Fuel Poverty

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate at this time, following the announcement by npower, one of the most voracious suppliers. The number of people in fuel poverty has more than stopped going down—it has doubled since 2003, despite the Government's best and heroic endeavours, to which we pay tribute. Does my hon. Friend agree that Ofgem—he referred to it by implication a moment ago—should be given reserve powers to evaluate the so-called social tariffs, which many suppliers offer, to ensure a decent minimum standard and not just a voluntary, penny-pinching level? I put that point to the Minister just before the recess at Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform questions. Does my hon. Friend agree that that is an option for Ofgem's terms of reference?
