Energy Prices

Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 June 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Prices.

My hon. Friend has spotted a point to which I will return. There is a bit of inconsistency there.

The historians among us might note that the two proposals for price control regulations are particularly interesting because they reverse the policy that Labour backed in government. In 2002, under Labour, Ofgem

abolished all price controls on gas and electricity. Is it not interesting that, even though there is now more competition than in 2002, Labour has done a U-turn and wants price control regulations back?
