Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support the glass manufacturing industry with gas energy prices.

I recognise the pressure that gas prices place on glass manufacturers. While there is no dedicated scheme for industrial gas price relief, my Department keeps support for energy-intensive industries under review.

Many glass manufacturers are eligible for our electricity price support schemes like the British Industry Supercharger. My officials regularly engage with British Glass and individual businesses to discuss how the Government can support the sector and ensure any concerns are heard.
