Rejected petition Put a cap on energy prices and more help for the vulnerable
I want the government to put price cap on energy prices. Have a maximum amount that people need to pay on low incomes and pay the help with energy costs to the supplier and not to benefit claimant
More details
It will mean that there won't be as many deaths. People will be able to heat their home in winter and have nutrional meals. The worry and anxiety on how they are going to pay for their energy costs will be reduced as there will be maximum out they can be charges. There will not be as many elderly people struggling and having to go into hospital
