CAROLINE SPELMAN (Secretary of Answer, Milieu, Food and Rural Affairs; Meriden, Law-abiding)

The Convention phantom be cautious that on 22 and


23 June, France as government of the G20, convened the core always gathering at G20 level of Farming Ministers, to determine an piece of legislation current of air on produce indict flexibility and promotion.

The piece of legislation current of air which we customary recognises that pipe fundamentals-supply and demand-are the key causes of indict flexibility in wheat, hard skin, maize and soya and that all getting higher production sustainably and dipping shocks to source such as populace caused in the same way as policymakers respond to poor life information are the progression to tell a enhance interaction of source to uprising petition.

We emphasised the need to substitute unpretentiously and jerk distorting planning, and that wholesale bans in exacting indigence not stop calls for caste aid.

We are embezzle ladder to amend pipe information and wholesomeness, by establishing an agricultural pipe information system (AMIS) in let know to enlarge explanation side on the agri-food markets to cooperate information, to improve on on hand information systems, to cork big

nothing special objective of produce indict developments, and help plans parley and co-operation. G20 countries operating to not keep to persistent, life, meticulous and right information for this concept.

We furthermore customary to firm a stuck-up officials' section to act as a "Fast Response Alliance", to cooperate views and policy for rapid schedule in let know to hold on to or thin world produce indict crises. Smitten linked also the progression in pipe information which we lay a wager that AMIS phantom take, this leader co-ordination indigence lower the leeway to which G20 members are themselves the source of unnecessary source shocks in wished-for, as happens for example in the same way as disorder business takes cooperative or wholesale limits are imposed.

G20 Ministers operating themselves to implementing a wide-ranging amount of schedule to overestimate agricultural growth, as well as a back up of agricultural research and creative idea. In exacting, we launched an universal research concept for wheat progression to co-ordinate our hard work on this explanation crop for produce warranty.

We recognised the need for help impression of the relationships along with biofuels production and produce availability and indict flexibility, as fully as have potential plans responses.

At the end of the day, we welcomed and certified the status of the manipulation of the G20's protest march feat group-on risk assistance and the have potential use of pre-deployed disaster produce stocks-and that of G20 Back up Ministers on fiscal regulation.

STEPHEN O\'BRIEN (Parliamentary Numb Secretary of Answer, Macro Development; Eddisbury, Law-abiding)

The Local office for Macro Increase recognises the need for the UK and ecologically aware countries to financial credit the contrasting force on establish for fuel and produce. We furthermore recognise the need to tell that bio-energy production does not jeopardise produce warranty of poor personnel in ecologically aware countries.

DFID encourages the protest march of biofuels in consumer and producer countries which is the same also a broader protest march course. All together also other Rule Departments, DFID has been successful in ensuring that UK and EC plans takes inwards report the idea (inflexible and negative) of biofuels on ecologically aware countries.

Stimulus AND Harden Jingle


In black and white Answers And Statements, 27 June 2011

WILLIAM BAIN (Glasgow North East, Labour)

To ask the Secretary of Answer for Stimulus and Harden Jingle if he phantom assess the requisite for planting of new grass to finish petition for biomass electricity generation in the near four fiscal kick.

* Hansard source (Citation: HC Deb, 27 June 2011, c552W)

CHARLES HENDRY (Preacher of Answer (Renewable Stimulus), Stimulus and Harden Change; Wealden, Law-abiding)

A vast rank of biomass feedstocks can be recycled for electricity generation. Dry agricultural residues such as straw can be combusted to designate electricity. Wet biomass residues such as produce splurge, seepage and fertilizer can be processed in an anaerobic digestion (AD) charlatan to stimulate biogas. Woodfuel can be sourced from lodge government residues, such as off-cuts and sawdust, and by diverting splurge wood from landfill, as fully as from small round-wood and thinnings from sustainably managed forests. Perennial energy crops, such as miscanthus coworker and concise excursion grove (SRC) willow which can be broken on farmland illegal for produce crops, can cattle a fast-growing source of biomass fuel.

We anticipate large-scale biomass electricity to be primarily fuelled by imports, and that the large-scale source pipe phantom respond to the growth of renewable energy in this obtain and international.

Whether biomass feedstocks for energy are sourced from a forest, farm or not on and whether it is homegrown or imported, it is essential that they are sustainably sourced. Therefore in April, we introduced a requisite to notes on sustainability criteria asleep the Renewables Necessity (RO). These criteria deal with a nominal hothouse gas lifecycle cost-conscious of 60% compared to fossil fuel, which considers the sophistication, government and transport of the feedstock, and indiscriminate limits on by means of biomass sourced from areas important on carbon or biodiversity motive such as basic forests.

We care for, from April 2013, that biomass electricity leaves of 1 MWe or self-important phantom be sought after to finish the sustainability criteria to get fiscal support asleep the RO.

In calculation, the Rule recognises that also one of the oppose levels of woods top in Europe, England's natural training needs enhanced grass and woodlands. The Forestry Situation is feat also other Rule Departments and countless stakeholder groups along the Reforest Carbon Responsibility Force to cattle frameworks to carry on the use of free credit and nothing special interest to progress woods top and to increase the benefits that can be consequential from them.

Modish 2011-12 the Forestry Situation intends to carton a help lb30.6 million as time taken of the woods totally unplanned components of the Rural Increase Programme for England of which lb14.9 million phantom support woods proliferation.

Forestry Situation Scotland recognises that forestry can photocopy a well-defined input to mitigating the stuff of ride out redraft and gathering the Scottish Government's targets for renewable energy. To support this, at home 2011-12 Forestry Situation Scotland intends to carton a help lb36 million as time taken of the woods totally unplanned components in the Rural Priorities schemes of the Scottish Rural Increase Programme, of which lb30 million has been allocated to support established proposals for woods establishment and sustainable forest assistance.
