answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>A Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) appointed through a competitive process may make a claim to recover some of the costs they incur via an industry-wide levy. None of the levy costs are met by the public purse. The recovery of any tax arrears in an insolvency is a matter for the administrators and HMRC.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is not able to make estimates of the expected costs as a result of the SoLR process. The costs of an insolvency will depend on the circumstances of each case and variables such as the number of customers, the short term costs of ensuring they continue to be supplied with energy, the settlement of customer bills and the costs absorbed by the incoming supplier. It is for Ofgem, as the expert regulator, to scrutinise the costs in any levy claim and to consult with industry and interested parties before any decision is taken to use the levy.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 21/01/2019 15:26:09 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>I would like to echo the Prime Minister’s comments to the House on Wednesday 16 January in offering my deepest condolences to President Kenyatta, the people of Kenya and all those affected by this terrible attack. We frequently review our assessment of the safety and security of British nationals, and did so directly after the terrorist attack in Nairobi on Tuesday. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office uses Travel Advice to help British nationals understand the risks within a country. No country is free from the risk of terrorism. As we state in our Travel Advice, terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Kenya. This was our advice before the attack and remains unchanged. We have a well established relationship with the Kenyan Government on Counter Terrorism and we will continue to work closely with them to tackle the threat from terrorism in the region.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 21/01/2019 14:58:10 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
