	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2017 answer text <p>In December 2016, Defra consulted on proposals to introduce Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) emissions controls on generators alongside its consultation on proposals for the implementation of the Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD), aimed at improving air quality. The definition of generators used in the proposal captures those with a rated input of between 1MW thermal and 50MW thermal, although site aggregation means that some plants below this amount may also be affected if the total input on the same site falls within the proposed range. Insufficient controls on diesel generator emissions risk distorting electricity markets by encouraging new diesel at the expense of cleaner gas generation. Following the consultation on tightening controls, the 2016/17 capacity market auctions resulted in significantly fewer new diesel projects. While the proposed regulations relate to air quality, actions which reduce the use of diesel generators would limit carbon emissions.</p><p>The Defra consultation closed on 18 February and a response will be issued in due course.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 25/07/2017 15:59:15 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

Key policies to secure this ambition include the launch and roll-out of Sector Deals, driving investment in innovative and high potential businesses, and launching a review of the actions that could be most effective in improving the productivity and growth of small and medium-sized businesses across the country. We will also continue to ensure that all businesses have access to a local Growth Hub.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2015 answer text <p>In this case, under ‘security requirements’: sections 105A to D of the Communications Act 2003, the legislation that applies to telecoms providers requires them to take measures to protect the security and resilience of their networks and services. Ofcom has the power to intervene if it believes a provider is not taking the appropriate measures. This legislation applies to fibre optic network operators providing back haul to mobile operators.</p><p>Generally, commercial agreements between providers will specify service levels to be adhered to, including times for remedying network disruptions. However, in its Business Connectivity Market Review (consultation 15 May 2015 - 31 July 2015), Ofcom stated that it considers BT’s quality of service in providing wholesale Ethernet leased line connections (including mobile backhaul) to be unacceptable, despite improvements that it acknowledges the company has made. Therefore the Regulator has proposed to impose obligations on BT to improve its provision of wholesale leased line services, with minimum standards of certainty of delivery date; provision lead-times; and repair times.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 12/10/2015 12:38:58 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
