Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2022. It occurred during Backbench debate on Low-carbon Off-gas Grid Heating.


Low-carbon Off-gas Grid Heating

We have to think about the nature of that market, which I am satisfied the CMA has the ability to regulate. Although it involves an energy product,

that does not mean that Ofgem, rather than the CMA, is best positioned to provide the oversight to prevent anti-competitive practices. There is a lot of Government support for off-grid properties, as there is for on-grid ones, including the £400 payment and the £150 council tax discount in England, with Barnett consequentials for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
