I have been out and about across Aberconwy, listening to people and businesses and their concerns about the challenges they face this coming winter. The rising cost of living is a big one – and in particular soaring energy bills.
Russia’s illegal and unjustified invasion of Ukraine has fuelled inflation and the cost of energy around the world. No one and no country is immune.
I have been working hard in Parliament to ensure that your concerns are addressed, that the Government acts and that Ministers direct Government support at those most in need. I welcome the wide range of support worth up to £2600 for families, including:
- Giving every household £400 in the Energy Bills Support Scheme
- The Pensioner Cost of Living Payment of up to £300
- The Cost of Living Payment of £650 for eligible people on certain means-tested benefits
- The unprecedented Energy Price Guarantee that was announced on 8th September.
