Matt Western (in the Chair)
Order. I remind hon. Members to refer to each other as “the hon. Member” as opposed to “you”.
Joy Morrissey
I welcome the hon. Member’s contribution. It is wonderful to hear his commitment to the climate change emergency. We need to move forward as a country to make sure that our energy costs remain low. We did not commit to a £300 reduction in energy prices, nor did we commit to scrapping the winter fuel payment for pensioners. We went into the election without making those promises. I am simply holding the Government to account right now.
