tabling member constituency	Liverpool, Walton

uin	56141
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2016 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of ensuring regions and organisations have stability and certainty in the period leading up to our departure from the European Union. At the same time, we are keen to use the opportunities that departure presents to set our own priorities. The Chancellor has announced that the Treasury will guarantee structural and investment fund bids which are signed before the UK leaves the EU. This includes funding for projects agreed after the Autumn Statement, if they represent good value for money, and if they are in line with the government’s strategic priorities, even if these projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU. <br><br>Leaving the EU means we will want to take our own decisions about how to deliver the policy objectives previously targeted by EU funding. Over the coming months, the government will consult closely with stakeholders to review all EU funding schemes in the round, to ensure that any ongoing funding commitments best serve the UK‘s national interest, while ensuring appropriate certainty.</p> answering member constituency Clwyd West answering member printed Mr David Jones question first answered 12/12/2016 16:25:08 answering member 1502 label Biography information for Mr David Jones

tabling member constituency	Liverpool, Walton

uin	36444
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2016 answer text <p>The Government notes the APPG’s report on Scottish Power and the PowerPlan Cashback Promise.</p><p>Two investigations have already been undertaken into the ‘cashback companies’ and Scottish Power. The first in 2002 was by the Office of Fair Trading, which made recommendations concerning the rules for customers to claim cashback and which the companies implemented. The second, in 2004, was by the Department of Trade and Industry under s447 of the Companies Act 1985. This investigation is confidential, and the findings are prevented by law from publication.</p><p>However it was concluded that there were no grounds for taking further action either against the companies, Scottish Power or the directors involved. This was reviewed again in 2014 when reports were received from the liquidators of the companies, but the position did not change. I can confirm that no new s447 investigation will be taking place.</p><p>The Government has no power to determine liability in this case and has no legal standing to intervene in what is a commercial claim by the liquidator of a limited company against Scottish Power. The liquidation of the companies involved in the scheme is still under way, and the creditors of those companies will receive reports from the liquidators if they are to be paid further dividends.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 10/05/2016 11:20:06 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
