Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he plans to introduce an energy price cap.
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.
