Each SI was carefully considered on a case-by-case basis, enabling the Department to lay the critical secondary legislation required before we exit the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Given the extension to Article 50, the Department will consider whether any further EU exit SIs will need to be brought forward to amend any EU Regulations which have come into force since the original EU Exit SI programme was finalised, to ensure a functioning statute book ahead of a potential ‘no deal’ exit. The Department will keep this under careful review.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 16/04/2019 14:37:25 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond previous answer version 114111 answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what percentage of the UK’s energy mix by 2030 will be delivered by (1) marine renewable energy, and (2) solar energy; and what steps they (a) have taken, and (b) intend to take, to achieve the delivery of that percentage.
tabling member printed	Baroness Smith of Gilmorehill
uin	HL15196
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2019 answer text <p>On an annual basis BEIS publishes updated energy and emissions projections, which are located on the BEIS website. In the latest report published 11 April 2019, renewables are projected to form 59% of the UK's electricity generation by 2030 (under the reference scenario). Up to the early 2020s, the reference scenario reflects current power sector policies. Beyond the early 2020s, the reference scenario includes assumptions that go beyond current Government policy. The results do not indicate a preferred outcome and should be treated as illustrative.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2003 the Government has made £174m innovation and grant funding available to wave and tidal stream technologies with £80m of that since 2010. Wave and tidal stream projects benefitted from the highest level of support under the Renewables Obligation (5 RO Certificates/MWh) and are eligible to enter the forthcoming Contract for Difference allocation round. As set out in the Clean Growth Strategy, wave and tidal stream technologies could have a role in the long-term decarbonisation of the UK, but they will need to demonstrate how they can compete with other forms of generation.</p><p> </p><p>Solar PV is a UK success story: under the RO and Feed in Tariff schemes, both of which have now closed, a total of 12.3GW of solar PV capacity was delivered. We are now exceeding our historic projections on solar PV deployment. In 2013 we estimated that solar capacity would reach 10-12GW by 2020, but latest figures indicate that we already have over 13GW of solar capacity installed in the UK; enough to power over 3 million homes. Subsidy-free deployment of solar PV may be a viable option for developers in future, with two such sites having already deployed in the UK, and the planned construction of two more large-scale subsidy-free solar projects was announced in February 2019.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 16/04/2019 14:13:50 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

Ofsted has consulted on its proposed new inspection framework and its response to the consultation will be published shortly.</p><p>The government is committed to supporting young carers, so they are safeguarded from excessive or inappropriate caring responsibilities and supported to achieve their full potential.</p><p>As well as delivering the commitments set out in the Carers Action Plan 2018-20, we have also launched the Children in Need Review. This will identify how to spread best practice on raising educational outcomes of children in need, including young carers assessed as being in need.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 16/04/2019 11:25:40 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
