EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Lack of further energy bill support "heartless" - Davey

Responding to the news that Jeremy Hunt has ruled out further energy support, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said: 

"This Conservative government either doesn't care or doesn't understand the struggles of millions of families and pensioners. The British people deserve better.

"Jeremy Hunt needs to urgently bring in a proper windfall tax on oil and gas profits, and cancel April's energy bill rise.

"Anything less than real action from the Conservatives will be heartlessly condemning millions of people to more energy misery."

ENDS
