Consumers: Prices
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he has any plans to address the loyalty penalty in essential markets.
- Answer
-
The Government is committed to addressing penalties for those who are on the poorest value tariffs and the detriment found by the Competition and Markets Authority, which is why we have published the draft Domestic Gas & Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill for pre-legislative scrutiny.
The Government will also issue a Consumer Green Paper in due course that tackles areas where markets are not working for consumers and businesses.
