Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill [Lords].

Energy Bill [Lords]

The Government are rightly concerned about fuel poverty and whether customers are paying too much for their energy—a situation not helped by a myriad of tariffs and complex energy bills. As my right hon. Friend's fellow Ministers know, I have submitted simple proposals to his Department that would oblige energy companies to show customers how much they would save if they were on that company's cheapest standard tariff, based on the customer's actual usage, rather than a generic or average usage. Other Ministers have been supportive. Will he be?
