The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Margot James)
We will certainly look carefully at the hon. Lady’s Bill. Employment protections are a priority for this Government.
Nigel Adams (Selby and Ainsty) (Con)
The financial viability of many low-carbon on-site heat and power technologies is under threat owing to the reduction in the biogas tariff. Will the Department consider a separate tariff for the new gasification technologies, rather than treating them the same as other technologies such as anaerobic digestion?
Mr Hurd
As my hon. Friend knows, the Government are reviewing how the renewable heat incentive works and have been forced to make some changes to tariffs in order to provide better value for the taxpayer’s money, but I am more than happy to sit down with him and talk about his suggestion.
