answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2014 answer text <p>I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.</p><p>The WaterSure tariff lowers the bills of low-income, metered customers that have unavoidably high water use. WaterSure is provided by all water companies in England to qualifying customers and caps their water bills at the average for their region. WaterSure customers will continue to benefit from the scheme when their qualifying benefit or tax credit is replaced by Universal Credit. The WaterSure tariff is funded through cross subsidy between water customers; there is no cost to the public purse.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 03/07/2014 12:21:21 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson
