<p>The Energy Bills Support Scheme, as announced by my rt. hon. Friend Mr Chancellor
of the Exchequer on 3 February, is currently the subject of a Government consultation
issued on 11 April.</p><p> </p><p>The implementation of the policy will be reviewed
following the conclusion of the consultation. Allowing consumers to opt out of receiving
the reduction on their bills would likely increase the administrative costs of the
scheme. This applies equally to the constituents of Birmingham, Selly Oak.</p>
