Summary
Burnham’s team was approached for comment. The standing charge, often likened to a telephone line rental, is separate from the rate charged for gas used and currently adds about 29p a day to bills to cover the cost of maintaining gas grids and meters regardless of how much or little energy a household uses. As well as providing debt relief for about 2 million households, this bailout would cut the £29 a year paid by all households to cover the cost of unpaid bills.
Furthermore, Andy Burnham is expected to relax the government’s restrictions on new oil and gas drilling when he becomes prime minister, according to reports . The party has been divided over the issue, with trade unions and some Labour MPs urging Burnham to back the sector. 'He is excited about what more can be delivered in the years ahead and he will devote his time and energy to standing up for our city and building a fairer, safer, greener London for everyone.'.
