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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps the Government plans to take to ensure that reductions in energy bills do not affect commitments to emissions reductions.

This Government is committed to tackling climate change and to the UK’s Climate Change Act. On average, Government policies reduce household energy bills because energy efficiency measures mean that less energy is used, more than offsetting the costs other policies add to energy bills.
