Blackout Warning: ‘Govt pretty confident we have enough energy’ – Work and Pensions Minister

The government is "pretty confident" the UK has enough energy to see it through this winter, says Work and Pensions Minister Victoria Prentis.

This comes as the National Grid warned last week that the country may face three-hour blackouts in the event of gas shortages.

Speaking to Kay Burley, the North Oxfordshire MP also said that no decision has been made on the uprating of benefits and laid out a timetable for how the decision will be made.
