uin	4458
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2015 answer text <p>We do not expect consumer bills to rise as a result of our proposals to end new subsidies for onshore wind. Indeed, those onshore wind projects unlikely now to go ahead would have cost hundreds of millions of pounds in Renewables Obligation (RO) subsidy over their lifetime. This Government is committed to bringing about the transition to low carbon generation as cost effectively and securely as possible.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 09/07/2015 12:05:59 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
