EQUALISATION OF TARIFFS FOR GAS AND ELECTRICITY BILLS
Early day motion 305, tabled 1 December 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 60 members.
That this House believes that it is unacceptable that individuals and families using prepay meters pay more for their gas and electricity than anyone else and that is is morally wrong to charge the country's poorest citizens the most exorbitant rates; believes that gas and electricity companies should take immediate action to bring prepay meter prices into line with the national average; and calls on Ofgem to reconsider its implementation of regulatory guidelines on companies' charging practices.
Signatures by party: Labour 40, Liberal Democrat 13, DUP 3, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
