BRITISH GAS WINTER PRICE INCREASE

Early day motion 1050, tabled 18 November 2010 by Fabian Hamilton (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 3, Green 1.
