Energy: Prices

Question: What steps he is taking to support people with the cost of household energy bills.

Answer

Last week this Government delivered on its promise to cap energy prices.

It now protects over 11 million households, ensuring the energy market works for all customers and saving consumers up to around £130 a year.

We continue to invest at least £640m in energy efficiency annually until 2028 and are also delivering on our smart meter programme.
