The UK Government is already playing a leading role in improving energy access in developing countries through decentralised renewable energy. DFID\u2019s energy work is aligned with the new Global Goals, particularly Goal 7, to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. DFID\u2019s priorities for how we will achieve this include through flexible technical assistance, catalytic investments and engagement with international partners. DFID\u2019s assistance looks across the energy spectrum and covers both on-grid as well as decentralised off-grid renewable energy.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4123", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stockton South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Wharton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-10-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-10-21T11:24:26.9Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Renewable Energy"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of increasing the level of funding for decentralised renewable energy to improve access to electricity for the world's poorest people.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/304", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Roger Godsiff"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Hall Green"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Roger Godsiff"} ], "uin" : "49019"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/600629", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/600629/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK has a long commitment to improving the environment even before the EU; for example the Clean Air Act was introduced in 1956. Our strong commitment to improving air quality will continue after the UK leaves the EU.<\/p>

<\/p>

As we prepare to negotiate our exit the Government will continue to ensure the right policies are in place for a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.<\/p>

DEFRA will soon be publishing a 25 Year Environment Plan Framework, in line with our manifesto. The publication of the Framework will be a clear message on our world-leading ambition to leave the environment in a better state for future generations than we find it.<\/p>

Air quality has improved significantly in recent decades; we are working at local, national and international levels and will continue to do more.<\/p>

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) routinely carries out checks on potential contractors prior to contract award, including on criminal activity, such as convictions for tax evasion, bribery or fraud, and a review of a company's audited accounts. These enquiries are conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011.<\/p>

This process is reiterated in all competitive and single source tender documentation issued to tenderers prior to any contract award.<\/p>

Any suspicion of corruption is reported to the appropriate authority.

Earlier this month, the Prime Minister announced our plans for a Repeal Bill that will convert current EU law into domestic British law. This will give consumers, workers and businesses as much certainty as possible by maintaining the existing laws wherever practicable and desirable. Any future changes in the law will be subject to full scrutiny and proper Parliamentary debate.
