Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has made an assessment of the potential effect on consumer (a) rights and (b) choice of the introduction of the energy bills rebate.

All domestic electricity customers in Great Britain will receive a £200 reduction in their electricity costs from this October. This will be delivered via energy suppliers and will be clearly identifiable as a line item on electricity bills.

The reduction in costs will help people with the increase in energy bills by spreading the increased costs over a few years, so they are more manageable for households.
