Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps his Department is taking to support manufacturers not included in the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme.

The Government is committed to bringing down energy costs for businesses and manufacturers across the economy.

By introducing a new comprehensive Cost Control Framework at Spending Review 2027, accelerating grid infrastructure, reducing constraints on the system and pursuing electricity market reform, we will tackle the structural drivers of high electricity costs and bring down bills over time for all businesses, not just those eligible for direct support through the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme.
