Lord Sikka (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Mobile Phone and Broadband Prices

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the Minister for her Answer. Phone and broadband companies such as O2 have violated Ofcom’s voluntary code and imposed unjustified mid-contract price hikes on customers. The old and vulnerable are hit hard, as they are less likely to shop around. Inflation and poverty are baked into the system. As reducing the cost of living is a government objective, will the Minister enact legislation to ban mid-contract price rises? Statutory rights are the only effective antidote to corporate abuse of power.
