Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment she has made of the potential effect on industry of delaying the British Industry Supercharger scheme.

Since the British Industry Supercharger was announced in February, the government is working to deliver it without delay. A consultation on the Capacity Market exemption concluded on 29 June and a response will be issued in due course, whilst the Network Charging Compensation Scheme is subject to ongoing consultation through to 24 August 2023. It continues to be our expectation that all the measures comprising the Supercharger package be rolled out sequentially between April 2024 and April 2025.
