answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance to businesses and households of having access to an affordable, secure and sustainable supply of energy. The UK’s exit from the EU will not alter the fact that our energy system is resilient and secure and drawn from a number of sources.</p><p> </p><p>Many factors impact energy prices including fuel prices, exchange rates and generation mix. Great Britain will remain physically linked to the EU post-exit through electricity and gas interconnectors. We expect that any change in electricity prices in Great Britain as a result of changes to interconnector trading arrangements would fall within the normal range of market volatility. For gas markets, the mechanisms of cross-border trade are not expected to fundamentally change after exit. The UK gas market is one of the world’s most developed and provides security through supply diversity, most of which is not dependent on the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Energy regulators in Ireland and Northern Ireland have set out that the Single Electricity Market (SEM) will continue to operate immediately after Brexit, including in a No Deal scenario. The SEM is designed to put downward pressure on consumer electricity prices, facilitate the integration of renewables and provide continued security of supply. The UK is committed to seeking to maintain the SEM in any scenario and will therefore take all possible measures to do so.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has taken steps to enable electricity and gas trade to continue and maintain the effectiveness of domestic regulation, providing legal clarity for industry on the future operations of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’s energy markets.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 28/10/2019 13:22:01 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Climate change is one of the most urgent and pressing challenges we face today and this Government is committed to tackling it</p><p>Our ambitious domestic emissions reduction targets, enshrined in UK law, will not be affected by Brexit. These commitments, including our net zero 2050 target, go beyond our emissions reduction commitments in EU law.</p><p>The Environment Bill – laid on the 15<sup>th</sup> October - will establish a new, world-leading independent regulator that will enforce our climate commitments, working closely alongside our independent advisers, the Committee on Climate Change.</p><p>Brexit will not affect our international climate commitments. The UK is a party to the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement in our own right and we are bound by all the obligations of these agreements under international law. This includes the requirement to prepare, communicate and maintain successive Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. We have committed to publishing an enhanced UK NDC by February next year.</p><p>In addition to these commitments, we have recently announced that we are setting up a new climate change cabinet committee, chaired by the Prime Minister. This committee will galvanise efforts to tackle environmental challenges and become the cleanest, greenest society on earth, inspiring countries around the world to follow our lead.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 22/10/2019 17:05:23 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng previous answer version 1055 answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
