uin	122883
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2022 answer text <p>Domestic energy customers will receive the discount regardless of their type of payment method. There are a number of different options for those on pre-payment meters to receive the £200 reduction on their energy bills this autumn.</p><p> </p><p>37 per cent of pre-payment customers have remotely accessible smart meters and therefore will be able to receive the smoothing reduction automatically. For the 63 per cent who do not have remotely accessible smart meters (2.6 million households, or less than 10 per cent of overall households), they can receive their reduction via either a voucher issued via email/post, a Special Action Message (SAM) to outlets where a customer normally tops up, or via a cheque in the post. The Coalition Government took the same approach with their Electricity Rebate Scheme in 2013.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) will work closely with industry and consumer groups on how best to deliver this policy, including through a public consultation in the Spring.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 21/02/2022 14:44:05 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

uin	119904
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2022 answer text <p>Further to my oral statement on Monday 31 January (<em>column 46</em>), crime, excluding fraud and computer misuse, is down by 17% since June 2019 according to the latest official statistics. That is why we are also determined to tackle the threat of fraud and economic crime. Action we have already taken includes: publishing a landmark Economic Crime Plan; creating a new National Economic Crime Centre; introducing new powers for law enforcement, such as unexplained wealth orders; committing £400 million over the next three years to crack down on economic crime; implementing a public register of overseas beneficial company ownership - the first major economy in the world to do so; and committing to a register of overseas beneficial property ownership – the first country in the world to do so. And, as I said, we are committed to bringing forward an Economic Crime Bill.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 09/02/2022 09:25:08 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
