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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of delivering public information broadcasts on the most efficient ways to conserve energy in order to reduce (a) household bills and (b) energy consumption.

The Government’s public information campaign, Help for Households, aims to increase public awareness of the support available to help with the cost of living, including government financial support to help with energy bills this winter.

The campaign website explains the support available, including the Energy Price Guarantee and Energy Bills Support Scheme. It also provides a tool launched earlier this year to provide homeowners with energy efficiency recommendations that could help save hundreds of pounds a year on bills. It recommends some simple actions people may not be aware of which could help to save money.
