answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The ownership of intellectual property (IP) arising from publicly funded research in the UK, including from Medical Research Council (MRC), resides with the research organisation within which the research is undertaken; which could be a university, independent research organisation or research council institute. These research organisations are expected to have exploitation arrangements in place as a condition of the transfer of IP ownership (for example, in Research Council grants), to enable third parties, including businesses and other organisations, to licence or commercialise the results of this research.</p><p>Where research is conducted in an MRC owned unit or institute, the arising IP is owned by the MRC. MRC uses LifeArc as its “technology transfer agent” for the protection, management and exploitation of this IP, including licencing to business and other organisations. Royalties arising from these licensing activities, and from licensing to any spin-outs based on any MRC-owned IP, are owned by the MRC for as long as the patent is effective; the earned income is re-invested by MRC in research.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 28/11/2018 15:42:10 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to Article 83, paragraphs (1) and (2) of the Draft Agreement on the withdrawal of the UK from the EU and the European Atomic Energy Agency, dated 14 November 2018, who will own fissile materials stored at UK nuclear facilities after the UK withdraws from that agency.
tabling member constituency	Brighton, Pavilion
tabling member printed	Caroline Lucas
uin	193428
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>Under the current European Atomic Energy Community (“Euratom”) Treaty arrangements, special fissile material is collectively owned by the Euratom Community, but the operator with the legal title to the material has an <em>“unlimited right of use and consumption”</em> over it, subject to their complying with the obligations imposed on them by the Treaty. This form of supranational, or sovereign, ownership underpins the regulation of special fissile materials by the Euratom Community in accordance with the Euratom Treaty.</p><p>The UK and EU have agreed that when the UK leaves the EU, Euratom’s supranational ownership arrangements will cease to apply in the UK. Article 83(1) removes Euratom’s ‘sovereign’ ownership and rights in relation to material held in the UK at the end of the implementation period. As Euratom ownership will cease as a result of 83(1), Article 83(2) clarifies that those operators that currently hold title to the material will be the sole owners of it, with all the rights and obligations that apply to it. These provisions will not have any practical impact on the day to day management and use of the material.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 28/11/2018 11:45:35 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>National Grid published their 2018 Future Energy Scenarios on 12 July (attached) and previously produced a bespoke note on the electricity system impacts of electric vehicles (attached). The level of impact that National Grid presents is readily manageable by the electricity system, and shows the benefits that can be provided through smart charging of electric vehicles. Therefore, the Government has taken powers in the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act to mandate that all charge points sold or installed in the UK must be smart enabled, and we are planning to consult on secondary regulations in the new year. In addition, the Government has established an Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce in order to consider these issues, including the underpinning industry standards and practices that may be required.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley attachment 1 file name 2nd attachment to HL11632.pdf title 2018 Future Energy Scenarios 2 file name Attachment to HL11632.pdf title Electricity system impacts of electric vehicles question first answered 28/11/2018 13:54:56 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
