My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) published a draft Bill to put a price cap on standard variable and default tariffs – meeting Government’s manifesto promise and bringing an end to unjustifiably high prices.

We will ask the BEIS Select Committee to undertake pre-legislative scrutiny.
