answer text <p>The government recognises the potential for the UK to become a leader in developing the next generations of nuclear technologies, provided there is demonstrable value for money for consumers and taxpayers. The Nuclear Sector Deal published last year outlines the government’s ongoing commitment to nuclear innovation, including a new framework to support the deployment of small modular reactors. Up to £56m is available to support the development of advanced modular reactors, including up to £44m for a Feasibility and Development Project and £12m for the Office of Nuclear Regulation and Environment Agency to build the necessary capability.</p><p> </p><p>The government provides extensive support for renewable energy, with around £10bn of annual of low carbon levies supporting the sector and up to £557 million (2011/12 prices) of further support available, starting with the next Contract for Difference allocation round, which will open by May 2019. These auctions are expected to secure 1-2GW of low carbon generation each year in the 2020s.</p><p> </p><p>The government has implemented a number of measures to support the oil and gas sector, including £2.3bn of fiscal changes since 2015, £45m to support exploration, and the introduction of Transferable Tax History to aid investment in late-life assets. As outlined in the Industrial Strategy White Paper, no new government funding is available for sector deals. However, we welcome the way industry has come together under the leadership of Trevor Garlick to enable elements of the proposed sector deal to take shape. The government will continue its close engagement with the sector to consider what we can best do together to strengthen our partnership.</p>

answer text <p>To support the haulage industry, the government will freeze both fuel duty and HGV VED for a further year from April 2019. As a result of the nine years of fuel duty freezes, by April 2020, the average HGV driver will have saved a cumulative £23,300 compared with the pre-2010 escalator.</p><p> </p><p>Fuel duty and its broader impacts on business and the economy remain under review. However, cuts in fuel duty come at a high cost to the Exchequer and do not necessarily offset pump price volatilities such as oil prices and exchange rates.</p><p> </p><p>Both ministers and officials meet regularly with the road freight industry to discuss a wide range of issues, including taxation and cross-border competition.</p> more like this
