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
