Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Opher and Lindsay Hoyle

Tuesday 4th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Dr Opher]

I am proud that the Government have invested £250 million in putting solar panels on schools and hospitals. In Stroud, we have a programme whereby, through community energy funding, we will put solar panels on every school in the area. I was going to ask the Chancellor about Treasury rules that were blocking that, but I heard from her answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Congleton (Sarah Russell) that that may no longer be the case. Will she confirm that that block has been removed?

[Mr Speaker]

Order. We are on topicals, so I need speedy questions.
