answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>Electricity generation in the U.K. is privatised and the decisions on spare step-up transformers are for the individual generator businesses. Electricity transmission operations in the U.K. are private, regulated businesses. Decisions on spare transmission connected transformers are matters for the transmission businesses, to meet the licence conditions under which they operate; they form an important component in the provision of reliability of supply. The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not hold data on generator step-up transformer or transmission connected transformer quantities held as spares by industry.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon
