	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>This Government continues to believe that nuclear has an important role to play in the UK’s future energy mix, but it must represent good value for taxpayers and consumers. The Wylfa and Moorside projects were not due to be operational until the late 2020s, and there are a range of options for replacing this capacity over that time-frame. Both sites remain potential sites for nuclear new build under the current National Policy Statement, and myself and my officials remain willing to meet with any viable proponents wishing to develop these sites. My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State will set out a new approach to financing new nuclear in the planned energy White Paper in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 11/02/2019 15:37:41 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

	uin	HL13916
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2019 answer text <p>This initiative from the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association is most welcome. Many forward thinking businesses and consumers are already benefiting from whole life cost savings that can be made from choosing plug-in vehicles. The Government already offers the Plug-in Car Grant to help with the cost of purchasing electric vehicles and has pledged that this will continue in some form until at least 2020. Consumer incentives in some form will continue to play a role beyond 2020. The Government has established a favourable tax regime to incentivise the purchase of the cleanest vehicles, in particular zero emission vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that the availability of adequate charging infrastructure is vital and offers a variety of grant funding schemes to support recharging infrastructure in motorists’ homes, workplaces and on residential streets. The Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF), funded with £200m of new Government investment and matched by £200m from private investors, will accelerate the roll-out of charging infrastructure and enable thousands more publicly accessible chargepoints. The full range of steps that the Government is taking was set out in the Road To Zero Strategy in July 2018.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 06/03/2019 11:43:34 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	tabling member printed	Lord Campbell-Savours
	uin	HL13642
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>On its website, Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd presents a technology platform to identify promising peptides that can target cancer cells. All other information on multi-target toxin, (MuTaTo), which is a product combining several cancer-targeting peptides with a strong peptide toxin, which would be personalised to each patient and kill cancer cells specifically - is derived from interviews to newspapers. As no publication of the company’s preliminary works (in vitro and in animals) is available from scientific journals, neither scientific experts nor the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is able to make any assessment of this therapy. The company claims that it is about to start clinical trials, but currently, no clinical trial with such a compound is registered in the European Union public register. If, in the future, the company wishes to apply for a Marketing Authorisation when results in patients become available, the MHRA will be able to assess the quality, safety and efficacy of this therapy and its risk and benefit for its use.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 26/02/2019 13:36:54 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
