answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2021 answer text <p>On 20 April, we announced that from 17 May, employers would be required to revert back to face to face and physical document checks as set out in legislation and guidance. However, we published an update to this on 12 May, announcing the decision to push back the date for physical document checks to resume from 21 June.</p><p>After consulting extensively, we understand that many employers will not be in a position to return fully to the office until 21 June in line with the UK Government’s roadmap to ease lockdown restrictions in England and those of the devolved administrations.</p><p>The COVID-19 adjusted checking process was a temporary measure and we made clear to employers that we would end it in line with the lifting of social distancing measures.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/05/2021 14:25:48 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2021 answer text <p>The Home Office’s online right to work checking service has been in operation for over two years. It enables employers to undertake free digital checks on prospective migrant employees with a biometric residence permit or card, status under the EU Settlement Scheme or the new Points-Based System. The online service relies on real-time information from the Home Office about an individual’s status and checks can be undertaken remotely.</p><p> </p><p>The online right to work checking service is part of our wider ambition to develop a border and immigration system which is “digital by default”, including providing evidence of immigration status. We are increasingly replacing physical and paper-based products and services with accessible, easy to use online and digital services.</p><p> </p><p>In March 2020, we introduced the COVID-19 temporary adjusted right to work and rent measures, which allow for remote checking for those individuals, such as British citizens, who cannot use the online right to work checking service. These measures were intended to be in place for a limited period, as they do not provide fully secure digital verification. The adjusted process allows document checks to be undertaken remotely, via video call, rather than face-to-face and for scanned copies of documents to be provided.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise the benefits this process has brought to employers and are mindful of the potential shift towards increased hybrid and remote working as the future model of many businesses.

The Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy, published in March, explains our approach</p><p> </p><p>We will align the UK Emissions Trading Scheme cap to be consistent with Net Zero, and are considering mechanisms to further strengthen the UK ETS and the Climate Change Agreements scheme. We are also investing in decarbonisation technologies through the £1bn CCUS Infrastructure Fund, £289m Industrial Energy Transformation Fund and £240m Net Zero Hydrogen Fund.

We will also propose new measures to support the growth of the market for low carbon products.</p><p> </p><p>The NDRHI closed to new applicants on 31st March 2021.

uin	180556
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2021 answer text <p>The Government’s priority is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities and adapt to those impacts that are unavoidable.</p><p> </p><p>Negative emissions from technologies such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) may be required to balance residual emissions from some of the most difficult to decarbonise sectors, such as agriculture and aviation. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) recommend deploying BECCS in the UK at a potential rate of 53 MtCO2/yr by 2050.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Carbon Capture and Storage Infrastructure Fund, the UK Government will provide at least £800 million pounds to establish carbon capture and storage in at least two UK clusters, one by the mid-2020s and another by 2030.</p><p> </p><p>We are taking action to support innovation and strengthen our understanding of GGRs before moving forward with deployment. In June 2020, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister committed up to £100 million funding to research and develop Direct Air Capture technologies in the UK. As part of this, BEIS launched phase 1 of the Direct Air Capture and other GGRs innovation competition in November, which seeks to support the development of GGR technologies to help them achieve commercialisation.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 21/04/2021 15:33:44 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
