Net Zero: 2050 Target
06 June 2023
Responding: Graham Stuart
Main Concerns
['The Energy Minister highlights the success in decarbonising power generation but acknowledges significant challenges in areas such as domestic heating and building retrofitting. He expresses concern about fiscal constraints, technological limitations, and the need to balance security, affordability, and sustainability. The reliance on natural gas for heating and the outdated housing stock present major hurdles in achieving net zero by 2050.']
Specific Asks
['The Minister asks the government to consider ways to incentivize investment in decarbonisation technologies through tax policies, examine the capital allowance regime, and address grid infrastructure issues. He also suggests that hydrogen could be a viable substitute for natural gas and encourages further exploration of this technology.']
Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood
17 January 2023
Responding: Neil O'Brien
Main Concerns
['The lead MP is concerned about the sudden and unexpected deaths of children aged between one and 18 years, which often remain unexplained despite thorough investigations. He highlights the tragedy experienced by Julia and Christian Rogers after the loss of their son Louis to SUDC in 2021. The MP notes that SUDC is among the leading categories of death for children aged one to four but has not received adequate public attention, causing bewilderment and confusion among bereaved families and a lack of awareness among the wider population.']
Specific Asks
['The lead MP urges the Minister to prioritise research into SUDC, encourage consistent medical education and training on this subject, and increase public information about the condition. He requests an undertaking from the NHS to update its website and engage with officials and managers to progress initiatives related to SUDC.']
Warm Home Discount And Green Homes Grant Scheme
19 November 2020
Main Concerns
['The hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich mentioned the warm home discount, which provides financial assistance to more than 3 million low-income and vulnerable households each winter, benefiting each household by £140 a year. Since 2015, the Government has published a fuel poverty strategy for England that set out their approach to tackling fuel poverty.']
Specific Asks
['The hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich suggested there would not be time to fully implement the green homes grant by its current deadline. We are considering whether to extend it beyond March 2022, which could provide significant assistance to households facing fuel poverty.']

- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
