Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to strengthen domestic supply chains for net zero industries and ensure that UK businesses remain competitive and resilient in the face of global market pressures.

Taking action to ensure that our clean energy supply chains are resilient is a key priority as we deliver on our Growth and Clean Energy Superpower Missions.

The Trade Strategy sets out international and domestic trade levers, frameworks and trading relationships to drive growth. The Trade Strategy will support the Clean Energy Superpower Mission by bolstering supply chain resilience and ensuring we have access to the materials we need.

Our Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan announced a new £1 billion Great British Energy supply chain fund, which will catalyse investment into domestic supply chains; supported by a comprehensive offer from the National Wealth Fund, British Business Bank, and UK Export Finance.
