Henry Bellingham – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Henry Bellingham on 2015-02-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate he has made of how many families with children are currently in debt to their energy companies.

Matthew Hancock

The Department does not hold information on how many families with children are in debt to their energy companies.

Ofgem closely monitors domestic energy suppliers’ performance and publishes information in relation to debt owed by domestic electricity and gas accounts holders in Great Britain, but they do not publish data relating to families with children.
