What assessment he has made of the potential impact of the latest allocation of contracts for off-shore wind electricity generation on domestic energy security.
In the CfD AR7 offshore wind auction, we secured more OFW capacity than any offshore wind CfD round to date, with 8.4GW of new capacity. That supports our energy security by powering the equivalent of over 12 million homes, while protecting the country from volatile fossil fuel prices.
What steps he is taking to support disabled people into work.
This Government is committed to championing the rights of, and helping, disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. Last week we announced the expansion of our groundbreaking programme WorkWell across England, up to 250,000 more people with health conditions will receive support to stay in or return to work. This builds on our Pathways to Work Guarantee and our Connect to Work supported employment programme.
When he plans to publish a steel strategy.
I understand this is a worrying time for Tata’s staff and suppliers and I am in contact with Tata regarding their extended maintenance periods at Trostre, Port Talbot Hot Rolled Products and Llanwern Pickle-line sites. Tata staff affected will be paid at a proportional rate over this period.The Welsh steel industry is a high priority for this government. To address global challenges, we have strengthened UK steel safeguards, reduced energy prices, improved public procurement rules, and secured preferential US market access. We are also developing our own steel trade proposals and engaging with the EU at all levels to seek to protect vital UK-EU trade flows.
