Energy: Prices

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to reduce the impact of energy bills on levels of personal debt.

Answer

The affordability crisis is the biggest issue facing families across the country. At the Autumn Budget we committed to taking money off energy bills to tackle the cost of living.

The Government is working closely with Ofgem, energy suppliers and consumer groups to develop a range of interventions to reduce energy debt and ensure consumers have access to effective debt advice.
