answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>The Coal Mining Subsidence Act 1991 and the Coal Industry Act 1994 set out the duties on the Coal Authority in relation to coal mining subsidence and includes provisions for purchase of properties and home loss payments. Principles relating to compensation reflect similar principles referred to in other codes of practice relating to compulsory purchase procedures instigated by other public bodies. However, the Coal Authority has no compulsory purchase rights relating to subsidence. There are, however, differences in the minimum and maximum degree of compensation paid.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 01/11/2016 16:37:47 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	49665
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2016 answer text <p>Departmental officials advise that exchange rates are one of the factors which influence future energy imports and their cost. For example, the cost of importing gas is also affected by the availability and cost of a range of gas supplies, infrastructure constraints and global and regional demand. The cost of importing electricity to the UK through its interconnectors with other European countries is also influenced by the electricity generation mix in Europe, by gas, coal and carbon prices and by the level of electricity demand in the UK and other European countries.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/10/2016 11:53:40 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
