Tony Wright MP says “I support action on energy bills”

Tony Wright MP has welcomed the £1bn energy saving package announced this week by the Labour Government.

From this week, everyone in Great Yarmouth will be eligible for at least 50% off loft and cavity wall insulation, with everyone on low incomes and all pensioners able to get these for free, and cold weather payments for the most vulnerable will be increased from £8.50 to £25 a week.

Tony Wright MP said:

“We’ve all been hit by high energy prices, so I am determined that people in Great Yarmouth get as much help as possible to save energy and cut their bills. That’s why I’m backing a new £910m Government levy on energy companies that will mean people in Great Yarmouth get much cheaper insulation.

“Thanks to the extra help this will provide, people in Great Yarmouth could save as much as £250 to £300 a year, every year, on their fuel bills. Insulation is now free for pensioners and people on certain benefits, and is half price for everyone else. I think this kind of practical help will make a huge difference.

“So I’m asking all my constituents to call 0800 512 012, and ask what help is available for them.”
