Response to Cameron and Clegg's latest energy plans - Caroline Flint
Caroline Flint MP, Labour’s Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, responding to a joint article by David Cameron and Nick Clegg said:
“Energy bills are going up by £120 this winter alone, so the Government are dealing with less than half this year’s increase, never mind the £300 that bills have gone up by since they got into power.
"It’s no surprise with this Government that they’re not asking the energy companies to pay for it. David Cameron always stands up for a privileged few. This shows why only a price freeze will do. Labour’s price freeze would save money for 27 million households and 2.4 million businesses and our plans to reset the energy market would stop these companies from overcharging people in the future.”
