	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK and EU negotiating teams have reached agreement that common rules will remain in place during an implementation period that will start on 29 March 2019 and last until 31 December 2020. During this implementation period UK citizens will be able to open businesses in the Netherlands as they do now.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government values and recognises the important role that the Post Office plays in communities across the UK. This is why we committed in our 2017 Manifesto to safeguarding the Post Office network and protect existing rural services.</p><p>In 2016 the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy commissioned independent research to understand and quantify the value that people and businesses place on the Post Office network. The study (The Social Value of the Post Office Network by YouGov and London Economics) found the estimated social value of the Post Office network to be over £4 billion. The importance of branches to local communities is further supported by Association of Convenience Stores research (The Local Shop Report 2018) that found that the Post Office is recognised as having the ‘most positive impact on a local area’ and is the ‘third most wanted service’.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 30/11/2018 12:14:35 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2018 answer text <p>In the Clean Growth Strategy, we set out our aspiration that as many homes as possible will be upgraded to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Band C by 2035, where practical, cost effective and affordable. To do this we have:</p><ol><li>Called for evidence on Building a Market for Energy Efficiency, particularly focusing on measures to improve the energy performance of owner-occupied homes. Following an evaluation of the responses, we will publish an action plan setting out additional, market-based measures to encourage homeowners to take up energy efficiency.</li><li>Launched six local demonstration projects, across the country, which will address the non-financial barriers to deeper retrofit, such as supply chain fragmentation and the high hassle costs of installing measures.</li><li>Launched a new digitally led Simple Energy Advice. The service provides impartial and tailored advice on how homeowners can reduce energy bills and make their homes warmer.</li><li>Launched a new quality mark for home energy improvements which will help provide consumers with greater confidence in the quality of installation measures.</li><li>Announced that we would extend support for home energy efficiency out to 2028 at least at the current level of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) funding. ECO is funded at £640 million per annum (2017 prices, rising with inflation), and we are taking steps to focus that scheme on those in fuel poverty.</li></ol> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 30/11/2018 11:50:05 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
