Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy National Policy Statements.

Energy National Policy Statements

My hon. Friend raises a very important issue. That is why, in the energy Bill, which was in the draft legislative programme, we want to propose social tariffs on a mandatory basis—precisely to help the hardest-pressed consumers. At a time of rising prices and when pressures on prices are upwards, we need tough regulation, and help for the most vulnerable.
