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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make it his policy that the proposed changes to the subsidy regime for CHP biomass plants allow schemes pre-accredited under the Renewable Heat Incentive to continue to benefit from that scheme.

This change has been made to provide value for money for the taxpayer. It will apply to new participants on the basis of when they fully qualify for the scheme. Those who fully qualified on or after 1^st August will be subject to the change.
