answer text <p>The cross-Government lead on the next NSS and SDSR sits with Cabinet Office. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is engaged with them and other interested Departments. MOD is in the very early stages of identifying those areas which may require further work or which we may wish to look at in 2015 as part of the Cabinet Office-led process. This evolving work supports the development of Government policy and I am therefore not able to provide this internal policy work.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

Additional investment in generating capacity, paid for through the Capacity Market, should reduce volatility in the wholesale electricity price, since it ensures we avoid scarcity situations where prices spike and costly blackouts occur. As there is limited evidence on the behaviour of wholesale prices under conditions of low capacity margins, there is considerable uncertainty about what the overall bill impact of the Capacity Market might be, especially when compared to a world without a Capacity Market to address security of supply issues.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The offences of using a TV receiver without a valid licence and of failure to hold a valid vehicle excise duty licence (tax disc) are not punishable by imprisonment, so offenders cannot be sentenced to custody for these offences. Failing to pay council tax is not a criminal offence. Accordingly, there were no men or women serving custodial sentences on 1 March 2014 for non-payment of a TV licence, vehicle excise duty or council tax.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
