	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government has carefully considered the introduction of a price cap to help domestic fuel customers with high fuel prices, however the Government’s analysis indicates that a cap would not be in the long-term interests of consumers.</p><p> </p><p>The existing gas and electricity price cap was designed to protect consumers on default tariffs from the loyalty penalty, which the Competitions and Markets Authority warned was causing customers to be overcharged. The structure of the heating oil and LPG markets are different and imposing a price cap below wholesale costs would drive companies out of the market, reducing competition and possibly result in supply shortages.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 04/07/2022 15:43:15 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
