What steps his Department is taking to improve awareness and understanding of the health impact of fibre among younger adults.

Reply

The Government recommends that adults consume 30 grams of fibre every day and that this should come from a variety of food sources. This is reflected in the United Kingdom’s national food model, the Eatwell Guide, which is a visual representation of Government advice on a healthy, balanced diet, and applies to most people from the age of two years old. The Eatwell Guide shows that we should base our diets on foods which are sources of fibre, for instance vegetables, fruit, and wholegrain or higher fibre starchy carbohydrate foods, as well as beans and pulses. The Eatwell Guide is available at the following link:https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-eatwell-guideThe Eatwell Guide principles are communicated through a variety of channels, including the NHS.UK website and the Department’s social marketing campaigns Better Health, Better Health Families, and Best Start in Life. For example, the NHS.UK website features a page with advice on the health benefits of dietary fibre and how to get more fibre into your diet, with further information available at the following link:https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/digestive-health/how-to-get-more-fibre-into-your-diet/The Department, through the National Institute for Health and Care Research, is funding research into the health effects of diet on children and adults, including the effects of fibre. This includes a study which seeks to understand how the diet of children in the UK influences their health in childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood.

What steps his Department is taking to increase the use of UK-manufactured (a) technologies and (b) components in (i) hydrogen and (ii) fuel cell projects; and what steps his Department is taking to ensure that British firms can capitalise on (A) growth and (B) export opportunities in the hydrogen economy.

Reply

The Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan sets out a clear plan to support the growth of the UK’s manufacturing base for hydrogen technologies including deployment certainty and timelines for future Hydrogen Allocation Rounds; the launch of the first transport and storage allocation round and hydrogen to power business model; establishing the UK’s first regional hydrogen network from 2031; working with projects to deliver events connecting developers and suppliers; and a comprehensive public financial institution offer including the £1bn Great British Energy supply chain fund. UK companies are at the forefront of hydrogen technology advancement and are already exporting their innovative technologies across the globe. We are working hard to ensure UK hydrogen and fuel cell companies continue to capitalise on the opportunities of the clean energy transition and access high value opportunities in international markets. This includes working to remove trade barriers and championing our world-leading hydrogen companies overseas.
