Great British Energy: Parliamentary Scrutiny
(asked on 24th February 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government when they intend to publish Great British Energy’s framework document; and what parliamentary scrutiny the framework document will be subject to.
Answered by
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The creation of the Framework Document is linked to the set-up of Great British Energy (GBE) and the document itself will be published in 2025, following Royal Assent, to ensure it reflects the final form of the legislation.
Regarding progress and parliamentary scrutiny, following the requirements of Managing Public Money, the Framework Document will be agreed between the Secretary of State and GBE itself, as well as HM Treasury and Cabinet Office. It will then be published on both the Department and GBE’s website.
Once published, the relevant select committees will be free to scrutinise GBE’s governance arrangements alongside any other matters they consider appropriate.
