answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government supports the development of new technology throughout its full technology development cycle. This starts with early-stage UKRI funding, progressing into mid to late-stage innovation funding such as the 4-year £1bn Net Zero Innovation Portfolio to demonstrate technology at pilot scale or on-site. This also includes the recently launched ARIA that focusses on high-risk disruptive innovation. Once the technology is ready for first commercial deployment the Government supports deployment through CfD auctions, and programmes like the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund. Finally, to establish an enduring marketplace for new low carbon technology the Government is developing, for example, business models for hydrogen, CCUS and greenhouse gas removal technology.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 22/09/2022 09:04:16 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>Our preference remains association to the EU programmes as agreed under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), including Horizon Europe, and we continue to do everything we can to secure this. The EU is in breach of the agreement reached under the TCA for the UK to participate in EU programmes and these unjustified delays are causing uncertainty for our research and business communities. That is why we entered into formal consultations with the EU, which are a mechanism set out in the TCA to resolve issues between the UK and the EU.</p><p> </p><p>At the UK-EU Specialised Committee meeting on 22 September, which marked the end of the consultations period, the UK once again requested that the EU fulfil its obligation to finalise the UK’s association to EU Programmes. It is regrettable that the EU continues to decline this request. The UK government is now considering next steps. Our priority is to support the UK’s world leading R&amp;D sector and we have already outlined potential options for doing so.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 28/09/2022 09:28:56 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
