ENERGY COMPANY PROFITS

Early day motion 952, tabled 25 February 2010 by Michael Weir (Scottish National Party). Signed by 16 members.

That this House is appalled by a surge in energy companies' profits during the coldest winter for 30 years; believes that the big six energy producers should rightly pass on the massive reduction in wholesale energy prices they have been enjoying since 2008; recognises that positive steps, such as the Scottish Government's Energy Assistance Package, bring welcome help for the fuel poor; and calls for firmer action from the UK Government to help the increasing number of people suffering in fuel poverty.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, Scottish National Party 6, DUP 2, Liberal Democrat 1, Respect 1.
