This trend will continue as the economy transitions towards net zero emissions by 2050. Shorter-term fluctuations in energy consumption are highly weather dependent - energy consumption is lower in the spring and summer and then rises in the autumn and winter. Domestic energy consumers in Great Britain will receive a £200 discount on their energy bills this Autumn, part of the Government\u2019s £9.1 billion package of support to help households with rising energy bills.<\/p>

The Department works closely with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on cyber risks to all business sectors, including the automotive sector. The NCSC regularly publishes threat updates and a wide range of actionable guidance and tools for businesses on its website; their most recent being guidance for UK organisations in respect of cyber threats and the current situation in Ukraine. The NCSC, along with my department, works closely with trade bodies and industry partnerships as a trusted route to providing best practice and practical advice to businesses. In December 2021 the Government published its National Cyber Strategy, which contains more information on the breadth of cyber security actions being taken by Government. The annual Cyber Security Breaches Survey also sets out details of the cyber threat to businesses and what firms are doing in response.<\/p>"}
