answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2017 answer text <p>Our Embassy in Tel Aviv provided consular assistance to Mr Hawwash when he was denied entry to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian territories on 7 April. We will continue press for clarification from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the implications of the law. The UK is strongly opposed to the Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions Movement against Israel. But we believe the best way to combat this movement is through discussion rather than legislation. Ultimately it is for Israel to decide its immigration policy.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/04/2017 12:08:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will act to reduce the unit price paid by those consumers who are able to purchase electricity only from a supplier because they are not on mains gas supply and so cannot benefit from a dual fuel tariff.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of St Albans
uin	HL6827
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2014 answer text <p>The decision to offer a dual fuel discount to customers who take a gas and electricity supply from one supplier is a commercial matter for the companies concerned. The discount reflects savings made by the company by combining administrative costs of providing the two separate supplies. Dual fuel discounts typically range from £10 to £25 per year. It would not be appropriate for Government to intervene by requiring suppliers to reduce electricity prices for just one specific segment of customers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 09/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
