Q7.   Three million households are in debt on their energy bills, pushing up everyone’s energy bills by around £50 a year to cover it. As a result, energy companies and Ofgem are ringing the alarm bell that the almost £7 billion of energy debt in this country is now undermining the sector’s ability to make the investments that could lower bills in the long term. Will the Prime Minister be more ambitious than the VAT cut on electricity and reviewing the standing charge on gas, and introduce an essential energy guarantee, where 50% of average use is charged at a cheaper rate permanently, to cut bills and help families and the energy sector to escape Britain’s energy debt crisis?
