Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what funding has been allocated for renewable energy projects.

Answered by Sarah Owen - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Northern Ireland Office)

Energy policy is devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive. To support renewable energy policies, in December 2025 Great British Energy provided £1.66 million to the Northern Ireland Executive. This will support public sector renewable energy projects. For example, the Further Education sector will benefit from clean energy through installation of Solar PV and battery storage technology at four further education colleges including, South West College, South Eastern Regional College, Northern Regional College and Belfast Met College.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps are being taken to tackle hate crimes and sectarian incidents.

Answered by Sarah Owen - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Northern Ireland Office)

Incidences of hate crimes and sectarianism are deplorable and have no justification. Nearly thirty years on from the Good Friday Agreement, there is no place for this kind of intolerance in Northern Ireland.

Issues relating to justice, including sectarianism and hate crime legislation and policy, are devolved matters. The Northern Ireland Office is committed to working with the Northern Ireland Executive to building a safer society in which current and future generations feel secure, respected and more reconciled.
