The bills from Chega, IL, BE and Livre, which aim to reduce the VAT on butane and propane gas cylinders, were all sent to committee without a vote, as was an initiative from the PS that aims to create a "legal regime for defining the price of gas," among other measures.

The only texts approved were two draft resolutions – that is, without the force of law – from the PSD and PAN.

The Social Democrats recommend to the executive that it take measures "to strengthen competition, transparency and accessibility" in this market, and PAN asks the government to make "access to bottled gas more accessible for families."

During the debate, proposed by the PCP (Portuguese Communist Party), the communist Alfredo Maia defended setting the price of bottled gas at €20, criticising the fact that in Portugal the price per bottle already exceeds €30 and arguing that this also happens in Madeira and the Azores.

Warning that a universe of more than two million families is at stake, especially those with lower incomes, Alfredo Maia stressed that "it is no use lamenting poverty, or inventing concepts such as energy poverty, but refusing to intervene on the economic factors that generate it: on the one hand, low wages and pensions; on the other, the astronomical profits of energy companies".

However, the idea of ​​setting prices ended up being rejected by the vast majority of the other benches, starting with the Chega deputy Rui Afonso, who criticised the "old recipe of price control" and defended the reduction of VAT to 6%, "treating this essential good as what it really is".
