The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to publish key performance indicators on the impact of Government energy support on business productivity.

Answered by Chris McDonald

The Government currently does not have any plans to publish key performance indicators on the impact of current energy support schemes on business productivity. The Government has also not measured the impact of energy support schemes on the productivity of businesses who receive this support. However, we are closely monitoring the impact of energy prices on businesses and communities caused by the instability in the Middle East.
