answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>Community benefits are not paid to any new nuclear community until the new station starts generating. As set out in the 2013 Written Ministerial Statement, under the current policy community benefits would be paid in two phases: Firstly local authorities would retain a share of the business rates from the power station, up until the end of the decade in which it comes online. Thereafter, the remaining balance of the community benefit package would be paid directly from central government.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government are making changes to business rates retention policy and the Department is engaged with them to understand the potential implications for the delivery mechanism for community benefits.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 29/01/2018 13:24:04 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will ensure that retired semi-submersible drilling rigs from the UK continental shelf are decommissioned in the UK.
tabling member constituency	Salford and Eccles
tabling member printed	Rebecca Long Bailey
uin	122698
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2018 answer text <p>Mobile drilling rigs are legally classified as ships and are covered by shipping regulations. The location of decommissioning or dismantling of drilling rigs is a commercial decision taken by the owners who will need to comply with prevailing environmental law. Currently a vessel leaving a UK port for decommissioning falls under the definition of waste in the EU Waste Shipment Regulation and would need to be recycled in an appropriately equipped facility. EU Ship Recycling Regulations are due to enter into force later this year that will replace the current system with a list of approved facilities for the recycling of vessels including drilling rigs.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 18/01/2018 17:29:02 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
