That brings the end to the questions.

I will now come to Prime Minister's questions.

I will first call the Prime Minister to answer the engagement question.

I will then call Derek Twigg to ask his supplementary.

Prime Minister.

Mr Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Let's head to the North West with Duryk, Dwick.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. Horton Council ran out of funding for discretionary COVID isolation payments despite a strict criteria for eligibility.

Just 171 constituents have been helped. The council have applied for further funding, but

what the government have offered will not be enough. Other constituents fail to qualify for

help due to the criteria set by his government. Will the Prime Minister look again at this and bring

forward a properly funded scheme so that no constituent is in a position where they cannot afford to isolate?

We need this to happen if we are to continue to dry down COVID-19 infections.

Prime Minister.

I thank him and I pay tribute to the work of everybody on Horton Council

for everything that they've been doing throughout this.

Pandemic, I know. It's been very tough on council officials, indeed, on everybody else.

Central Government's put in another £4.3 billion to help councils throughout the pandemic.

We will continue to support our local authorities and he'll be hearing more from the Chancellor next week.

Let's head across to Duncan Baker. Duncan.

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

If the UK is to become the Saudi Arabia of wind power, then it is off my coast of North Norfolk that is surely the capital.
