- Meeting date: 16 December 2015
Your Deputy Mayor for Energy recently wrote to the Treasury highlighting the "unintended consequences" of ending tax relief for community energy schemes and called for a "light-touch approach" to be taken. However, this request has been completely ignored, and the Chancellor confirmed in his Autumn Statement that the Treasury has now removed Enterprise Investment Scheme tax relief on community energy projects. In MQ 2015/1003 in March 2015 you stated that you would review how the London Green Fund could support community energy projects. Can you provide an update on this action?
