Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he is taking further steps to support consumers in response to increases to the energy price cap.

Through the Energy Price Guarantee, the Government has ensured that consumers are not exposed to the significant increases in the price cap announced by Ofgem recently. The EPG reduces the amount a household can be charged per unit of gas or electricity. Until the end of March 2023, a typical household in Great Britain will spend around £2,500 on their energy bills. During this period households will see no significant changes to their tariffs.
