To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment he has made of the number of domestic renewable heat incentive applications received since April 2014; and how many such applications have been turned down because they did not meet minimum insulation standards.
Gregory Barker
Since the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme launched on 9 April this year, up until the end of May, Ofgem had received 2,296 applications to join the scheme.
Whether or not an application meets the minimum insulation standard is determined using information from the Energy Performance Certificate of the property. Currently, Ofgem do not record data on applicants that are not eligible for the scheme due to not meeting minimum insulation standards, as this check precedes an applicant completing a full application.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate he has made of the total amount of gas consumed in (a) England, (b) Scotland, (c) Wales and (d) Northern Ireland in each month since June 2010.

Gas consumption estimates for Great Britain are based on annualised meter consumption readings supplied to DECC by energy companies. Monthly estimates are not available.
Annual data is also available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/sub-national-gas-consumption-data.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what estimate he has made of his Department’s consumption in kWh of (a) gas and (b) electricity in each month since June 2010; and what the cost of such consumption has been in each such month.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tom Greatrex on 2014-07-15.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate he has made of total gas storage capacity in (a) England, (b) Wales, (c) Scotland and (d) Northern Ireland; and how much such capacity is (i) short range storage and (ii) long range storage.
Matthew Hancock
Total gas storage capacity in England is 4.63bcm. This includes the 3.3bcm Rough facility located in the Southern North Sea. In addition, there are two projects currently under construction in England which will bring full gas storage capacity to 5.13bcm when completed.
There are no gas storage facilities currently located in Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland.
Of the existing gas storage capacity, 3.3bcm (the Rough facility) is long range and 1.33bcm is short range. The two projects currently under construction, totalling 0.5bcm, are both short range facilities.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tom Greatrex on 2014-06-26.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of his Department’s consumption in kWh of (a) gas and (b) electricity in each month since June 2010; and what the cost of such consumption has been in each such month.
Brandon Lewis
Under this Government, the DCLG Group has made considerable financial savings in energy consumption, reducing its greenhouse emissions by 54 per centre from 2009-10 to 2013-14, saving £1 million comparing 2009/10 energy costs to 2013-14, through energy efficiency measures and better procurement practices.
I would note that under the last Administration, the Department’s main building (Eland House, Victoria) was one of the least energy-efficient buildings in Whitehall, despite it being the lead Department on energy efficiency standards in buildings. In June 2011, the building was awarded a ‘D’ grade display energy certificate, having improved from a notional ‘G’ grade in 2006-07.
It is not possible to provide meaningful comparable monthly figures since June 2010, as (a) from 2011, the residual parts of the Government Office for the Regions estate became part of the core DCLG estate, (b) due to billing credits following consumption estimates by suppliers, (c) changes in consumption due to cold weather and (d) additional consumption due to empty office space being sub-let to third-party tenants, generating income to save taxpayers’ money.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tom Greatrex on 2014-07-15.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment he has made of the quantity of gas imported to the UK through the (a) Bacton-Zeebrugge pipeline and (b) the St Fergus-Frigg/Heimdal pipeline in each month since June 2010.
Matthew Hancock
The Department publishes monthly statistics back to January 2000 on gas imports to the UK within Energy Trends table 4.4. The table includes the quantity of gas imported to the UK through the Bacton-Zeebrugge Interconnector and the Vesterled pipeline to St Fergus Frigg sub terminal. The latest version of Energy Trends table 4.4 can be accessed here:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate he has made of the number of films made in the UK as co-productions with foreign companies in each year since 1997.
Mr Edward Vaizey
The number of films made in the UK as co-productions with foreign companies is recorded in the BFI’s Statistical Yearbook and set out in the following table. Data is not available for the period before 2002 and does not include the numbers of inward investment which are substantially financed and controlled from outside the UK and which are attracted to the UK by factors including the UK’s filmmaking infrastructure and film tax relief. An international co-production is where a film is produced by more than one production company from more than one country.
