Answer from Hansard

The Prime Minister

Let me start by congratulating Rochdale football club on being top of the league for the time being. [ Laughter. ] Well, I say that because I know who is top of the premier league, but it will be in March and April that we find out who actually wins. My hon. Friend is right. Thanks to the actions in the Budget, every household will see £150 off their energy bills, and because we have now extended the warm home discount to 6 million of the poorest households, they will save an additional £150. In the north-west, that benefits about 280,000 households. That is huge cost of living support for families alongside freezing prescription charges and rail fares and boosting the minimum wage.
