Energy Policy

Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 November 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy Policy.

First, we want to give the benefits of switching to everybody, not just to pensioners. Hard-working families are struggling, and we want to ensure that they get the benefits as well. As for the Prime Minister’s commitment to get people on to the cheapest tariffs, we are delivering that. Ofgem’s retail market review of the four core tariffs will ensure that people who are on stranded or dead tariffs will automatically be switched to the lowest tariff, given their preferences. I would have thought that the Opposition would want to ensure that people are on the lowest tariff, because it

will bring them big savings and ensure that their preferences —whether on payment or other things—are recognised. That is the best of both worlds.
