BRITISH GAS WINTER PRICE INCREASE

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the announcement made by British Gas of a seven per cent. gas and electricity price increase from 10 December 2010; further notes that this sizeable increase is unwelcome in the current difficult economic climate and will cause unnecessary hardship for thousands of British Gas customers at the start of winter; and calls on the Government to ask the Regulator to look into the way in which British Gas configures its pricing structure.
