Renewable Energy
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Tuesday 19th November 2024 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans to improve the electricity grid to substation level to support the renewable energy transition. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government’s clean energy superpower and growth missions will be enabled by a significant reinforcement of our electricity network, at all levels across the high voltage transmission and lower-voltage distribution networks.

Children: Maintenance
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Monday 25th November 2024 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 moving Child Maintenance Service payment calculations to a monthly Universal Credit style system. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) Information about the paying parent's gross income is taken directly from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for the latest tax year available. This allows calculations to be made quickly and accurately. Any income subject to income tax, including bonuses and overtime received by an employed paying parent, is included within their gross weekly income when calculating a child maintenance liability.
The Child Maintenance Service is designed to deliver stability by reviewing the liability annually, unless a substantial change in income has occurred. The 25% tolerance for in-year changes ensures liabilities remain consistent, and both parents can factor this into their financial planning, providing ongoing stability for the child. In light of societal changes since it was last evaluated, a review of the calculation is currently ongoing to ensure it is fit for purpose and fair for both parents.

18 Nov 2024
Promoting Wales for inward investment Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 13 Jan 2025) Inward investment, a term often used interchangeably with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), refers to cross-border investment from one country to another and which aims to establish a lasting interest and effective voice in an enterprise. In FDI statistics, an effective voice means owning 10% or more of the equity share capital in an enterprise. The UK ranks among the most successful countries in Europe for attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects and the UK Government has signalled its intention to strengthen the UK’s offer for businesses and investors. However, Wales has struggled to attract the same level of inward investment as other nations and regions in the UK - in 2023 to 2024, it attracted roughly 3.5% of the UK's total FDI projects, less than Scotland (8.35%) and the North East of England (4.48%). This inquiry will look at how ‘Brand Wales’ is promoted internationally to market Wales as a competitive destination for inward investment, and what lessons can be learnt from success stories in the creative industries and sports sectors.

The environmental and economic legacy of Wales' industrial past Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 2 Feb 2025) Wales has a proud industrial heritage based on activities such as coal mining, slate quarrying, copper smelting, steelmaking and manufacturing among others. Today, most of the heavy industries that powered the Welsh economy during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have gone. This inquiry will examine their environmental legacy, the economic impact of their decline, and what it means for Wales as it transitions to the green and digital economies.
