricity transmission infrastructure will include transmission projects where (a) voltage and (b) capacity upgrades are required resulting in additional impacts on local communities. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Government is committed to ensuring that communities who live near clean energy infrastructure can see the benefits. This includes publishing guidance on community funds this quarter, which will set out government’s expectations for communities living near to electricity transmission network infrastructure.
The guidance aims to balance the need for consistency without being overly prescriptive and unintentionally omitting projects or infrastructure where communities should be entitled to benefits.
We aim to publish this guidance in due course. |

Fuel Poverty: Scotland
Asked by: Angus MacDonald (Liberal Democrat - Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire) Wednesday 5th March 2025 Question to the Scotland Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of the recent increase in the energy price cap on fuel poverty in Scotland. Answered by Kirsty McNeill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office) The Government is taking steps to protect consumers by consulting on an expansion to the Warm Homes Discount. This proposal will help an additional 200,000 households in Scotland with £150 off their energy bills. However, the way to bring down bills for good is to deliver our mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower - with GB energy, based in Aberdeen, playing a key role in this. |

Personal Independence Payment: British Nationals Abroad
Asked by: Angus MacDonald (Liberal Democrat - Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire) Thursday 6th March 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending the eligibility criteria for Personal Independence Payments to include people who have been forced to move abroad due to life-threatening medical conditions. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can continue to be paid during an absence from Great Britain for 13 weeks. This can be increased to 26 weeks where the absence is specifically in relation to medical treatment of the condition which existed prior to a temporary absence. We have no plans to change these rules. Where someone moves permanently to a European Economic Area country or Switzerland, for customers in scope of the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) the export of the daily living component of PIP can exceed the temporary absence rules. The length of time PIP can be exported for depends on their individual circumstances. Further information on receiving benefits abroad and the WA are available on Gov.UK: Moving or retiring abroad - GOV.UK. |
