| Comment | (sorry, this is very much my thing) interestingly it wasn't leaked, it was very much open policy but the government actually did a big U-turn - BEIS published the detailed proposals for consultation last month, and it was up on their website for about 3 hours before someone in govt decided that anything indicating a rise in gas bills would be politically toxic right now, and it vanished just as soon as it appeared, with govt pretending it never happened
but yes, in the long term we can definitely expect something like this to occur - but unlikely to happen as above until gas prices rebound back down to 'normal' levels (whenever that might be - probably when China gets its long-awaited recession) |
