The Government is committed to ensuring energy bills are affordable for all consumers – that’s why we are running to deliver our clean power by 2030 mission. And whilst we make this transition, we will do everything we can to support households we know are finding it tough.

We will continue to deliver the Warm Home Discount which provides a £150 rebate off energy bills to 3.3 million eligible low-income households.

Since 2022, UKRI has awarded over £3 million to MND projects led by Scottish research organisations.

We will continue to work closely with the Department of Health and Social Care to support research into this terrible disease.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with his counterparts in the devolved administrations on co-operation on research funding for motor neurone disease.

The Department funds research into motor neurone disease (MND) via the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). Government funding for MND research includes programmes that are working collaboratively across the United Kingdom. For example, an £8 million investment into the EXPErimental medicine Route To Success in ALS (EXPERTS-ALS) by the NIHR. EXPERTS-ALS is an early phase clinical research trial which screens for drugs that have the potential to be successful in clinical trials for people with MND. Government funders have also invested £12.5 million to support the best discovery science at the UK Dementia Research Institute. Working with LifeArc, the MND Association, MND Scotland, and the My Name5s Doddie foundation, Government funders have also contributed £1.1 million to the £4.6 million MND Collaborative Partnership. Department research leads meet regularly with their counterparts in the devolved administrations to discuss research matters of common interest across the UK.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Spending Review 2025 on Scotland.

This Government has ensured the Spending Review delivers for Scotland. The Scottish Government is receiving an average of £50.9 billion per each year between 2026-27 and 2028-29, the largest real terms funding settlement since devolution. It also delivers on the Government’s Plan for Change in Scotland, with measures including providing development funding to advance the delivery of the Acorn carbon capture and storage project.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much funding the Scottish Government (a) has received and (b) is forecast to receive in additional Barnett Formula consequential funding as a result of income raised via the Residential Property Developer Tax.

The Residential Property Developer Tax is a UK-wide tax. UK-wide tax revenue goes into the UK Consolidated Fund.

The Barnett formula then applies to changes in UK Government departmental budgets.

The Scottish Government receives around 25% more funding per person than equivalent UK Government spending in other parts of the UK. That translates to £8.5 billion more per year on average for the Scottish Government.
