Ofgem price cap shows govt can cut bills in April
27 Feb 2023
Responding to this morning's Ofgem announcement that the energy price cap has been reduced to £3,280 for the average household, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:
"This confirms the government could easily afford to reduce energy bills in April instead of increasing them.
"People are already struggling to afford their rents and mortgages, food shopping and bills.
"It is unforgivable that the Conservatives are choosing to push desperate families over the edge by hiking their energy bills by another £500.
"Ministers must listen to our calls for an energy rescue package to save families and businesses from this cost of living cliff-edge, funded through a proper windfall tax.
