The report included an estimate of the impact of the package of measures for household energy bills announced at the 2013 Autumn Statement.</p><p>The report set out that the total reduction in individual household energy bills will depend on the energy supplier but estimated that, on average, this package was worth around £50 (including VAT) per household in 2014, broken down as follows:</p><p> </p><p>· A Government Electricity Rebate of £12 on household electricity bills in 2014/15 and 2015/16 delivered by energy suppliers.</p><p> </p><p>· A reduction in the cost of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO).

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>In prosecuting cases of wilful neglect by social workers, prosecutors apply the two stages of the Full Code Test, as set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors. There must be sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and a prosecution must be in the public interest. The Director of Public Prosecutions will shortly issue further guidance for prosecutors on the ill treatment or wilful neglect offences created by sections 20 and 21 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015. These provisions allow for the prosecution of, amongst others, social workers and social care providers providing formal adult social care who ill-treat or wilfully neglect individuals in their care. They add to criminal offences addressing the ill-treatment or wilful neglect of children, adults who lack capacity, and those subject to the Mental Health Act 1983.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 13/07/2015 10:34:06 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>In the last month, I have spoken to the Ethiopian, Ugandan and Kenyan foreign ministers, urging their governments to put pressure on both sides in the conflict in South Sudan to compromise and achieve a lasting peace. The UK has consistently provided support - political, technical and financial - for the peace talks led by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), together with Troika (US and Norway) partners. We welcome IGAD's recent initiative to reinvigorate the process by drawing in a range of additional regional and international partners, and have already held discussions with IGAD, the UN and key countries on this. We continue to urge IGAD to reconvene formal talks swiftly in light of the continued effects of the fighting, including the deteriorating humanitarian situation and further reports of serious human rights abuses.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 13/07/2015 14:00:21 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
