Alan Whitehead MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Energy and Climate Change, responding to EDF Energy announcing a 6% price rise, said:

“The Government promised to implement Labour’s energy price cap idea over a year ago and they’ve still not delivered.

“Theresa May’s constant ducking and weaving of responsibility has left bill payers facing another huge hike and now we hear that her £100 saving promise may not materialise.

“Labour has pushed for a price cap for years and will protect customers with an immediate cap.”
