The Government uses the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration data and analysis on migrant and refugee flows. The objective of the EU-Turkey deal is to stop irregular migration from Turkey and focus support on the majority of migrants and refugees who remain in the region near their homes. This is where we target a significant amount of UK support. We have pledged more than £2.3 billion in response to the Syrian conflict. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 29/03/2016 14:42:11 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2016 answer text <p>In winter 2014/151 around 11.6% of the electricity generated in the UK was sourced from wind.2 Along with other forms of low-carbon generation, this helps put downward pressure on wholesale electricity prices, helping to offset some of the costs of supporting renewable generation on final energy bills. DECC estimates that wholesale electricity prices were around £1/MWh lower (equivalent to £5 lower for an average household energy bill) in 2014 than they would have been in the absence of policies to support investment in low-carbon generation, and reduce electricity demand. In 2020, wholesale electricity prices are estimated to be around £4/MWh lower (or £12 lower for an average household energy bill) than they would be in the absence of the same policies.3</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em><strong>[1]</strong></em><em> Defined as the period Q4 2014 to Q1 2015</em></p><p><em>2</em><em> Source: DECC Energy Trends</em></p><p><em>3</em><em> All figures are real 2014 prices.
