While we note—the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee noted this, as has already been said—that this is a significant increase for bill payers, we accept that this redistribution is unavoidable in the short term. Beyond this, more work is desperately needed, particularly on energy market reforms. I fully understand that the Minister is stepping in but, with the rejection of zonal pricing, I want to press the Government on their plans. When can we find plans from this Government to bring about energy market reform? We welcome the £13.2 billion that has been announced for the warm home scheme. The other side to this is better insulation of our homes to help people reduce their energy bills.
