The Green Investment Bank (GIB) has helped finance energy efficiency improvements at two distilleries in Scotland and expects to finance similar projects at further distilleries soon. GIB has also financed introduction of energy efficient lighting at NCP car parks across the UK, including a number located in Scotland, and GIB is in advanced discussions with Glasgow City Council to finance replacement of 10,000 old street lights in Glasgow with energy efficient LED lights, with the longer term aim of replacing up to 50,000 lights across the city. Full details about projects supported by GIB may be found on the bank's website at www.greeninvestmentbank.com<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p>"}

Like the OFT, the CMA is an independent authority, and therefore has complete discretion to investigate those cases, which, according to its prioritisation principles, it considers most appropriate.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> In the case of the private motor insurance industry, the CMA is already conducting a market investigation, and on 12 June set out for consultation its proposed changes to the market. These include a cap on the charges to the insurer of an at-fault driver in an accident for the cost of providing a replacement vehicle to the non-fault driver; better information for consumers; and a ban on price parity agreements between price comparison websites and insurers. Further details are available via this link to the CMA press release:https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-sets-out-changes-for-private-motor-insurance<\/a><\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
