- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the Autumn Statement published on 17 November 2022, when the Government will set out its position on introducing a social tariff for energy.
- Answer
-
The Autumn Statement set out a commitment to work with consumer groups and industry to consider the best approach to consumer protection, including options such as social tariffs, as part of wider retail market reforms. Discussions with stakeholders are ongoing.
The Government will set out its position when the assessment of the options is complete, in time to deliver a new approach from April 2024. No decision on whether or when to conduct a formal consultation has been made, but the Code of Practice on Consultation sets out the approach the Government will take when it has decided to conduct a consultation.
