answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2016 answer text <p>Alpha is the new Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme, which now applies to the vast majority of Civil Servants (including prison officers). Only those who are close to retirement have been able to remain in previous schemes or to defer entry to the Alpha scheme. This has always been made transparent and is considered fair as this group of staff are likely to have already started to make plans for their retirements which would be unduly impacted by a change in arrangements at this stage. There are therefore no plans to make such an assessment.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 29/02/2016 10:31:31 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

During 2015, 3.8 million domestic customers switched electricity supplier and 2.8 million customers switched gas supplier.</p><p> </p><p>The Competition and Markets Authority are nearing the end of their enquiry into the energy markets. We are determined to do whatever it takes to ensure markets work well for consumers.</p><p> </p><p>In the meantime, the Department will be working with Ofgem, the Ombudsman Service and Citizens Advice to make sure that the consumer complaints services are working for consumers and identifying systemic industry wide problems to improve customer service.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 26/02/2016 14:00:11 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
