We\u2019re committed to supporting our marine energy industry.<\/p>
<\/p>
Through the European Marine Energy Centre, based in the Orkney Islands and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, we are world leaders in developing marine technologies.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have provided more support for offshore wind than any other country in the world.<\/p>
<\/p>
And we are making up to £557 million of annual support available for offshore wind, wave and tidal stream in upcoming competitive CFD allocation rounds.<\/p>

The development of renewable energy is a tremendous UK success story.<\/p>
<\/p>
Thanks to our significant investment and support, renewable capacity has quadrupled since 2010. Last year 30% of our electricity generation came from renewable sources.<\/p>

All pensioners receive £100 to £300 Winter Fuel Payments and around 1.3 million low income pensioners receive the Warm Home Discount - a £140 rebate off their bills each winter.<\/p>
<\/p>
Additionally, the recent cold weather triggered payments of £25 for qualifying households.<\/p>
<\/p>
I will be shortly consulting on how to best focus the £640mm of ECO funding onto low income households - which is intended to include elderly people living in fuel poverty.<\/p>

The Price Cap Bill will protect 11m households with 5m households already protected by the Ofgem safeguard tariff.<\/p>

Over 99% of the UK\u2019s solar PV capacity has been deployed since May 2010.<\/p>

Under the Enterprise Act 2002, Ministers can only intervene in mergers that raise public interest concerns on the grounds of national security, financial stability and media plurality.<\/p>

Public interest interventions are quasi-judicial in nature. It is important that Ministers act, and are seen to be acting impartially, on the basis of an open mind and on the evidence available.<\/p>

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) approach to acquisition is to carefully assess the choices available to achieve best value for money while meeting the needs of the UK Armed Forces. This is sometimes achieved through competition, sometimes through single source arrangements, and sometimes through collaboration, which itself may involve elements of competition.<\/p>
International organisations such as the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) will establish value for money in a similar way to the UK MOD. This can include establishing prices via competitions. They will also have similar provisions in place to those under the UK's Single Source Contract Regulations (SSCR), which includes detailed visibility of the breakdown of costs.<\/p>
The MOD seeks to ensure value for money in single source procurement through the provisions of the Defence Reform Act 2014 and the associated SSCR. Parliament enacted this legislation specifically to address some of the difficulties the MOD had previously faced in assuring value for money when undertaking single source procurement. This approach has already significantly strengthened the MOD's ability to secure value for money through single source procurement.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3910", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Guto Bebb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Aberconwy"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Guto Bebb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-13T15:51:55.063Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Defence: Procurement"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that equipment purchased via the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation or single source procurement provides value for money.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4501", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gerald Jones"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gerald Jones"} ], "uin" : "131607"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/857707", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/857707/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
