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

Energy Bill [Lords]

I welcome the Bill—it is a superb idea, and I applaud the Government for bringing it forward so quickly. May I press the Secretary of State on consumer protection? As with any new initiative that a tremendous number of people want to take up, some providers will inevitably promise the earth and not deliver. What protection will there be for consumers, particularly those in fuel poverty to whom much is promised but little is delivered, to ensure that they get the insulation and the reduction in their fuel costs that they are expecting?
