Laura Sandys welcomed today’s Energy Bill which will save families in Thanet up to £158 on their utility bills by helping people to switch to the cheapest tariff. The most vulnerable households will see the greatest benefit. This is on top of the £64 average saving that householders in Thanet have already seen so far, compared to Labour's plans.
Laura Sandys, PPS to Energy Minister Greg Barker said: “The cost of living is the number one for the majority of families issue in South Thanet. That’s why we have been working so hard on the Energy Bill and why today really matters. The choice is saving up to £158 with the Conservatives, or paying £61 more under Labour; it’s a no-brainer.”
Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change, Greg Barker MP, said: “Today’s Energy Bill will put cash back in your pocket. Hardworking families in South Thanet will be able to save up to £158, by switching to the cheapest energy tariff, which our plans will give everyone the chance to do.
“Already, as a result of our policies, people are paying 5 per cent less on their gas and electricity bills than they would otherwise be.”
