Summary
Labour’s 2024 manifesto, which Mr Burnham has promised to honour, said the party would not issue new North Sea licences. 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 has been urged to stick to Labour’s manifesto and block further drilling in the North Sea amid reports he is considering backing new oil and gas projects. In a speech in Downing Street, he is expected to set out plans to provide “breathing space” on the cost of living and bring economic growth to every part of the UK, but details of his plans remain unclear. '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.'.
