Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy what assessment he has made of the potential effects on the small-scale renewables industry of introducing (a) tax incentives, (b) government-backed loans and (c) removal of EU tariffs on imported solar panels after April 2019.

We are considering options for small-scale low-carbon generation beyond 2019, and a consultation on the Feed-in-Tariffs scheme will be published in due course.
