The Government is taking action to ensure there are appropriate standards in place for smart devices, essential in delivering demand side flexibility and a smarter energy system.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has sponsored the development of technical standards for devices that have high potential for domestic demand side response, called Energy Smart Appliances, through an industry-led process with the British Standards Institution. A new standard, Publicly Available Standard 1878, was published in May 2021 for heat pumps, household appliances, battery storage and Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargepoints.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has already taken action to standardise EV chargepoints. In December 2021, the Government laid the Smart Chargepoints Regulations, which will come into force on 30th<\/sup> June this year. These regulations mandate that most chargepoints sold for private use on the GB market must be smart and meet minimum device level standards.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4336", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Callanan"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Callanan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-04-25T16:03:23.813Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-04-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Electrical Goods: Standards"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Lord Callanan on 5 April (HL Deb col 1963), what plans they have to ensure the rapid development of common standards and language for (1) household appliances, (2) heat pumps, (3) electric vehicle chargers, and (4) other electrical devices, for demand-side response flexibility.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4719", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} ], "uin" : "HL7791"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1457016", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1457016/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The £10 million pilot for the Local EV Infrastructure fund is technology agnostic and encourages local authorities to provide EV charging proposals that are technically and/or commercially innovative in their approach. Proposals will be prioritised that best meet the assessment criteria, which include innovation and value for money. If a proposal includes vehicle to grid technology and is able to demonstrate strong attributes across the assessment criteria compared to other applications, it stands a good chance in the LEVI pilot competition. The assessment criteria are being tested as part of the pilot.<\/p>

In addition to the Local EV Infrastructure pilots, the Government has recently announced an £11.4 million V2X Innovation Programme, aimed at addressing barriers to enabling energy flexibility from bi-directional electric vehicle charging.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Vere of Norbiton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-04-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-04-20T12:02:09.757Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-04-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government whether vehicle-to-grid charging provision is (1) expected as part of, or (2) will be prioritised in the funding for, the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure pilots.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4719", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} ], "uin" : "HL7792"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1457017", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1457017/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.<\/p>

A response to the hon. Member\u2019s Parliamentary Question of 7 April is attached.<\/p>

Professor Sir Ian Diamond | National Statistician<\/strong><\/p>

Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
House of Lords
London

13 April 2022<\/p>

Dear Lady Bennett,
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am replying to your Parliamentary Question asking what plans the Government have to publish environmental and greenhouse gas emission figures beside the quarterly GDP figures (HL7794).<\/p>

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is planning to publish a pilot publication of climate change-related statistics on the same day as the quarterly preliminary estimate of UK Gross Domestic Product [1], scheduled for 12 May 2022. Subject to assessment of impact and feedback, the intention would be for this to become a regular quarterly publication.<\/p>

<\/p>

The ONS also produces annual estimates of residence-based greenhouse gas emissions [2]. These enable direct sectoral comparison with the national accounts. Options have been under review for a quarterly estimate of this emissions measure, and an initial methodological publication is planned for May 2022. Further progress will be informed by stakeholder and user feedback.<\/p>

Yours sincerely,<\/p>

Professor Sir Ian Diamond<\/p>

This government has taken decisive action to tackle plastic pollution. Our plastic packaging tax is driving demand for recycled plastic, whilst our planned deposit return scheme will significantly increase recycling of plastic bottles, and cut littering. On single-use plastics, we have already introduced the carrier bag charge, which has cut single-use plastic bags in large supermarkets by 95%, restricted single-use plastic straws, stirrers, and cotton buds, and banned microbeads in rinse-off personal care products. We recently consulted on going further still, and banning single-use plastic plates and cutlery as well as expanded and extruded polystyrene food and drink containers.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4062", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-04-26T12:18:04.957Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-04-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Plastics: Packaging"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the discovery of microplastics in the lungs and blood of living people, what plans they have to accelerate the phase-out of single-use plastic packaging and containers.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4719", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} ], "uin" : "HL7795"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1457020", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1457020/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
