British Gas sends us the bill as the government dithers

Citizens look set to receive the bill for an unfulfilled Tory manifesto pledge, as British Gas puts up its prices in the absence of a meaningful energy cap.
Higher energy bills

Millions of British Gas customers on its standard variable tariff will see their energy bills rise by 5.5% to an average £1,161 a year. The rise will hit 4.1 million of the firm’s 7.8 million customers, who will pay £60 extra a year from the end of May. It follows the 12.5% increase in electricity prices imposed last September. In addition, the company confirmed it had also removed its cheapest deal, an online-only tariff.
