Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the cost of reopening the Ensus bioethanol plant.

The costs associated with this intervention have been independently verified and are commercially sensitive. The Department’s Annual Report and Accounts will record the expenditure incurred with Ensus and disclosures surrounding the expenditure incurred will reflect the materiality of the arrangement to the Department’s accounts, as is required by International Financial Reporting Standards.
