ENERGY PRICE DIFFERENTIALS

Early day motion 820, tabled 23 February 2009 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 31 members.

That this House believes that Ofgem's proposals to deal with the discriminatory charging practices imposed on pre-payment meter customers do not go far enough; notes that energy suppliers could be allowed to charge pre-payment meter customers for maintaining those meters, even where the customer is forced to use a pre-payment meter; and calls on the Government to introduce licensing conditions which ensure that pre-payment meter customers do not have to pay a penny more than the best quarterly-billed rates.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, DUP 4, Liberal Democrat 3, Independent 2, Scottish National Party 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2.
