The Minister needs to clear this up because there is too much messing around and people are being fleeced. Their money is being robbed from their accounts. The electricity companies are taking every penny out of their accounts. This is money for food, rent, mortgages and medicine. The Government is acting as a spectator and is allowing this to happen. It is not right. People are living in a hell of fuel poverty and energy deprivation. This is what has been allowed to happen. Will the windfall tax be applied to the profits of electricity companies for 2022 and will it be redistributed to those who have been fleeced? If so, when will it be done?
