Andy Burnham stops short of pledging further help as gas and electricity prices due to increase by 4% in October
Households are unlikely to receive further energy bills support before the October price cap, though more targeted measures could be looked at if there is a further shock in January, government sources said.
Gas and electricity prices will rise by 4% from October under the new cap. The government has already removed VAT from domestic electricity bills to save average households £45 a year, in a move announced in Andy Burnham’s first week in office.
