To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee’s recommendation in its Fifth Report of Session 2024–26, Tackling the energy cost crisis, published on 29 October, that Ofgem should introduce an Energy Debt Relief Scheme funded by windfall profits made by energy network companies.

Asked by:
Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat)

The Government welcomes the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee’s report, following the committee’s inquiry into the cost of energy, and is grateful to the charities, think tanks, energy suppliers, members of the public, and all others who provided evidence to support it.

The Government is considering all recommendations set out in the report and will submit our response, which responds to each recommendation in turn, to the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee later this month.
