DECC Ministers and officials meet industry representatives and consumer groups on a regular basis to discuss market issues.<\/p>

In July last year, No.10 and DECC set up a joint working group with industry and consumer groups to look at ways for improving the transparency and fairness of the energy market for small businesses. At the end of 2013, the working group published the Small Business Energy Communique, an agreement with industry to make it easier for small businesses to get a better deal in the energy market.<\/p>

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has not collected any quantitative information on the number of zero-hours contracts in the UK which bar any additional employment. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) suggested, in its report Zero Hours Contracts: Myth and reality<\/em> that 9% of workers on zero hours contracts reported that they were never allowed to work for another employer when their primary employer had no work for them.<\/p>

The increase in average tax credit awards in 2012-13 can largely be explained by the removal of the \u2018Second Income Threshold\u2019 in April 2012. This policy removed a number of higher income households from the tax credit population. As higher income households generally have lower tax credits awards, the effect of removing these households increases the average award.<\/p>

The area of Huntingdonshire District Council comprises all the Huntingdon constituency and part of the North West Cambridgeshire constituency. Separate figures for the Huntingdon constituency could be provided only at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

Figures for the numbers of sales under the Help to Buy equity loan scheme as at 30 April 2014 broken down by local authority and postcode sector are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/help-to-buy-equity-loan-scheme-monthly-statistics<\/a>. I have also placed a copy of the table in the Library of the House.<\/p>

A figure for the average age of buyers in Huntingdonshire is not available because central government does not collect information on the ages of buyers under the Help to Buy equity loan scheme.<\/p>

The average annual total applicant income of the 127 households that had bought a property within the area of Huntingdonshire District Council under the Help to Buy equity loan scheme as at 31 March 2014 was £49,181. During this period, the average purchase price of properties bought under the scheme in the same area was £213,573 and the total amount of equity loan payments made by central government was £5,424,768.<\/p>

Central government does not collect figures on the numbers of applications that have been (a) successful or (b) unsuccessful under the Help to Buy equity loan scheme. A breakdown for Huntingdonshire is therefore not available.<\/p>

The Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme is a matter for the Treasury. Their most recent statistics show that the average value of the 23 properties in Huntingdonshire that had been sold under the scheme by 31 March 2014 was £162,228, and that the total value of loans supported by the scheme for these properties was £3,528,682. This information is available from Table 7 at:<\/p>

A figure for the average age of buyers in Huntingdonshire is not available because central government does not collect information on the ages of buyers under the Help to Buy equity loan scheme.<\/p>

The average annual total applicant income of the 127 households that had bought a property within the area of Huntingdonshire District Council under the Help to Buy equity loan scheme as at 31 March 2014 was £49,181. During this period, the average purchase price of properties bought under the scheme in the same area was £213,573 and the total amount of equity loan payments made by central government was £5,424,768.<\/p>

Central government does not collect figures on the numbers of applications that have been (a) successful or (b) unsuccessful under the Help to Buy equity loan scheme. A breakdown for Huntingdonshire is therefore not available.<\/p>
