NEA comments ahead of Wednesday’s Budget as householders battle high energy bills.

Our Budget and CSR submissions recommend ways to support struggling households to keep warm this winter at a time when energy prices are increasing, incomes are reducing, and there are other financial pressures on households like rising inflation. It also recommends longer term actions to end fuel poverty through increased spending on energy efficiency and making the uplift to Universal Credit permanent.

NEA’s Budget submission builds on recent positive policy developments and highlights where key actions remain and must be taken within the upcoming Budget.
