Business of the House

The recent announcements of huge increases in gas and electricity prices have left many of my constituents anxious about how they will get through the next winter. They also feel angry and ripped off because Ofgem does not seem to be able to manage the small number of energy companies, which are making excessive profits. Can we have an urgent debate on the energy industry and price rises, and can it be held in the autumn before this issue becomes a winter crisis?
