Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.
Social Security
The hon. Gentleman is being generous with his time in giving way. I agree with him on fuel poverty. I blame the energy companies for their sheer greed in putting up prices and not bringing them down. Does he agree that that is part of the problem and that families, particularly pensioners, are being put into poverty, purely because of the greed of the energy companies?
