Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 24 April 2012 in the House of Commons, by Chloe Smith (Conservative), Treasury.

Growth Strategy

Answer: The Treasury supports electricity market reform, as I think the hon. Gentleman knows. He will also know that we have also laid out our support for energy-intensive industries. I have no doubt that he will be able to direct questions about programming to the Leader of the House.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Tuesday, 24 April 2012 by Albert Owen (Labour).

Question: Energy prices and uncertainty surrounding the support for low-carbon energy, alongside uncertainty about electricity market reform, are causing some companies to reassess their business plans in this country. Can the Minister assure us that the Chancellor and the Treasury will support market reform in the next Session of this Parliament and ensure that the subsidies are in place to get the jobs and prosperity that the country needs?
