answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2015 answer text <p>The House of Commons Commission and the House of Lords House Committee asked for the independent appraisal of options for restoring and renewing the Palace of Westminster that was published on 18 June. The IOA does not test value for money as such, because it is not yet possible to quantify the benefits of the different options in cash terms. Instead it recommends that value for money should be tested in the course of drawing up a business case in the next phase. The Commission expects value for money to be central to the work of the Joint Committee that is to be set up to take this matter forward.</p> answering member constituency Mole Valley answering member printed Sir Paul Beresford question first answered 09/07/2015 09:36:36 answering member 103 label Biography information for Sir Paul Beresford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2015 answer text <p>While we have removed change of use permitted development rights for pubs which are listed as Assets of Community Value, we would not want to impose unnecessary regulation where pubs are not viable or valued.

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 12:22:42 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2015 answer text <p>It is the Government’s aim to receive proposals to develop new nuclear power stations on all eight sites listed in the Nuclear National Policy Statement published in 2011. So far we have received formal proposals for new nuclear power stations for five sites – Hinkley (3.3 GW), Wylfa (2.7 GW), Moorside (3.3 GW), Sizewell (3.3 GW) and Oldbury (2.7 GW). We expect all these new nuclear power stations to come into operation during the 2020s and early 2030s. Under the Contract for Difference for Hinkley the Strike Price will be £89.50/MWh (in 2012 prices), or £92.50 if a final investment decision is not taken on Sizewell. It is too soon to say what the Strike Price might be for future projects.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 09/07/2015 12:21:44 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
