The Government is considering the recommendations in the Hendry Review and the issues which arise from a broader programme. Government will require a period of time to assess the merits of such a programme and determine what is in the best interest of the UK energy consumer and taxpayer in the long term, and will publish its response to the Hendry Review in due course.
