The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential regulatory impact of cement and construction product manufacturers on those manufactures profitability.

Answered by Chris McDonald

The Government considers impacts on business when developing new regulations in line with Better Regulation principles. This applies to businesses within the cement and construction product manufacturing industries. While no specific assessment has been made, in any policy consultations relevant to the cement and construction product manufacturing sectors, including the British Industry Supercharger and Energy-Intensive Industries Compensation Scheme, the Government will consider the regulatory impact of any policy changes while ensuring that these schemes continue to deliver value for money.
