Proceeding contribution from Guy Opperman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 October 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Prices.


Energy Prices

The hon. Gentleman obviously did not hear what the ministerial team said earlier, which addressed that exact point. The OFT report is a market study, but I seek a formal investigation where there is a reasonable suspicion that the law has been breached in relation to the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. I suggest that that applies to pricing practices, particularly when there is a varying price after a customer has placed an order. In my constituency, there is ample evidence that that has happened.
