This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Government should credit every energy customers bill with £1K during this crisis
Rejected on
Give £1000 direct to every household's energy bill for 2022
They have written off £4 billion for fraudulent furlough claims and it will save many going hungry or suffering hypothermia particularly the elderly and vunerable
They can write off a huge debt and by giving £1,000 per energy bill household it would assist greatly and allow customers to carry on spending on the high street and the government the clawback 20% VAT so therefore the actual amount given to them to help with this energy crisis would in fact only be £800 per household and would continue to help retailers
