Wales Office: Redundancy Pay Asked by: John Hayes (Conservative - South Holland and The Deepings) Wednesday 25th March 2026 Question to the Wales Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how much her Department has spent on special severance payments in each of the last three years.

Hydrogen: Wales Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Tuesday 31st March 2026 Question to the Wales Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps her Department is taking to ensure Wales benefits equitably from green hydrogen funding. Answered by Jo Stevens - Secretary of State for Wales The UK Government remains firmly committed to establishing a thriving hydrogen sector across the UK, including in Wales. The Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HARs) are a flagship government funding mechanism to support low carbon hydrogen across the UK. Under Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1), two out of the eleven successful projects were awarded in Wales. These include the HyBont project in Bridgend and the West Wales Hydrogen project in Milford Haven. I was pleased to recently host an event with Minister Shanks to mark the West Wales Hydrogen Project reaching its Final Investment Decision. As part of Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2), three Welsh projects were shortlisted in April 2025, located in Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Magor. I will continue to work with colleagues across government to ensure that Wales is positioned at the forefront of the UK’s clean energy mission to secure the maximum economic benefits and high-quality jobs.
