Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to encourage utilities providers to offer discounts to customers purchasing two or more utilities from a company.

In Great Britain, it is a commercial decision for individual energy supply companies as to whether to offer incentives for consumers to purchase more than one of their services. In Northern Ireland, energy policy is largely a devolved matter. The UK Government is working to ensure the resumption of stable devolved government in North Ireland.
