answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2022 answer text <p>As set out in my previous response, at Spring Statement 2022, the Government announced the expansion of the VAT relief on the installation of energy saving materials (ESMs) to residential accommodation in Great Britain. The expansion of the relief, which includes the zero-rating of solar panel installations, represents an additional £280 million of support for investment in ESMs.</p><p> </p><p>VAT is the UK’s third largest tax, forecast to raise £157 billion in 2022/23, helping to fund key spending priorities such as important public services, including the NHS and policing. Extending the ESMs relief to battery storage as a standalone technology would have a fiscal cost and should be viewed in the context of over £50 billion of requests for relief from VAT received since the EU referendum.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government keeps all taxes under review, and recognises the importance of ensuring that policy remains in step with the rapid pace of technological development in the ESMs market and the changing policy context since this particular relief was introduced.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 19/12/2022 15:22:39 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2022 answer text <p>Energy suppliers are delivering the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) to households in Great Britain with a domestic electricity contract in six monthly instalments to help reduce bills over the winter period. If a customer does build up a surplus in their account, they can contact their supplier to request a refund of that credit. Delivering EBSS is a complex and unique task which is delivering help to millions of households each month and the Government does not plan to amend the agreed process.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 20/12/2022 15:10:36 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart previous answer version 42684 answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2022 answer text <p>The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is designed to enable governors to commission innovative, local projects that meet the needs of their prisoners.

Governors have authority to move education funds between the Prison Education Framework (PEF) and the DPS pots on an annual basis, up to 5 per cent of the PEF contract value.
