The UK government has confirmed its plan to set up headquarters for a new energy company in Scotland - but it is yet to decide on a location.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden said further details about GB Energy would be confirmed in due course. The King said the legislation would “help the country achieve energy independence and unlock investment in energy infrastructure”. "I think it'll be great to have the headquarters of that in Scotland, exactly where, we'll announce in due course.”Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden says the government is yet to make a decision on the GB Energy headquartersa "publicly-owned clean energy generation company", which would operate like Sweden's Vattenfall or Denmark's Orsted.
He added: "Again, that's something that we said before the election, and so what you'd expect our actions to be after the election should be consistent with that."Ahead of the King's Speech, Labour was under pressure to scrap the two-child benefit cap - but the policy was not mentioned. Asked why the SNP government did not mitigate the effects of the policy north of the border, he said it had already introduced the Scottish Child Payment but that Holyrood’s finances were “hugely constrained” by Westminster.
