ELECTRICITY PRICING

Early day motion 1494, tabled 12 July 2004 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 61 members.

That this House notes with concern the lack of transparency from companies selling electricity; expresses grave concern regarding over-aggressive sales tactics and the use of small print to disguise the full cost of their respective electricity packages; further notes the lack of clarity on electricity bills sent to customers with many people finding it difficult to account for the total cost of the bill; and calls on all companies selling electricity to be open and transparent in their pricing policy and provide clear breakdowns on electricity bills.
