00:00Well, the Prime Minister's leadership throughout the crisis in the Middle East has been one of
00:04calmness, level-headedness, making sure that we don't get involved in the offensive action,
00:09but we do defend our people and our interests and our allies. And I know that a big focus for
00:14the Prime Minister and the Chancellor and us as a government is protecting people at home
00:18from the impact of the war in the Middle East. And so that's why tomorrow the energy price cap
00:24is going to be going down, which means that even if people are worried looking at the TV or their
00:28phones about energy prices going up as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, they can know
00:33that for April, May and June, prices will be coming down on their energy bills.
