This Government remains steadfast in its commitment to the Belfast Agreement including the principle of consent governing Northern Ireland\u2019s constitutional position. It is on that basis that Northern Ireland is and remains a full and integral part of the United Kingdom.<\/p>
<\/p>
As the Conservative and Unionist Party Northern Ireland General Election Manifesto 2017 clearly stated, \u201cwe will not countenance any constitutional arrangements - such as joint authority over Northern Ireland between the United Kingdom and Ireland - that are inconsistent with the consent principle\u201d.<\/p>

Energy policy, including heat, is devolved for Northern Ireland. Section 113 of the Energy Act 2011 contains provisions enabling the Northern Ireland Executive to make regulations to introduce and operate a RHI scheme in Northern Ireland. The GB RHI scheme is completely separate to the NI RHI scheme, with different scheme rules. Between 1990 and 2016, Northern Ireland reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 16%[1].<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has been working with Northern Ireland\u2019s Executive in areas such as the future of carbon pricing after we leave the European Union.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK Government and the Devolved Administrations (the Scottish Government; the Welsh Government; and the Northern Ireland Executive) have jointly published a consultation document on the UK\u2019s future approach to carbon pricing. The consultation plays a vital role in helping the government fulfil its commitment to carbon pricing as an effective emissions reduction tool, as outlined in the Clean Growth Strategy<\/p>
<\/p>
This is a joint consultation and the Devolved Administrations are co-authors and Government officials have worked with devolved administration\u2019s counterparts throughout the process. At ministerial level I have regular quadrilaterals and Northern Ireland is represented by senior civil servants.<\/p>
