The UK’s gas stores have fallen “concerningly low” after freezing temperatures across Britain significantly boosted demand, the owner of British Gas has warned.

Centrica said the UK “has less than a week of gas demand in store” and that Britain’s storage sites are 26 per cent lower than they were at the same time last year, leaving them around half full.
