Ed Miliband responds to Energy UK’s call for government to take further action

Ed Miliband MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary for Climate Change and Net Zero, responding to Energy UK’s call for government to take further action, said: 

“The energy bills crisis is national emergency, but the Conservative Government is asleep at the wheel, refusing to freeze energy bills.

“There is a consensus across the country, including in the energy industry, that urgent action is needed. It is intolerable that the Conservatives continue to offer no solutions to this crisis, and oppose Labour’s plan.

“Labour’s fully-funded plan would fix the problems immediately and for the future. It would mean people not paying a penny more on their energy bills this winter, saving the typical household £1,000. Only Labour can give Britain the fresh start it needs.”
