The UK’s unemployment rate is currently 4.3% and has not been lower since 1975. The employment rate in the UK stands at a joint record high of 75.3% and there are a near record 816,000 vacancies throughout the economy.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Note:</strong></p><p> </p><p>The sub-regional data is estimated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), using the Annual Population Survey.

This figure is subject to a high degree of statistical uncertainty due to very small sample sizes upon which this estimate is based. This means we cannot make a reliable comparison to the year to September 2016 estimate.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 16/04/2018 10:45:34 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>Energy network price controls are a matter for Ofgem as the independent regulator and, by law, must be set independently of Government. Government welcomes Ofgem’s recent proposals for the next set of price controls (due to start in 2021) which Ofgem estimates will save customers £5 billion over 5 years. Government expects network companies to act in the best interests of consumers and welcomes the voluntary returns that have been made by some network companies in this price control. Ofgem estimates that these will benefit customers by more than £650 million. We expect the remaining companies to follow suit.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 16/04/2018 14:36:24 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
