Opposition Day — Energy Price Freeze — 2 Apr 2014 at 15:38
The majority of MPs voted against freezing electricity and gas prices whilst the energy market is reformed.
The motion rejected by the majority of MPs was:
- That this House
- welcomes the decision to refer the energy market to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for investigation;
- believes that this confirms that the energy market is broken;
- notes that this investigation could take up to 18 months and will not report until late 2015;
- further notes the decision by Scottish and Southern Energy to freeze electricity and gas prices until 2016;
- further believes that all households and businesses should be protected from any more unfair price rises while the CMA investigation is ongoing; and
- calls on the Government to freeze electricity and gas prices whilst the energy market is reformed to improve transparency, competition and accountability.
