Opposition Day — Energy Prices — Require Energy Companies to Pass Savings to Customers When Wholesale Prices Fall — 14 Jan 2015 at 16:20

The majority of MPs voted against requiring energy suppliers to pass savings on to consumers when wholesale costs fall.

The text of the motion rejected in this vote was:

  • That this House
  • notes the policy of the Opposition to freeze energy prices until 2017, ensuring that prices can fall but not rise; and
  • calls on the Government to bring forward fast-track legislation immediately to put a statutory duty on the energy regulator for Great Britain to ensure that energy suppliers pass on price cuts to consumers when wholesale costs fall, if suppliers fail to act.
