answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2018 answer text <p>The British Government remains concerned about the arbitrary arrest and continued detention without charge or trial of a number of activists involved in recent protests in Sudan. We have continually raised the issue with the Government of Sudan. While we have not seen evidence of systemic mistreatment among the general prison population in Sudan, there is considerable evidence that facilities operated by the National Intelligence and Security Services do routinely mistreat detainees. We continue to call on the Government of Sudan to release all these remaining detainees as soon as possible, and continue to make clear our expectation that all detainees will be treated in accordance with international standards. More widely, we urge the Government of Sudan to implement the recommendations of the National Dialogue that relate to limiting the powers of the National Intelligence and Security Service to arrest and detain individuals.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 02/03/2018 13:58:40 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

tabling member printed	Nic Dakin
uin	129035
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2018 answer text <p>The Bill, subject to the will of Parliament, will place a new duty on Ofgem to implement a cap on standard variable and defaults tariffs, so it does not remove an existing right of appeal. Energy companies would be able to challenge Ofgem’s decision on the setting of the cap by way of judicial review.</p><p> </p><p>The Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill is also clear that Ofgem must have regard to the need to ensure that holders of supply licences who operate efficiently are able to finance activities authorised by the licence. It would be for the independent regulator, Ofgem, to make its assessment of efficient operations. Ofgem is not required to have regard to investment projects that are outside the scope of the activities authorised by the supply licence.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 02/03/2018 11:03:07 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
