Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the role of the carbon price floor in maintaining security of electricity supply.

The Government takes into account a range of factors when considering the future direction of the Carbon Price Floor. An assessment of the wider impacts of the CPF was published in a Tax and Information Impact Note in March 2014 and can be accessed via the following the link, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/carbon-price-floor-reform.
