Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what proportion of grant funding schemes funded by her Department are performing to a satisfactory standard according to their respective monitoring and evaluation processes as of 13 October 2023.

The Department will review the performance of grant schemes through the completion of its first assessment of grant operations later in the year. This is a well-established process, administered by the Cabinet Office, for determining alignment with Government Functional Standards. Alongside this review, as a new department, the Department will establish the mechanisms to report specifically on grants and whether they meet their objectives.
