The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nigel Adams on 2016-05-05.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of the closure of coal-fired power stations on (a) job losses and employment trends in the energy sector and (b) power generation; and what plans her Department has to mitigate those losses.
Andrea Leadsom
Coal is the most carbon intensive form of electricity generation and is not consistent with our decarbonisation plans, which is why the Secretary of State has announced an intention to consult on ending unabated coal generation by 2025.
The Capacity Market is designed to bring forward the capacity we need as older plant such as coal come of the system. On 6 May 2016 we announced changes to the Capacity Market to buy more capacity and earlier; tighten the sanctions on those who fail to deliver on their obligations; and bolster energy security in the short–term by holding a new auction bringing forward the first Capacity Market delivery year to 2017/18.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Sharkey on 2016-09-14.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the absence of proposals in the Neighbourhood Planning Bill, whether they still plan to put the National Infrastructure Commission on a statutory basis; if so, when, and if not, why not.
Lord O’Neill of Gatley
To allow the Neighbourhood Planning Bill to focus on essential planning measures, legislation for the National Infrastructure Commission has not be included at this time.
The Commission is an important part of the government’s overall approach on infrastructure and has already made a significant impact through its first three reports.
We remain fully committed to the Commission which has a crucial role to play in setting out the country’s infrastructure priorities. We are considering how it can best support the government’s new industrial strategy.

To ask the hon. Member for Broxbourne, representing the Speaker’s Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, what discussions the Committee has had with IPSA on the reissuing of the P11D forms for hon. Members for 2014-15.
Mr Charles Walker
I have received confirmation from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority that in 2014-15, an error with the mail merge used to create P11Ds resulted in incorrect forms being sent to Members.
I understand from IPSA that they have taken steps to improve the quality checking process, and that staff will receive additional training in the production of P11Ds. In the longer term, IPSA is planning improvements to its information management systems which should reduce the likelihood of data discrepancies, like the one that led to this incident, occurring.
