answer text <p>The Government is committed to minimising energy costs for businesses and consumers.</p><p> </p><p>The precise bill impact of Allocation Round 4 (AR4) will be dependent on future wholesale electricity prices, which remain uncertain. Although difficult to predict with certainty, the Government expects AR4 to have a relatively small impact on household bills. AR4 will deliver capacity which is a critical part of the Government’s strategy to reduce system costs and will increase energy independence by contributing towards the transition to a low carbon electricity system.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Net Zero Strategy included a mix of quantified and unquantified policies. Depending on which accounting methodology would be adopted as the international standard at COP26, shortly after the Strategy’s publication, the quantified policies were projected to deliver either ~95% or, as under the now agreed standard, over 100% of the emissions reductions needed for the sixth carbon budget. It is also inherently difficult to quantify the emission reductions that a particular policy will generate over time.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Government Ministers always carefully consider the Climate Change Committee’s advice. The Climate Change Committee described the Net Zero Strategy as ‘an ambitious and comprehensive strategy that marks a significant step forward for UK climate policy’, and as ‘the world's most comprehensive plan to reach Net Zero’. It also stated that ‘It follows the transparent process for developing climate policy set out in the UK’s Climate Change Act’ and that ‘The Net Zero Strategy fulfils the requirement in the Act for the Government to present policies and proposals to meet the UK’s emissions targets’.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government supports the police using new technologies like facial recognition to protect the public. Whether and how they use it is an operational matter for the police in accordance with the legal framework, and they have published the results.</p><p>The College of Policing has published an Authorised Professional Practice, which provides national guidance and addresses the Court of Appeal judgment on <em>Bridges vs South Wales Police</em>. This includes details on how to measure accuracy, the requirement to comply with the public sector equality duty in relation to possible bias, the need for a human decision on whether and how to intervene following an alert for a possible match, and the deployment criteria.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Kimberley Process (KP) Certificate Scheme was originally designed to combat the trade in conflict diamonds, defined as rough diamonds being sold by rebel groups to fund conflict. While conflict diamonds now represent less than 1 per cent of the global trade in rough diamonds, the narrow definition of conflict diamonds means the KP's ability to deliver on other issues is limited. The UK supports updating the definition of a conflict diamond so the Kimberley Process is better able to address the different types of conflict and actors of those conflicts, and will continue to play a role in discussions within the KP on this and other challenges it faces.</p> more like this
