[MR SPEAKER in the Chair] Dr Alan Whitehead (Southampton, Test) (Lab): At a recent conference, a Treasury official, when asked about the levy control framework, said: “A priority for the next Government is to review what should Oral Answers to Questions happen after 2021.” He also said that he would hope to get clarity early in the next Parliament about what should happen, rather towards the end of it, and that: ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE “We shouldn’t sprint towards a cliff edge.” Is that the Minister’s position on the levy control framework, The Secretary of State was asked— or is she sitting there doing nothing about it?

Caroline Flint (Don Valley) (Lab): One of the technologies we provide support to is carbon capture and storage. Is Amber Rudd: We recognise the importance of keeping the Minister aware that UKIP is opposed to carbon bills down for consumers, particularly when times are capture and storage? It has described it as “expensive, difficult, but this Government’s initiatives are to help difficult and pointless”.

  • Lynton Site Visit
    Paddlesteamers, Postcards and Holidays Past SITE VISIT – LYNTON The Valley of Rocks Hotel was built in 1807 by Lynton businessman William Litson. It was as elaborately decorative inside as it was outside. Litson had made a fortune through buying Exmoor wool and having it spun locally before selling it to weavers in Barnstaple. By the 1790s, however, the the spinning trade had been mechanised, and it was no longer a profitable enterprise for Litson. Diversifying, he built the Globe Inn as a hotel, and furnished the adjoining cottages for visitors. The Valley of Rocks Hotel followed. Litson's guests included the Marchioness of Bute, and Mr Coutts the banker. It also boasted landscaped gardens with a fine view of the Bristol Channel – the perfect place for Victorian visitors to promenade in the healthy sea air. At the start of the nineteenth century, access to Lynton was not easy. An 1825 Guide to All the Watering and Sea Bathing Places said: "A few years ago this place [Lynton & Lynmouth] was known only as a fishing creek: the roads to it were impassable and the only place of public accommodation was a miserable ale house." HOTEL WARS All that changed when William Sanford of Somerset's Nynehead Court built himself a summer residence at Lynton and set about improving the roads. By 1830, too, the first steamer carrying passengers up and down the Bristol Channel was stopping off at Lynmouth and rowing visitors ashore. Suddenly Lynton and Lynmouth were very fashionable places to visit, and local businessmen were keen to keep it that way.

  • Geographies of Ageing and Disaster: Older People’S Experiences of Post- Disaster Recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand
    Geographies of ageing and disaster: older people’s experiences of post- disaster recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand Submitted by Sarah Tupper to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography In April 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract It was 12:51pm on Tuesday the 22nd of February when a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand’s South Island. This earthquake devastatingly took the lives of 185 people and caused widespread damage across Christchurch and the Canterbury region. Since the February earthquake there has been 15,832 quakes in the Canterbury region. The impact of the earthquakes has resulted in ongoing social, material and political change which has shaped how everyday life is experienced. While the Christchurch earthquakes have been investigated in relation to a number of different angles and agendas, to date there has been a notable absence on how older people in Christchurch are experiencing post-disaster recovery. This PhD research attends to this omission and by drawing upon geographical scholarship on disasters and ageing to better understand the everyday experiences of post-disaster recovery for older people. This thesis identifies a lack of geographical attention to the emotional, affective and embodied experience of disaster.
