The Ministry of Fuel and Power Statistical Digest was previously published as a Command Paper, the first being that for the years 1938 to 1943, published in July 1944 (Cmd. 6538). A publication tracing the history of energy production and use over the past 60 years was produced in 2009 to mark the 60th anniversary of DUKES. The publication is available at: www.gov.uk/government/collections/digest-of-uk-energy-statistics-dukes II The current issue updates the figures given in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s (BEIS) Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics 2016, published in July 2016. III This publication consists of seven chapters and four annexes. The first chapter deals with overall energy. The other chapters cover the specific fuels, renewable sources of energy and combined heat and power. The annexes cover conversion factors and calorific values, a glossary of terms, further sources of information and major events in the energy industries. IV Some additional information appears on the internet. The tables on the internet are provided in Microsoft Excel format. Most internet versions of the tables include data for earlier years, which are not provided in this publication. For example commodity and energy balances (see VII and VIII, below) for 1998 to 2013 are included on the internet, and tables that show five years in this publication show nineteen years in their internet form because page sizes are not a limiting factor. In addition, the following appear on the internet: Long term trends tables Major events from 1990 to 2017 - Annex D (only Major events for 2015 to 2017 appear in this publication) Energy and the environment – Annex E UK oil and gas resources - Annex F Foreign trade – Annex G Flow charts – Annex H Energy balance: net calorific values – Annex I Heat reconciliation – Annex J V Annual information on prices is included in the publication Energy Prices. The data are also available on the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) section of the GOV.UK website. Further information on these publications can be found in Annex C. VI Where necessary, data have been converted or adjusted to provide consistent series. However, in some cases changes in methods of data collection have affected the continuity of the series. The presence of remaining discontinuities is indicated in the chapter text or in footnotes to the tables. VII Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 contain production and consumption of individual fuels and are presented using commodity balances. A commodity balance illustrates the flows of an individual fuel through from production to final consumption, showing its use in transformation (including heat generation) and energy industry own use. Further details of commodity balances and their use are given in Annex A, paragraphs A.7 to A.42.

  • The Homelessness Monitor: England 2016
    The homelessness monitor: England 2016 Suzanne Fitzpatrick, Hal Pawson, Glen Bramley, Steve Wilcox and Beth Watts, Institute for Social Policy, Housing, Environment and Real Estate (I-SPHERE), Heriot-Watt University; Centre for Housing Policy, University of York; City Futures Research Centre, University of New South Wales Executive Summary January 2016 The homelessness monitor 2011-2016 The homelessness monitor is a longitudinal study providing an independent analysis of the homelessness impacts of recent economic and policy developments in England. It considers both the consequences of the post-2007 economic and housing market recession, and the subsequent recovery, and also the impact of policy changes. This fifth annual report updates our account of how homelessness stands in England in 2016, or as close to 2016 as data availability allows. It also highlights emerging trends and forecasts some of the likely future changes, identifying the developments likely to have the most significant impacts on homelessness. While this report focuses on England, parallel homelessness monitors are being published for other parts of the UK.

    TRANSITION Meeting Britain’s energy BY needs together CONSENT Cameron Tait p post ABOUT THE FABIAN SOCIETY The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. It aims to promote greater equality of power and opportunity; the value of collective public action; a vibrant, tolerant and accountable democracy; citizenship, liberty and human rights; sustainable development; and multilateral international co-operation. Through a wide range of publications and events the society influences political and public thinking, but also provides a space for broad and open-minded debate, drawing on an unrivalled external network and its own expert research and analysis. Its programme offers a unique breadth, encompassing national conferences and expert seminars; periodicals, books, reports and digital communications; and commissioned and in-house research and comment. The Society is alone among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation, with almost 7,000 members. Over time our membership has included many of the key thinkers on the British left and every Labour prime minister. Today we count over 200 parliamentarians in our number. The voluntary society includes 70 local societies, the Fabian Women’s Network and the Young Fabians, which is itself the leading organisation on the left for young people to debate and influence political ideas. The society was one of the original founders of the Labour party and is constitutionally affiliated to the party. We are however editorially, organisationally and financially independent and work with a wide range of partners from all political persuasions and none.

  • Greencoat UK Wind PLC Prospectus April 2016
    GREENCOAT UKWIND Greencoat UK Wind PLC Prospectus April 2016 c111997CCL_COVER.pdf 1 15/04/2016 23:52:04 SUMMARY Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as ‘Elements’. These elements are numbered in Sections A – E (A.1 – E.7). This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of security and issuer. Because some Elements are not required to be addressed there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may be required to be inserted into the summary because of the type of security and issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of ‘not applicable’. Section A – Introduction and warnings Element Disclosure Disclosure requirement A.1 Warning This summary should be read as an introduction to the Securities Note and Registration Document (together with this summary, the Prospectus). Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the Prospectus as a whole by the investor. Where a claim relating to the information contained in a prospectus is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might, under the national legislation of the Member States, have to bear the costs of translating such prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated. Civil liability attaches only to those persons who have tabled the summary including any transaction thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of the prospectus or it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the prospectus, key information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest in such securities.
