Energy Prices

Proceeding contribution from Lord Barker of Battle (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 June 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Prices.

May I just point out, for the record, that under this coalition fuel poverty has fallen in real terms in each of the past three years? That did not happen during the last Parliament, when it went up year on year. The figure the hon. Gentleman refers to is a projection. There was a projected rise last year, but we actually delivered a cut. There is much more to do on fuel poverty, but using misleading figures will not help his case.
