The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support customers with the cost of their energy bills.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

At the Budget we committed to taking money off energy bills and we have. Ofgem has confirmed that the price cap will fall by 7% or £117 annually for the period covering April to June. The price cap for that period is fixed and will not change.

In addition to this, around 6 million families are benefitting from the expansion of the £150 Warm Home Discount, and through the Warm Homes Plan the Government is delivering the biggest investment in home upgrades in British history.
