Download or read book Government Response to the Consultation on Simplifying the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme written by Great Britain: Department of Energy and Climate Change and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) is a mandatory UK-wide trading scheme designed to incentivise large public and private sector organisations to take up cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities, so helping to drive down consumption and protect energy security. The Government issued proposals (http://www.decc.gov.uk/assets/decc/11/consultation/CRC/4757-cons-simp-crc-energy-efficiency-scheme.pdf) to simplify the scheme, to make it easier and simpler for businesses to feel the benefits of using less energy, as well as supporting jobs in the energy savings industry. The 46 proposals were intended to: address stakeholder concerns about complexity and associated administrative costs; provide greater business certainty; allow for greater flexibility; reduce the reporting burden; reduce the scheme complexity; and reduce the overlap with other schemes. The proposals received broadly positive feedback and the Government intends to implement most proposals as set out in the consultation document. Eight proposals are being changed. The simplification proposals will reduce the administrative costs of participants by more than 55%, savings of some £272 million by 2030. This paper sets out the responses to each proposal, and the action the Government is taking to implement them. The majority of proposals will be implemented in the second phase of the scheme in 2014-15.
Download or read book Judicial Review written by Great Britain: Ministry of Justice and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper sets out the Government's proposals for the reform of Judicial Review. Judicial Review is a critical check on the power of the State, providing an effective mechanism for challenging the decisions of public bodies to ensure that they are lawful. The Government is concerned that the Judicial Review process may in some cases be open to abuse, such as delaying tactics, which add to the costs of public services. This paper sets out reform on three key areas: (i) The time limits within which Judicial Review proceedings must be brought; (ii) The procedure for applying for permission to bring Judicial Review proceedings; (iii) The fees charged in Judicial Review proceedings.
Download or read book Government s response to the consultation on Disability Living Allowance reform written by Great Britain: Department for Work and Pensions and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-04-04 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 6 December 2010, the Government published Disability Living Allowance reform (Cm 7984, ISBN 9780101798426) which set out its reform proposals and sought people's views. This document outlines the responses received, from both individuals and organisations, and provides further information regarding the replacement of DLA and the introduction of Personal Independence Payment for people of working age (16-64) from 2013/14. The Government will ensure that the new Personal Independence Payment remains a non-mean-tested and non-taxable cash benefit which people can spend in a way that best suits them. The aim, through the introduction of Personal Independence Payment, is to make the benefit fairer, more straightforward to administer, and for it to be easier and clearer to understand. There will be two components of Personal Independence Payment; a daily living component and a mobility component, each with a standard and enhanced rate. The Government is developing the assessment for Personal Independence Payment in collaboration with a group of independent specialists and will consider an individual's ability to carry out key everyday activities. The greatest priority in awarding the benefit will be that it goes to those individuals who are least able to carry them out. The application and administration process will be made as straightforward as possible. The Personal Independence Payment will not be extended to new or existing claims for children from 2013/14. And the proposal to withdraw the DLA mobility component from people in residential care will not now be implemented.

This book was released on 2007-06-18 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document sets out the Government's reply to the Committee's report (HCP 272-I, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780215033512) on the Government's policy proposals for changes to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 in order to update the law and regulation relating to human reproductive technologies (Cm. 6989, ISBN 9780101698924). The Committee's report argued that the creation of human-animal chimera or hybrid embryos, and specifically cytoplasmic hybrid embryos, are necessary for research purposes, under licence, and criticised the Government for not clearly setting out the areas of research practice intended to fall under the proposed legislation. The Government's response deals with all 34 of the Committee's conclusions and recommendations and finds that the Committee's report has very helpfully moved the debate on this issue forward.

HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport will continue to work closely with Network Rail and Transport for London to address detailed issues on the design of Euston station and its continued effective operation during construction
