	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2022 answer text <p>The Department is unable to provide information relating to loan amounts for individual companies as this information is commercially sensitive for both investors and investee businesses.</p><p>All investee companies were required to certify that they met the UK nationality criteria as part of the process of signing the Convertible Loan Agreement. Businesses provided details of their country of incorporation, UK Company registration number as well as the citizenship of company officers and an ownership structure chart or supporting documentation showing ultimate beneficial owners of the company. These details were checked as part of the eligibility checks carried out. As this particular business was pre-revenue and pre-operational at the time of application, these checks also satisfied the requirement that over half of employees should be UK-based or half of revenues should be from UK sales.</p><p>Licensing is a matter for the Civil Aviation Authority. A UK Air Operator Certificate has not been granted to this company to date.<strong><em> </em></strong></p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 29/03/2022 15:27:50 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

Later this year, the Government will consult on reforms to the National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) regime which will support the improved delivery of green energy projects. <br> <br> Underpinning these reforms is the Energy Secretary’s current review of the Energy National Policy Statements, which will reflect the policies and broader strategic approach set out in the Energy White Paper and ensure we continue to have a planning policy framework which can support the infrastructure required for the transition to net zero. <br> <br> As set out in the Net Zero Strategy, we also intend to review the National Planning Policy Framework to make sure it contributes to climate change mitigation as fully as possible, and help bring greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 29/03/2022 16:56:21 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh
