Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what role the Grocery Code Adjudicator has in Northern Ireland.

The GCA operates across the whole of the United Kingdom and regularly engages with Northern Irish suppliers and stakeholders. |

Alternative Fuels: Excise Duties
Asked by: Robin Swann (Ulster Unionist Party - South Antrim) Wednesday 22nd April 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what (a) fuel duty and (b) other tax treatment is applicable to hydrotreated vegetable oil used in (i) road fuel and (ii) home heating fuel. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is taxed in line with other fuels according to its use.
For fuel duty purposes, HVO is treated as a diesel-equivalent “heavy oil” in the Hydrocarbon Oils Duty Act 1979. When used as a road fuel, it is therefore liable to the standard rate of fuel duty applicable to diesel which is 52.95p per litre. When used for domestic heating, HVO benefits from the rebated duty rate of 10.18p per litre.
For VAT, HVO is subject to the standard rate when used as a road fuel. When supplied for domestic heating, it is eligible for the reduced rate of VAT, subject to the same conditions that apply to other heating fuels, including applicable quantity thresholds.
The Government currently encourages the use of HVO through the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), which incentivises the use of low carbon fuels and reduces emissions from fuel supplied for use in transport and non-road mobile machinery. The RTFO has been very successful in supporting a market for renewable fuel since its introduction in 2008. Renewable fuels supplied under the RTFO currently contribute a third of the savings required for the UK’s transport carbon budget. |

20 Apr 2026
Reconciliation Northern Ireland Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 1 Jun 2026) Reconciliation remains central to the vision of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, whose multi‑party negotiators affirmed that lasting peace in Northern Ireland depended not only on strong political structures but on honouring those who suffered “the tragedies of the past” by “dedicating ourselves to the achievement of reconciliation, tolerance, and mutual trust, and to the protection and vindication of the human rights of all. (The Belfast Agreement - GOV.UK, p.1) Almost 30 years later, however, reconciliation remains one of the most complex aspects of the peace process. Following our inquiry into the legacy of the past, we have agreed to examine societal reconciliation in greater depth, recognising the significance of reconciliation both within and, crucially, beyond the framework of legacy legislation. Read our call for evidence here for more detail about the inquiry and how to contribute your views. |
