Proceeding contribution from Elliot Morley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Energy Providers.


Energy Providers

I welcome my hon. and learned Friend to his new post. I want to pick up on the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley, West and Penistone (Mr. Clapham) during the statement about the windfall profits from the carbon credits to the generators. They are not exposed to international competition. That money basically goes straight on to their balance sheet. Is the Minister satisfied that there is proper scrutiny of where that money is being used and of whether it could be used to help the fuel-poor?
