Hunt urges people to cut their fuel use as he confirms universal energy support will end in spring 2024

Towards the end of his appearance at the Commons Treasury committee, Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, confirmed that universal energy support would not be extended past spring 2024 even if bills remain very high.

But he said people could save £500 a year if they reduced their annual energy use by 15%, in line with a national target. He told the committee:

In the long run we’re going need everyone to help us crack this problem if we’re not going to have a huge additional burden on taxpayers which ultimately will lead to the kind of high taxes I certainly don’t believe are desirable in the long run.

We will always be there to help poorer households, the way we do that will change.

But for most people we need you to play your part in reducing our energy dependency on what Putin choses to do in Ukraine. That’s why we’ve got this national ambition to reduce energy consumption by 15% …

We are saying to people that in the end everyone is going to have to take responsibility for their energy bills and they’re going to have to think about how they’re going to reduce their energy consumption.

"We will always be there to help poorer households, the way we do that will change."

This sounds a bit ominous.
