Caroline Flint MP, Labour’s Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, commenting on Ofgem’s report on the revenues, costs and profits of the large energy companies in 2012, said:
 
“However you look at it, there’s no hiding the fact that on David Cameron’s watch the energy companies have increased their profits on the back of spiralling bills for hard-pressed consumers.
 
“These latest figures show why Labour’s price freeze is needed. Labour’s price freeze will save money for 27 million households and 2.4 million businesses and our plans to reset the market will deliver fairer prices in the future. People are sick and tired of paying over the odds because David Cameron is too weak to stand up to the energy companies and just stands up for a privileged few.”
