answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>The Department collects tariff level data from energy suppliers in confidence and is therefore unable to publish this at an individual company level. Aggregate data is published online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/quarterly-energy-prices" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/quarterly-energy-prices</a>. This shows that around 70% of domestic gas and electricity customers are on variable tariffs. These include standard variable and any tariff whereby the price is not fixed for a set period of time.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 17/11/2016 17:04:08 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
