In the Budget 2016 we announced that we would spend an extra £40 million per year on maintenance until the end of the Parliament. These commitments mean that we are spending over £1 billion on maintenance this Parliament. This is an increase of 29% above spending on maintenance in the previous Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>We have assessed that this spending achieves an optimal balance between capital and maintenance spending.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey grouped question UIN 50257 question first answered 31/10/2016 11:41:33 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2016 answer text <p>The Department has not made any estimate of the average additional annual costs to domestic consumers who do not pay by direct debit or receive an electronic water bill.</p><p> </p><p>Water companies in England and Wales do not generally differentiate between customers that pay their water bill by direct debit or access their account online, and those that choose paper billing and annual payment. We are aware of two (Northumbrian Water and United Utilities) that offer an annual discount of £7 and £5 respectively. These discounts are not cross subsidised but reflect the value of the cost saving to companies and customers. These discounts are also an incentive to encourage greater sign up as there are benefits for both the customer and the company.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 31/10/2016 12:45:35 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
