Energy: Prices
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help lower energy bills.
Answered by Torsten Bell
Energy bills are too high. The previous Government left Britain dependent on the roller coaster of gas prices and left families paying around £1.7 billion on their bills for their failed energy efficiency ‘ECO’ scheme
This is why we are scrapping ECO and taking some of the expensive legacy levies off bills – saving households an average £150 from April.
