We have not modelled the effect of Universal Credit at constituency level. On average, it works out at around 400 extra people in work in each parliamentary constituency, but UC will have a larger impact in areas with higher proportions of benefit claimants or a higher prevalence of single parents and out-of-work families.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 13/11/2017 14:59:07 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2017 answer text <p>Network costs are now 17 per cent lower than at the time of privatisation (excluding inflation). Operating efficiency has increased, for example, real unit operating expenditure has fallen by approximately 5.5 per cent, per annum across the electricity distribution networks since privatisation. Capital investment in the electricity networks is higher on average than the period immediately prior to privatisation. The improvements this paid for have reduced power cuts by around 40 per cent since 2002. There are also record levels of customer satisfaction with local electricity and gas distribution networks.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 01/11/2017 16:01:14 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
