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

Energy Prices

I think perhaps the hon. Gentleman and I will have to put our researchers in a room and have them fight it out, because my information is that the Deutsche Bank report has stated that a quarter of UK households could be driven into fuel poverty by being priced out of the market; that the most effective policy to bring energy costs down would be to abandon our unilateral renewables obligation, which would save 15% on costs; and that shale gas utilisation would save a further 15%.
