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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will take steps to ensure that energy consumers with cancer are protected by a price cap.

Energy supply companies must ensure that all domestic customers are on the cheapest tariff that is in line with their preferences: that is in relation to their chosen payment method and whether they prefer a fixed term or variable tariff.
