Landlords purchase energy via a negotiated commercial supply contract. Ofgem has a rule in place limiting the maximum resale price at which landlords can resell gas or electricity to their tenants.</p><p>The Government is committed to legislating within this parliament to regulate the heat networks sector. In December the Government announced that Ofgem will take on the role of regulator and have new powers to regulate prices in this sector.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 26/04/2022 16:41:15 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

We are concerned about risks to human and animal health in light of the rabies risk posed by commercial and rescue movements from Ukraine, which come through particular third countries (Belarus, Poland or Romania), given the animals are often of unknown background and disease status, unlike family pets.</p><p> </p><p>We are aware of non-compliant commercial movements from these countries which has been exacerbated by the crisis in Ukraine. We have assessed the disease risk posed to human and animals from commercial dogs, cats and ferrets who are non-complaint. We have concluded, given the already high-risk of rabies from these countries, and the additional risk of serious non-complaint commercial movements, we have taken the difficult decision to temporarily suspend commercial movements of dogs, cats and ferrets, including rescue animals, from these countries.</p><p> </p><p>This temporary safeguarding measure, ending on 14 May, will keep the public and peoples pets safe. Stopping these non-complaint commercial movements form entering the UK will also prevent vital quarantine spaces having to be reallocated from pets belonging to those fleeing Ukraine.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 25/04/2022 13:00:56 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
