Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he has plans to delay the compliance deadline for the 2021 UK ETS scheme, to allow the proposed consultation on free allowances time to conclude.
Answered by Greg Hands
UK Emissions Trading Scheme legislation establishes the legal requirement that the annual deadline for surrendering allowances is 30 April. This deadline is not discretionary and will not be delayed. Through both free allocation and auctions, a total of 194m allowances will have been released before the compliance deadline on 30 April, meaning that the UK ETS is well supplied to meet compliance demand.

Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that energy companies provide timely responses to consumer complaints.
Answered by Greg Hands
Energy suppliers must have a complaints process. They must reply to complaints within eight weeks. Domestic and microbusiness customers can take their complaint to the Energy Ombudsman after eight weeks if they are not satisfied with the supplier’s response. A complaint can go to the Ombudsman sooner if neither side can reach an agreement and the supplier issues a deadlock letter.
