An energy minister has told Britain's biggest suppliers to do more on unpaid bills as the government prepares almost £2.5 billion to clear debts for about 2.4 million hard-hit households this winter. Polly Billington said energy debt weighs on millions of families and costs are passed to other billpayers. Officials say relief and prevention measures could save typical households about £130 over the next decade.
