Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of trends in household energy debt in Redditch over the last two years.

The Department has not made such an assessment and does not hold this specific data.

The independent industry regulator Ofgem monitors and reports on levels of energy debt in Great Britain, and their latest statistical release can be found here: Debt and arrears indicators | Ofgem.

Ofgem is considering a range of options to reduce energy debt in the system, and we are working closely with them to understand the impacts of different approaches on consumers.
