MPs call for aid ahead of winter energy crisis

MPs have called on the Government to support under-pressure households ahead of an "inevitable" new energy crisis this winter.

The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee said that ministers must make sure that all families who did not feel the benefit of last year's £400 per household help get that money now.

MPs on the committee said that the Warm Home Discount, which cuts bills by £150 over winter for those eligible, should be extended and that the Government should provide money ahead of cold spells.
