answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2014 answer text <p>The remit of Ofgem is to regulate the monopoly companies that run the electricity and gas networks. There is no natural or structural monopoly for supply and distribution in off-gas grid fuels; on the contrary, it is a competitive supply market.</p><p>The Federation of Petroleum Suppliers’ Code of Practice is a binding code for their members engaged in domestic heating oil supply. Their Customer Charter also provides advice on the level of services members are expected to provide to their customers, the process for making complaints about a supplier, and advice for those with payment difficulties. The UK Liquid Petroleum Gas trade body has produced a “Vulnerable Persons Protocol” for LPG suppliers which sets out the protection embodied in contracted supply arrangements, arrangements for vulnerable customers, for customers in payment difficulties, and delivery priorities. These two sectors provide the overwhelming majority of off-grid fuel, and these trade bodies cover over 80% of the domestic heating oil used in mainland UK and 99% of bulk LPG supply.</p><p>Customers of heat networks are also technically ‘off gas grid’ (representing 2% of heat demand in buildings) and they are also benefiting from development of industry-led customer protection schemes and the introduction of heat metering and billing regulations.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 25/11/2014 14:39:54 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2014 answer text <p>The changes to ECO led to a ringfencing of support delivered to low income households up to 2015 and an extension of the overall scheme out to 2017. This additional support will take more people out of fuel poverty and improve the energy efficiency levels of all those who receive a measure. The Impact Assessment that quantified the effect of these changes showed that 10,000 fewer people would be in fuel poverty in comparison to not making any changes to ECO at all.
