To ask the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the expertise available to the energy policy review. [3963]

The Prime Minister

The PIU energy policy review will draw on expertise from:

  • the energy review team led by Nick Hartley, on secondment from OXERA:
  • the advisory group chaired by the Minister for Industry and Energy;
  • Government bodies including central Departments and ECG posts; and
  • an experts group consisting of academics and other experts.

Details of the energy review team, including short biographical notes, and the full membership of the advisory group will be published on the PIU website next week. The membership of the experts group will also be posted on the website.

As the project proceeds, the review team will commission discrete research projects as required, receive submissions from key organisations and meet with stakeholders.
