Reducing domestic production would not reduce end use emissions but could lead to billions of pounds going abroad and lost British jobs and tax revenues. New licences slow the decline in UK oil and gas production, boosting the UK's energy security, rather than increasing production above current levels. The UK remains on track to meet net zero by 2050.</p><p> </p><p>The impact of North Sea exploration has been assessed by the UK Government in an Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 23/10/2023 16:11:15 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2023 answer text <p>Energy suppliers can provide the Warm Home Discounts payments to their customers at any point until the end of March each scheme year, although in many cases it will be paid earlier. The timing of the payment will also depend on how each customer pays for their energy.</p><p> </p><p>While most households will receive their rebate automatically, without having to apply, this approach enables further households to be identified as eligible through manual means and allows energy suppliers time to resolve any issues with the Instructions to Pay. Therefore, the Government has not considered bringing forward the payment deadline.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 13/01/2023 13:44:45 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart previous answer version 46083 answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
