answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>We have received no such representations. However, the paper industry is an important part of the UK’s manufacturing infrastructure. This Government recognises the challenges facing energy-intensive sectors such as paper, and we have taken steps to reduce the cumulative impact of energy and climate change policies on industrial electricity prices this industry faces. Building on the achievement of a £10 billion saving for business from deregulation in the last Parliament, we have also committed to reducing business red tape by a further £10 billion over the next five years.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 10/06/2015 11:42:52 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
