The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the impact of cumulative regulatory and reporting requirements on investment in UK cement manufacturing.

Answered by Chris McDonald

No specific assessment has been made on the impact of cumulative regulatory and reporting requirements on investment in the UK cement industry, however, the Government routinely considers impacts on business when developing new regulations and reporting requirements. The Government is in regular contact with the cement industry to understand the sector’s challenges and delivers the British Industry Supercharger which supports businesses in the cement sector with electricity costs to mitigate carbon leakage and promote UK investment.
