Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2025

Debate

Energy Prices

Contribution

Communities can feel tangible benefits, but those community benefits are largely voluntary at the moment. The hon. Gentleman makes an important point, however; that is why this Government are considering mandating the provision of community benefit funds for low-carbon energy infrastructure across the United Kingdom. We will have more to say in our plans when they are set out later this year.
