The COP President meets with the COP27 President, Minister Shoukry, on a regular basis to discuss a range of issues from negotiations outcomes to energy security and demand, including the climate impact of oil and gas.
Energy security has had a raised profile this year due to Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. We continue to discuss with our counterparts what is required domestically to meet both global energy demand and climate commitments.
The UK is a world leader in renewable energy, particularly offshore wind which is set to increase by 50GW of offshore wind power by 2030. This expansion is part of our British Energy Security Strategy, which sets out how the UK will become more self-sufficient and move away from our reliance on oil and gas imports.

COP26 President (Cabinet Office)
At COP26, Parties recognised loss and damage is already impacting lives and livelihoods and agreed to scale-up support. The Glasgow Dialogue was established to discuss the arrangements for the funding of activities to avert, minimise and address loss and damage.
In June 2022, at the Bonn Intersessional meeting, the Glasgow Dialogue on loss and damage was launched to discuss the funding arrangements for addressing loss and damage. There will be further dialogues taking place every year to 2024, though these are not formal negotiations.This will continue to be a critical forum to discuss practical ways finance can be scaled up and effectively delivered. I regularly discuss Loss and Damage with international counterparts, including non-governmental organisations and the private sector.
The UK is committed to deliver on the Glasgow Climate Pact working with Parties and Civil Society organisations to advance progress through the Glasgow Dialogue and operationalising the Santiago Network.

The pay review bodies are listed in the Schedule to the Public Appointments Order in Council. Appointments to these bodies are therefore regulated under the Order in Council and should be made in accordance with the Governance Code on Public Appointments published by the Cabinet Office. This process is regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments, who may also conduct thematic reviews on elements of the process to help inform best practice. Further to my previous answer, I have not discussed with the Commissioner the reform of the public appointments process with regard to public sector pay review bodies. The other issues raised in the question fall outside of the Commissioner’s remit as set out in the Order in Council and the Governance Code.
Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
As set out in the debate held on Thursday 22nd June, the Government intends to respond to Sir Brian’s recommendations following the publication of the Inquiry’s final report in the autumn. This does not preclude the possibility of making earlier announcements on these matters, and I am committed to updating the House as appropriate as the Government progresses this work.

Ministerial travel is undertaken using efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements.
As a whole, domestic flights within the United Kingdom allow Ministers to visit more parts of the United Kingdom in the time available, particularly areas further away from London, and reduce the need for overnight accommodation for Ministers and accompanying staff. Security considerations are also taken into account.
All flights are carbon offset.
Details of departmental business travel are published in the Cabinet Office audited annual report and accounts, including departmental figures on emissions for domestic and international flights.
It has been the practice of successive Administrations not to publish granular information relating to the official movements of protected individuals and those accompanying them within the United Kingdom.

Pay arrangements for civil servants below the Senior Civil Service is delegated to departments as separate employers. This has been the case since 1996. The delegated pay system allows departments to be able to put in place pay and reward arrangements tailored to their own business needs. Ultimately it is for departments to decide on their pay award and how it is structured in light of their own affordability and priorities, and to negotiate with their trade unions. There are no plans for an independent review body for Civil Service pay.
The Membership criteria and its appointment process is set out in the Governance Code on Public Appointments. The Code states that the panel should include a departmental official and an independent member. For competitions recruiting non-executive, non-chair members of a board, the panel should also include a representative from the public body concerned.
The job description and specific criteria for individual public appointment roles are provided as part of the application process and published on the public appointments website. Membership of public sector pay review bodies is published by sponsor departments on Gov.uk. The current membership of individual public sector review bodies are published by their sponsor departments on each of the review body’s Gov.uk websites.

The appointments process for all public appointments covered by the Public Appointments Order in Council was reviewed in 2016, and led to the publication of the current Governance Code on Public Appointments. The implementation of this process, in accordance with the principles set out in the Code, is regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments, who may also conduct thematic reviews on elements of the process to help inform best practice. I have not discussed with the Commissioner the reform of the public appointments process with regard to public sector review bodies.

Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
The Government awards contracts on the basis of the best value for money for the taxpayer.
Government departments, as Contracting Authorities, are responsible for setting out the terms and conditions of the contracts they enter into with suppliers, and for those suppliers to establish the pay, terms and conditions for their employees.
We insist that employers pay at least the National Minimum Wage, or the National Living Wage for workers over 25. Departments can already require suppliers to pay above these rates, such as the London Living Wage, where it is relevant and proportionate to do so. This is also the case for requiring suppliers to pay above the statutory requirement for sick pay.
Given that planning is still underway and no decisions have yet been made, as well as the sensitivities involved, it would not be appropriate to share departmental scenario planning. We are committed to a robust process of scrutiny and challenge in the months ahead, including focusing on impacts on public services, and will engage more broadly at the appropriate time.

Pay below the Senior Civil Service is delegated to departments. It is for departments to decide on their pay award and how it is structured in light of their own affordability and priorities including considering any recruitment and retention challenges, and to negotiate with their trade unions. The impact on recruitment and retention should be considered by departments when determining their pay award. The pay remit guidance is a cost control document and allows departments to seek further flexibility for a pay award above the headline award, as demonstrated by recent pay deals in Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and the Ministry of Justice.
This year’s pay remit guidance is framed by the commitment of this Government to deliver on its extensive agenda that will require reform of the capacity and capability of the Civil Service. It is important that public sector pay awards are affordable, as well as fair to both staff and the taxpayer.
The pay remit guidance considers economic conditions while balancing the need for sustainable public finances. The government will continue to prioritise the lowest paid, and has accepted the Low Pay Commission’s recommendations to increase the National Living Wage by 6.6% to £9.50 per hour from April 2022.
The Cabinet Office publishes summary figures on salaries across the Civil Service as part of the Civil Service Statistics publications. Median salaries by grade and department since 2010 can be found in Table 25 of this publication:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/civil-service-statistics.
The Cabinet Office does not hold complete data on the delegated pay structures across all Departments, such as ‘spine points’. These have previously been part of the Civil Service pay framework, but are no longer a feature of the pay system for most Civil Service organisations.

