uin	4531
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2015 answer text <p>Sea level will rise in response to the expansion of the warming oceans and from melting land ice. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 5th Assessment Report notes that for a climate change scenario consistent with remaining below 2°C, global mean sea level rise is likely to be between 0.26 to 0.55 m for the period 2081–2100, compared to 1986–2005. The top of this range could be higher should the marine-based ice sheets in Antarctica collapse, increasing by up to several tenths of a metre. Sea level rise will continue beyond the 21<sup>st</sup> century in this scenario even though global temperatures stabilise, with at least a further 0.5 m expected by 2500.</p><p>The future contribution from ice sheets remains very uncertain. There is a risk their melting could result in considerable sea level rise in the longer term.</p><p>The UK government is funding research into future sea level rise and its impacts through the DECC and Defra co-funded Met Office Hadley Centre Climate Programme, and through the DECC funded AVOID programme.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 03/07/2015 13:30:29 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 10894 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

uin	4565
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2015 answer text <p>There is a very positive economic case for a combined gas and electricity smart meter roll-out in Great Britain. The latest Impact Assessment estimates a net benefit of £6.2 billion over the period to 2030.</p><p>Mains gas is prevalent in GB, serving around 80% of premises and supplying most cooking and space heating energy requirements.</p><p>The case for including gas meters in the GB smart rollout is compelling. If smart meters were installed for electricity only, energy suppliers would still incur the cost of visiting premises for installations, and they would have to run two systems in parallel – a smart one for electricity, a traditional one for gas. This would involve amongst other things retaining meter reading teams for gas. In addition, consumers would not have access to the information to realise the substantial energy savings related to gas use and heating. Overall, this would reduce the Programme’s Net Present Value significantly.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 03/07/2015 13:25:04 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 10884 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
