Proceeding contribution from Caroline Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 April 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Price Freeze.

Energy Price Freeze

I will give way shortly but I want to make this point. The Secretary of State also boasts that on his watch 18 new entrants are challenging the dominance of the big six. He is right: 18 other suppliers are in the domestic market, but when did they enter it? When did

companies such as Good Energy, First Utility, and Ovo Energy enter the market? Was it under this Government? No, it was not—it was under the previous Labour Government.
