Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what comparative assessment he has made with Cabinet colleagues of energy costs in (a) Wales and (b) the rest of the UK.

Answered by David T C Davies

The most recent data demonstrates that households in Wales pay a price broadly on par with the average across Great Britain. This Government has announced unprecedented support to protect households and businesses from high energy prices, including the recent extension of the Energy Price Guarantee. Our support has covered almost half of the typical household energy bill.

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions he has had with (a) the Secretary of State for Health and (b) the Welsh Government on sharing best practice on giving every baby the best start in life.

Answered by David T C Davies

I thank the Rt Honourable Lady for her tireless efforts on this matter.

Health is devolved in Wales, however, the UK Government published its ‘Best Start for Life’ Vision in March 2021, which includes the intention to share best practice with the Welsh Government. Officials in the Department of Health and Social Care will continue to share best practice with Welsh Government officials to ensure every baby gets the best start in life.
