answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has considered whether shale gas production at a significant scale can be compatible with the UK’s carbon budgets. The CCC concluded that it can be compatible if certain conditions are met, which have been set out as three “tests&quot;[1]. We believe that our robust regulatory regime and determination to meet our carbon budgets means UK shale development is compatible with our goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions.</p><p> </p><p>The Climate Change Act 2008 sets a domestic target of reducing emissions by 80% by 2050 (based on 1990 levels). In October 2018, following publication of the IPCC’s 1.5°C Special Report, we commissioned the CCC’s advice on the implications of the Paris Agreement for the UK’s long-term emissions reduction targets. We expect this to be published on the 2<sup>nd</sup> of May.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.theccc.org.uk/publication/onshore-petroleum-the-compatibility-of-uk-onshore-petroleum-with-meeting-carbon-budgets/" target="_blank">https://www.theccc.org.uk/publication/onshore-petroleum-the-compatibility-of-uk-onshore-petroleum-with-meeting-carbon-budgets/</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 08/04/2019 10:14:56 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>The PAS 2035 is being developed to address systemic shortcomings in the delivery of domestic retrofit as identified in the independent Each Home Counts Review. The Department remains committed to delivering this whilst considering relevant information from other sources. The most recent Committee on Climate Change (CCC) Report UK published in February 2019 also acknowledges a persistent performance and skills gap in the retrofit industry as highlighted by the Each Home Counts Review. The Department is also taking a range of other policy action to increase deployment of energy efficiency, as the CCC have recommended.</p><p> </p><p>PAS 2035 aims to address these issues and encourage better quality delivery. PAS standards are refreshed every two years and at this point learnings from delivery and other sources, such as the CCC, will feed into developing the next iteration.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 04/04/2019 09:23:52 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
