This applies equally well to existing vessels or those which are yet to be brought into service.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 04/06/2019 13:45:42 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>The support was provided to British Steel Limited in the form of a bridge facility. Under the terms of the commercial arrangement, the Government purchased the necessary allowances on behalf of British Steel Limited in the week leading up to 30 April and then surrendered them, via British Steel Limited's Operator Holding Account, to the EU Surrender Account. This occurred before the 30th April compliance deadline to surrender allowances for the 2018 reporting year, thus enabling British Steel Limited to meet its environmental obligations and avoid any penalties that would otherwise have resulted from non-compliance. In return, under a deed of forfeiture, the company’s 2019 allowances will be assigned to the Government once issued, and the proceeds from selling these is expected to cover the costs of purchasing the allowances.</p><p> </p><p>The terms of the commercial agreement between the Government and British Steel are set out in letters from the Permanent Secretary of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee and the Comptroller &amp; Auditor General, copies of which have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 04/06/2019 16:03:29 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
