answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2016 answer text <p>The Government is moving UK Green Investment Bank plc (GIB) into private ownership so it can continue operating in the same way it does now only funded with private capital rather than relying on taxpayers’ support. The detailed background and supporting case for this move was set out in the policy statement we published on 18 November. Decisions on the proposed sale are being taken in accordance with best practice to ensure all available options are properly examined in a detailed business case and that a robust valuation process is followed. The process does not involve preparation of an impact assessment as there are no regulatory or significant cost impacts of a majority sale of GIB, or changes to pre-existing policy goals for GIB.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 18/01/2016 16:28:50 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
