Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) (Jointly with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Department has not made a formal estimate of the likely number of appeals or reviews following initial eligibility decisions under the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme (BICS), as this will depend on the decisions on individual applications.
The Department has published initial information on the appeals and review process in its business guidance.
