answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2018 answer text <p>We have considered many international models but market conditions are different to the situation in GB. The Government has introduced a Bill that requires the industry regulator to cap poor value standard variable and default tariffs. This follows the Competition and Markets Authority investigation which found that domestic customers of the Big 6 energy companies pay on average £1.4bn a year more than they would in a truly competitive market. The Bill requires Ofgem to set the cap so as to protect consumers and have regard to the need to, among other things, enable competition between suppliers and ensure suppliers can finance their licenced activities.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 28/03/2018 14:27:37 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
