answer text <p>The Scheme’s surplus-sharing arrangements mean that scheme members receive approximately 33% higher payments than they would otherwise have done. There are currently no plans for a review of the surplus-sharing arrangements. In addition, the Government guarantee ensures that pensions increase in line with RPI.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have set out an ambitious target for the minimum wage to reach 2/3 of median earnings by 2024 subject to wider economic conditions. It is important that increases are evidence-based, sustainable and affordable for business. That is why we consider the expert and independent advice of the Low Pay Commission when increasing the rates as setting the minimum wage too high may lead to higher unemployment and harm the very people the policy is intended to help.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department has made no such assessment. The Government recognises that those households who do not have a domestic electricity meter or a direct relationship with an energy supplier and who are not benefitting from the main Energy Bills Support Scheme are in need of energy support over the winter. The Government is working to deliver this support through the EBSS Alternative Funding as soon as possible.</p><p> </p> more like this

The Government recognises that not all off-grid properties will be suitable for a heat pump and there will be a role for alternative low carbon technologies where heat pumps cannot be used. Further evidence is needed to assess what role biofuels such as bioLPG or hydrotreated vegetable oil could play in the future heating mix – in particular the overall amount of sustainable biomass available to the UK and how this could be best used across the economy to achieve our net zero target.</p> more like this
