tabling member printed	Tom Blenkinsop
uin	53364
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2016 answer text <p>The bound EU tariff rate on imports of electricity is zero. As with imports of other forms of energy, the decision on whether electricity imported into the UK should be subject to tariffs once the UK has left the EU will be for the UK alone to make. And as with other energy imports, reasons of economic competitiveness, energy security and the UK’s support for an open trade regime make it unlikely that the Government would wish to impose tariffs on electricity reaching the UK from other parts of Europe.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/11/2016 15:58:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
