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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department has made an estimate of the number of people who will see a reduction in their fuel bills as a result of the price cap in the Wolverhampton North East constituency.

The Department collects tariff data on households based on the 14 geographical, Public Electricity Suppliers regions. As such the department cannot provide estimates at a lower, local level.

Parliament has passed legislation to introduce the energy price cap, protecting up to 11 million households on standard variable and default tariffs. Ofgem are consulting on a price cap, which will save some consumers up to £138.
