No steps have been taken to counter the recent rise in meat prices. The rise in prices reflects the market. DEFRA routinely monitors trends in the affordability of food, looking at both domestic retail food price inflation (as measured by the consumer price index) and changes in the factors that drive domestic retail food price inflation.

We have made no assessment of this. We therefore cannot say whether high retail meat prices are causing increased thefts of meat.

Following the recent announcement by my right honourable friend the Deputy Prime Minister, all the major energy suppliers have committed to help energy consumers get the best deal, including the provision of information for those nearing the end of fixed-term deals and annual communications to all customers telling them what the best tariff is for them and how to get it.
In addition, in 2009 Ofgem introduced new rules to prevent unfair price differentials, such as those between different payment methods or groups of customers.
Ofgem has reported on the effectiveness of these changes and also proposed further protections for consumers as part of their retail market review. We support Ofgem's actions in tackling unjustified tariff premiums to ensure consumers do not lose out. A copy of the full Ofgem Retail Market Review—Findings and Proposals is available online at: http://www.ofgem.gov.uk/Markets/RetMkts/rmr/Documents1/RMR_FINAL.pdf.

We do not, therefore, believe it appropriate to disclose this advice (or any summary of it). The Government is currently in discussions with the EU Commission on this issue.

The Government have actually used about £4 billion of Budget money to keep petrol prices down. They are about 6p lower than they would be under Labour's plans. Let me update the hon. Gentleman and the House on the issue of the fuel strike. It now looks as if there will be longer before a strike could take place. I am determined that we use that time to ensure that every piece of resilience is in place. The plans we inherited would have allowed the military to provide perhaps 10% of our fuel needs. We have now managed to lift that to about 60% or 70%. We are in a much better place now because of the proper emergency planning that this Government have done, as opposed to the Labour party, which just crosses its fingers and hopes for the best from the trade unions.
I will certainly do that. I have written to Maud to congratulate her on this fantastic milestone, and I am sure that as she speeds past Usain Bolt, she will turn round and reflect that the only way is Essex.

The pricing of stamps, including proposals for discounts, is an operational matter for the company. However, Ministers were informed of the plans and kept updated on progress.Details of official meetings are published on the BIS website at:"http://www.bis.gov.uk/transparency"

Gas prices in Europe and Asia are higher than those in the US, which commentators have attributed mainly to the impact of the large-scale development of shale gas in the US. The Government are examining the potential barriers to investment in gas-fired electricity generation in the UK and the role gas can play in delivering a secure and affordable low-carbon electricity supply. That would include examining the potential role of shale gas in the UK. The Government, including the Treasury, DECC and other Departments, are working together and will shortly issue a call for evidence to inform our strategy for gas generation, which we will publish in the autumn.

The drug tariff sets out payments to dispensing contractors for providing national health service pharmaceutical services. Not all contractors can readily access the drug tariff on-line whilst dispensing without disrupting their workflow. Therefore, for the immediate future, contractors will continue to have the choice whether to use the paper copy or the on-line version. We will continue to reassess the situation with the possibility of publishing the drug tariff solely on-line in due course.
