answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>How suppliers choose to set the standing charge and unit rate is a commercial decision. However, the default tariff cap, set by Ofgem, puts a limit on the unit rates and standing charges that suppliers can charge for their default tariffs.</p><p>In August 2022, Ofgem reviewed the components of the standing charge to see if they could be reduced. Ofgem concluded that, if the methodology for the standing charge were to change, there are numerous high consuming, vulnerable users, such as disabled users, who would pay more. Therefore, retaining the current methodology protects vulnerable users with greater energy needs.</p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 10/07/2023 15:21:20 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway

The closer to the point of imposition the greater the proportion will be that remains outstanding as many offenders will be paying by instalments.</p><p> </p><p>HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Total collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012/13 and collection has continued to rise in this financial year.</p><p> </p><p>HMCTS are actively seeking an external provider for the future delivery of compliance and enforcement services. This will bring the necessary investment and innovation to significantly improve the collection of criminal financial penalties and reduce the cost of the service to the taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 02/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
