Energy prices
« Sentencing | Back to most recent briefing | Departmental budgets »
Asked about the rise in energy prices, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) told the assembled press that the rise in energy bills was very disappointing for customers. This was a commercial decision fro the company involved and reflected high global energy prices at the present time.
The PMS said that the Government and Ofgem would continue to monitor the situation closely and would make sure there was strong competition in the market. Asked if the Government would be putting pressure on gas suppliers to be more transparent when disclosing wholesale gas prices, the PMS replied that that was a matter for the regulator.
