Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 October 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Market Reform.


Energy Market Reform

My right hon. Friend is right that it would have been nonsense not to wait for the review to finish before considering what to do, but given that it is also absolute nonsense to propose abolishing a regulator, only to create a new regulator to do a similar sort of job—namely, regulating the energy industry—will he take the much more sensible option of being open to suggestions from wherever they might come as to ways in which we might toughen the role of the current regulator to make it much more responsive to the needs of our constituents?