The private sector has played a vital role in the government’s response to the covid-19 outbreak. Being able to procure at speed has been critical in providing the government's response, however we have been clear that all contracts, including those designed to tackle coronavirus issues, must continue to offer quality public services and achieve value for money for taxpayers.
Details of central government contracts above £10,000 are published on Contracts Finder: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search
The Government has rigorous controls in place to challenge spend robustly and ensure that the actions of central government contracting authorities are open, fair and transparent.

Further to the Written Ministerial Statement HCWS174 which I laid on 19 March 2020, The Government has confirmed local, mayoral and Police and Crime Commissioner elections that were due to take place in May this year will be postponed until May 2021.
The decision was taken following advice from the Government’s medical experts in relation to the response to the Covid-19 virus and the advice of those delivering elections.
The Government has no plans to introduce a statutory right for disability support leave for disabled employees.
All employers already have a duty to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ in the workplace where a disabled person would otherwise be put at a substantial disadvantage compared with their colleagues. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Equality Act and providing guidance on reasonable adjustments.
For disabled people who require adjustments which are beyond reasonable adjustments, Access to Work (AtW) can provide a grant for the disability related extra costs of working a disabled employee may face. To support employers an AtW case manager will contact the customer’s employer ahead of making an AtW award to offer advice on reasonable adjustments an employer can provide and the support available under the AtW scheme.
Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
Legislation is in place, under the Electricity Act 1989 and the Gas Act 1986, which requires all meters used for billing purposes to be approved. This includes sub meters used for secondary billing, such as in a landlord-tenant situation. This means that the government has already ensured that where landlords intend to bill their tenants, approved meters must be used.
Meters in use will have been required to demonstrate compliance with the UK Measuring Instruments Regulations 2016 which implement the relevant requirements of the European Measuring Instruments Directive, or earlier GB national legislation if their installation pre-dates that legislation.

HM Government publishes data on export licensing decisions on a quarterly basis in the Official Statistics on GOV.UK, including data on outcome, end user destination, overall value, type (e.g. Military, Other) and a summary of the items covered by these licences. This data also specifies whether the goods covered by a particular licence are for ultimate use by the destination country or whether the goods are due to be incorporated into another product for use by a third-party destination (ie incorporation licences).
This data is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data.
The most recent publication was on 30th August 2023, and covered the period 1st January – 31st March 2023. Information covering 1st April – 30th June 2023 will be published on 16th January 2024.
The government continues to monitor closely the situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. We will not issue an export licence to any destination where to do so would be inconsistent with the Criteria.
Licences are kept under careful and continual review as standard and we are able to amend, suspend or revoke extant licences, or refuse new licence applications, as circumstances require.
In the event such decisions were taken, for any licences, we would issue a Notification to Exporters.
The UK Government has held discussions with the Scottish Government on the impact of measures to control firework sale and use under the Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles (Scotland) Act 2022 and we continue to engage with them on this matter.
Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
The Government is committed to introducing Neonatal Care Leave and Pay as soon as possible. Once in place, up to 12 weeks of paid leave will be available to all eligible parents of babies who are admitted into neonatal care.
The Government encourages employers to respond with compassion and understanding to any employee who is dealing with the challenge of having a child in neonatal care. It will be up to individual employers to consider whether they can offer leave or pay to their employees before the Act comes into force.
Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has not yet assessed the potential impact of the Ofgem price cap increase on the number of fuel poor households. Updated fuel poverty estimates for England will be published in February.
The price cap announcement means prices will be lower than at the start of 2023.
The Government continues to provide targeted financial support to vulnerable households through the Cost of Living Payments, Warm Home Discount, Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment.
Multiple targeted energy efficiency schemes remain in place to deliver measures to fuel poor households including the Energy Company Obligation.
The Government frequently assesses the merits of energy cost support policies and the impacts various policy ideas would have on the most vulnerable households.
Energy prices have significantly fallen in the past year alone and the Q1 2024 price cap of £1,928 has more than halved compared to the previous year when the Q1 2023 price cap peaked at £4,279.
The Government also recognises the challenges posed by cost-of-living pressures, including the impact of energy bills, and is already providing extensive financial support to households. This includes a package of support to assist households and individuals with rising costs of living that will total over £104 billion, or £3,700 per household on average, over 2022-2025. Millions of vulnerable households will receive up to £900 in further Cost of Living Payments.
These payments are in addition to established financial support which is available for low income and vulnerable households this winter through the Winter Fuel Payment worth between £250 - £600 and the Cold Weather Payment providing £25 during very cold weather. The Government continues to provide support through the Warm Home Discount, which provides low-income and vulnerable households with an annual £150 rebate off their energy bill every winter.

This includes a package of support to assist households and individuals with rising costs of living that will total over £104 billion, or £3,700 per household on average, over 2022-2025.
As cost-of-living pressures decrease, the Government is continuing to support those most in need as prices come down. The Government is providing £900 of cost-of-living payments throughout 2023/24 to help vulnerable households, and this is an increase on the £650 provided the previous year.
The ombudsman services are an independent body that provides a free service for energy consumers who are not able to reach a settlement about a dispute with their regulated energy provider. Although the Department has close links to the Energy Ombudsman, we do not directly regulate them or hold the data in question.
