We have so far invested over £2.5bn to support both low-income households and public sector organisations to install energy efficiency measures, while also expanding the Energy Company Obligation to £1bn per year. This is significantly above the £1.28bn originally included in the 2019 manifesto covering the first two years of this Parliament.<\/p>

<\/p>

The investment made by this government has resulted in considerable wider economic benefits. For example, our support for low-income households alone is estimated to support over 25,000 jobs and save households an average of £350-450 per year on their energy bills.<\/p>

<\/p>

Further spending decisions will be made at the upcoming Comprehensive Spending Review.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4597", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kemi Badenoch"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Saffron Walden"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kemi Badenoch"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-09-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-09-13T12:25:11.437Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-09-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Energy: Conservation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress his Department has made on spending £9.2 billion on energy efficiency measures over the course of the 2019 Parliament.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1538", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rosie Cooper"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Lancashire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rosie Cooper"} ], "uin" : "45086"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1353284", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1353284/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In July 2019, the Government published a consultation on the viability of a Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model for financing new nuclear projects. The responses to this consultation were published in December 2020 alongside the Energy White Paper. At this time, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy indicated that the RAB could help secure private investment in nuclear projects and cost consumers less in the long run. The Government is in negotiations with EDF in relation to the Sizewell C project and is continuing to explore a range of financing options, including the RAB model and the potential role of government finance during construction, provided there is clear value for money for consumers and taxpayers.<\/p>

<\/p>

Furthermore, in August 2020, the Government published a response to the June 2019 consultation on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCUS) business models. CCUS is expected to decarbonise heavy industrial process and gas-fired power stations by capturing carbon dioxide emissions and transporting it via a network of pipelines to underwater stores. Government concluded that a RAB model would likely be the most effective way to provide value for money for taxpayers whilst also providing investors with confidence over the reliability and sustainability of a revenue stream. Government published further updates to the model in February, May and August 2021.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4597", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kemi Badenoch"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Saffron Walden"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kemi Badenoch"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-09-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-09-10T09:07:24.943Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-09-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Infrastructure: Environmental Protection"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to introduce a Regulated Asset Based Model for large-scale green infrastructure projects.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4859", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Virginia Crosbie"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ynys Môn"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Virginia Crosbie"} ], "uin" : "44485"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1353535", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1353535/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Our domestic oil and gas industry produces the equivalent of around half of the UK\u2019s primary energy needs and will continue to play an important role as we transition to a net zero economy. The industry has paid around £375bn in production taxes to date and supports around 147,000 jobs directly and in their supply chains, employing people in locations right across the country and supporting many more local jobs in sectors that rely on a vibrant oil and gas industry.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government places additional taxes on the extraction of oil and gas to ensure a fair return for the nation while also supporting the industry to address genuine costs through targeted tax reliefs, such as those to encourage the safe removal of infrastructure at the end of a field\u2019s life.<\/p>

In response to the pandemic, the Government provided an unprecedented business rates holiday for eligible retail, hospitality and leisure properties in England, including pubs. This meant eligible properties paid no business rates for 15 months from 1 April 2020, and thanks to the new 66% capped relief which took effect on 1 July 2021, over 90% of eligible businesses are estimated to see a 75% reduction in their business rates bill across this entire financial year to next April.<\/p>

The Government\u2019s levelling up agenda aims to spread opportunity and investment across every region and nation of the UK. We are delivering this pledge by boosting jobs, wages and prospects for all communities.<\/p>

At the Budget, the Government announced additional funding for skills and job support, 8 Freeports that will be national hubs for trade, innovation and commerce and the launch of the first round of the £4.8bn Levelling Up Fund, to invest in local infrastructure and support economic recovery.<\/p>

Furthermore, in light of Covid-19, the Government has introduced unprecedented support for businesses, households and workers, and local economies across the UK \u2013 protecting jobs and livelihoods against the current economic crisis. As of 14 July 2021, there have been 11.6 million unique jobs supported by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) since its inception, including 472,800 jobs in Wales. A total of 1.3 million employers have made a claim through the CJRS since it started in March 2020, totalling £67.4 billion in claims.<\/p>

The Treasury committed to reforming Small Brewers Relief (SBR) and our review of SBR is ongoing. A technical consultation was launched in January this year to help inform the Government\u2019s review. The consultation document provides further information on the Government\u2019s assessment of changes and we are currently analysing the responses.<\/p>

The Treasury believes that reducing the starting taper from 5,000 to 2,100 hectolitres (880,000 pints a year to 370,000 pints a year) strikes a balance between guaranteeing the full value of the relief for truly small breweries, while providing those between the 2,100 to 5,000 hectolitres threshold a smoother transition to the main duty rate. Officials are continuing to work closely with HM Revenue and Customs to deliver a relief that is sustainable and supports brewers of all sizes in the long-term.<\/p>

The Government has made it clear that changes to SBR will not come into effect until at least January 2022. We will consider the state of the industry as it recovers from Covid-19, and the need to provide sufficient time for brewers to adapt, before making any changes.<\/p>
