	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2015 answer text <p>A report on 'The size and performance of the UK low carbon economy’ published by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills contains estimates of the number of jobs supported by the low carbon sectors across the UK. [1] The report estimates in 2013 there were 460,600 jobs supported by these sectors, comprising 269,800 people employed by firms operating directly in the sector, with a further 190,800 jobs supported in the supply chain.</p><br /><p>Activity in the oil and gas industry supports jobs directly (those working immediately in the sector), and indirectly (those working in the supply chain), plus others supported in unrelated industries as a result of the direct and indirect workers spending their incomes on goods and services. Oil and Gas UK’s 2014 report estimated 450,000 jobs across the whole economy, comprising:</p><br /><ul><li>36,000 employed directly</li><li>200,000 in the supply chain</li><li>112,000 jobs elsewhere in the economy (induced jobs)</li><li>100,000 jobs in related export industries</li></ul><br /><p>Oil and Gas UK updated their analysis in 2015, giving a total of 375,000 jobs across all these areas.</p><br /><p>The investment driven by the government will support thousands of new jobs across the energy sectors. For example, Hinkley Point C will provide a vital boost for the national and local economy – expected to support 25,000 jobs, with at least 5,000 people from Somerset expected to work directly on the project, providing a £40 million boost to the local economy every year. EDF expects that more than 60% of the value of construction work on HPC will go to UK-based businesses.</p><br /><p>Work is ongoing between the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills regarding support for jobs in the energy sector. Wherever possible we want to see UK firms completing supply chains and exporting around the world.</p><p><br></p><p><em><strong>[1]</strong></em><em> BIS (March 2015), The Size and Performance of the UK Low Carbon Economy <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/low-carbon-economy-size-and-performance" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/low-carbon-economy-size-and-performance</a> </em></p><p><br></p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 15/12/2015 15:22:26 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 34155 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2015 answer text <p>Energy companies accredited under the Renewables Obligation are recorded in Ofgem’s Renewables and CHP register:</p><p><a href="https://www.renewablesandchp.ofgem.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.renewablesandchp.ofgem.gov.uk/</a>.</p><br /><p>Whilst the award of supply chain contracts is a matter of commercial negotiation for the companies in question, UK content in the supply chain is important to this Government, and my Department takes steps to maximise it. For example, DECC, together with UKTI and BIS, works closely with each offshore wind farm developer to ensure that UK companies are able to bid for contracts in an open and fair competition process.</p><br /><p><ins class="ministerial">Offshore Wind Developers have committed to achieving their vision statement of providing over 50% UK content in UK offshore wind farms. There is an agreed industry standard methodology in place for the Industry to measure and record the UK content in each offshore wind farm. The industry publishes the anonymised and consolidated results to allow the sector and the public to track the sector’s progress towards fulfilling their vision.</ins></p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 09/12/2015 15:50:47 question first ministerially corrected 14/12/2015 15:07:26 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 34622 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
