Stupid question - standing charges & fixed tariffs

Apologies if this is a stupid question...when you enter a fixed tariff deal is it just the unit price of gas & electricity that is fixed or are standing charges also fixed in the deal?

    Both unit rates and standing charges are fixed.
    There are some very limited situations where things could change, typically VAT changes or the imposition of a new statutory charge of some kind, but aside from that they are fixed.
