Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make it her policy to introduce an emergency energy tariff.

The Government recognises the challenges posed by the cost-of-living pressures, including energy bill costs, and is already providing extensive financial support. This includes a package of support worth £104 billion, or £3,700 per household on average, between 2022-2025.

The Government is continuing to support those most in need, with millions of vulnerable households receiving up to £900 in cost-of-living payments. This is in addition to established financial support for vulnerable households through the Winter Fuel Payment, which delivered £250 - £600, and the £150 Warm Homes Discount. We are continuing to monitor the situation and keeping options under review.
