The statement related to the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s announcement on energy bills which can be read in full at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/govt-action-to-help-hardworking-people-with-energy-bills

The Statement on Energy Bills took place in the Chamber of the House of Commons yesterday with MPs questioning the Secretary of State on the points raised following the conclusion of the Statement.
The transcript and video of the Statement and questions are now available (see the links in post #1).
We hope this might be of interest to some MSE'ers.
Thanks
