Richard Fuller – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Richard Fuller on 2014-04-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what steps he is taking to ensure that all customers receive the full benefit of reductions in levies on energy bills.

Michael Fallon

All households will benefit from our changes. Whilst the reduction in individual household bills will depend on the energy supplier, this package, including VAT, will be worth an average of around £50 to households, compared to what would have happened without these changes. All customers on fixed tariffs will receive the £12 rebate from suppliers in autumn and the vast majority of them can either switch to a new tariff created since the Autumn Statement without any charge or will be switching to a new tariff anyway as a result of their fixed contract coming to an end this year.
