Energy Companies

Asked if the Prime Minister thought that energy companies were doing enough to help low income households, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister said something about this at Prime Minister’s Questions a couple of weeks ago and, as we had repeatedly said, Ministers were naturally concerned about the effects that energy price rises had on businesses and especially on vulnerable customers.

Asked if the Prime Minister thought that compulsory action from the Government was needed, the PMS said that the Prime Minister and Government had repeatedly made clear their concerns about the effects of high fuel prices on vulnerable customers. The PMS added that he would not pre-empt whatever the Chancellor may or may not say in his Budget.
