Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many households with children using pre-payment meters are in arrears.
The Secretary of State has set out to the House that protecting customers, particularly the most vulnerable, has been the Government’s priority during the peak in wholesale gas prices.
Households with prepayment meters continue to be protected by the CMA Prepayment Meter Price (PPM) Cap, which was extended in April 2021.
