Energy price cap: Government inaction means families and pensioners will struggle to to heat their homes again
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the changes in the energy price cap, Liberal Democrat Climate and Energy spokesperson Wera Hobhouse MP said:
“It’s a relief that global energy prices are starting to come down, but the Conservative Government’s inaction means far too many families and pensioners will be struggling to heat their homes again this winter.
“Bills will still be almost double what they were two years ago, and many families will actually be paying more than they did last winter. That is a shocking failure on the part of Conservative Ministers.
“Rishi Sunak must finally introduce a proper windfall tax on the record profits of the oil and gas giants to give families and pensioners the support they desperately need, including doubling the Winter Fuel Allowance and Warm Home Discount this Winter."
