Commentary on provisions of Act Support for meeting energy costs etc Section 14: Procedure and reporting in connection with section 13
Subsection (2) provides that financial expenditure by the Secretary of State under Section 13(2) is subject to a financial cap set to £100 million for each individual project, unless expenditure in excess of that is agreed by the House of Commons.
	The requirement to obtain House of Commons approval can be disapplied if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the additional spending required is urgent and that it is not reasonably practicable in such circumstances to obtain the approval of the House of Commons. The Secretary of State must then lay a statement before Parliament about the spending as soon as reasonably practicable.
	Subsection (5) sets out a requirement for the Secretary of State to report on any spending under Section 13 on a quarterly basis.
