answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2023 answer text <p>The Renewable Energy and Adaptation to Climate Technologies (REACT) programme's aim was to incentivise the private sector to invest in low-cost clean energy and adaptation technologies to raise incomes and help climate adaptation. Its effectiveness was assessed in its Project Completion Report, which scored the programme an 'A', denoting that it had achieved its expected aims. It supported a number of early-stage companies now attracting commercial investment, helped attract $150 million of matching investments, and paved the way for mini-grids being accepted as part of the rural energy mix in Tanzania.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 13/07/2023 12:10:11 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of an extension to Crewe of the first phase of High Speed 2 on the (a) route through Lichfield constituency and (b) need for an additional railway line north of the City of Lichfield connecting the end of Phase one to the West Coast mainline.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>No decision has yet been made on Phase Two as we are still considering the responses to the public consultation. Sir David Higgins's proposals would see the Government's preferred route to Crewe, which formed part of the recent Phase Two consultation, constructed earlier. Therefore, it is not anticipated that Sir David's proposal alone would affect the route through the Lichfield constituency. However, the route of Phase Two through the Lichfield constituency is clearly subject to the outcomes of the recent public consultation.</p><p> </p><p>The powers for Phase Two, including the section of line to Crewe, are proposed to be sought via a second hybrid Bill. As such the connection to the West Coast Main Line as part of the Phase One Bill is still required to allow Phase One to operate effectively and to enable destinations such as Stafford to benefit from high speed services. </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 25/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
