answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2019 answer text <p>The Pipe-lines, Petroleum, Electricity Works and Oil Stocking (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 were laid before Parliament in December 2018 and will enter into force following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The Regulations will ensure that the relevant regulatory regimes for oil and gas licensing, environmental protection and oil stocking remain effective and appropriate post-EU exit. They will not result in any additional burdens on industry as they will simply fix ‘post-exit’ deficiencies within a suite of existing legislation.</p><p> </p><p>The existing UK Compulsory Oil Stocking regime will continue to operate in the event of a no deal, but the EU obligations within this system will cease to apply. Several bilateral agreements are in place with other EU Member States to help ensure that the system continues to be flexible and robust.</p><p> </p><p>The Department engages regularly with the oil and gas sector on EU exit issues.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 30/07/2019 13:52:31 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to his Answer of 15 July 2019 to Question 274430 and with reference to the Building Research Establishment document quoted, for what reason that methodology of selecting information referred to in para 2.2 and page 5 has been used and what the timetable is for publishing the full review that his Department is commissioning on that methodology.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2019 answer text <p>This paragraph refers to a method of averaging data over time rather than selecting information. This method has been used by the Buildings Research Establishment where raw test data cannot be used directly in its methodology for assessing Flue Gas Heat Recovery Systems. This is because the raw data would create anomalous fluctuations in the temperature gradient due to measurement uncertainty in the individual readings. This approach will be considered as part of the review.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is in the process of procuring a third-party organisation to carry out the review. Our aim is to have the review completed around the turn of the year. However, this is subject to the detailed requirements identified by the reviewing organisation, such as the extent of laboratory testing required. Manufacturers will be informed of the outcome of the review when it concludes.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 30/07/2019 13:41:20 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
