The UK has enjoyed record levels of deployment of renewables in recent years and the Government has also agreed a deal to bring forward the first new nuclear power station in a generation. Increasingly, as we benefit from the lower technology costs arising from this deployment, we can expect competitive forces increasingly to stimulate further investment in the low carbon power generation that the country needs.</p><br /> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 27/01/2016 13:46:24 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 40967 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

To date we have not seen any effect in take up of such vehicles as a result of these tax changes.</p><br /><p>Our assessment of the impact of the changes we are making to renewable electricity support are set out in the impact assessment published alongside each of the changes to renewables support which are available on <a href="http://www.gov.uk/decc" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/decc</a>.</p><br /><p>Lastly, the privatisation of the GIB will allow the company to increase its investments in the UK green economy. It will be able to raise more capital free from being on the Government balance sheet. It will also be free from State Aid restrictions on the green investments it can make.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 28/01/2016 15:14:34 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
