Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.


Living Standards

The right hon. Gentleman is making a very important point—that a big squeeze on living standards started under his party's Government. It is continuing under the coalition. As the forecasts make clear, a big element in that is energy and fuel prices. Does he have any proposals that the Government could adopt to tackle that problem?
