UK billpayers may pick up tab for green levies as energy price cap ends

Minister hints at government uncertainty as Jacob Rees-Mogg warns against sly' reintroduction of charges

Consumers are in line to pay an extra 170 in green levies as the government's energy price cap comes to an end for most billpayers.

John Glen, the chief secretary to the Treasury, said on Sunday that ministers were considering what to do about the levies, which the government has paid since last year and are designed to fund schemes such as subsidised home insulation.
