British Gas profits: A betrayal for customers across the country

Responding to the news that Centrica, owner of British Gas, has made £2.8bn in profits in 2022 Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:

"This is a betrayal for British Gas customers across the country who are struggling to keep their heating on. Once again the government's failure to implement a proper windfall tax is allowing oil and gas businesses to make billions off the back of hardworking families.

"What makes this worse is that thousands of families have had their homes broken into and prepayments forcibly installed because they could no longer afford to pay their sky high bills.

"This cannot continue. Liberal Democrats are calling for the Conservatives to finally bring in a proper Windfall Tax and the cancellation of Government plans to increase energy bills by £500 in April."
