Energy Prices Sky High : Afzal Anwar
September 1, 2008 5:04 PM
Prospective Parliamentary Candidate Afzal Anwar has stated that "energy prices are sky high" commenting on the announcement by Scottish Power and Npower of steep rises in gas and electricity prices.
"This will be a devastating blow for millions of homes especially those within Pendle, it seems to me that a winter of discontent is around the corner, many families will find it difficult to heat homes this winter due to the announcement today" said Afzal.
Nick Clegg the party leader on the same issue states that "It is disgraceful that the major energy companies are lining up to clobber customers with enormous price rises.
"On this Government's watch, these companies have benefited from a £9bn windfall, yet they continue to turn the screws on people who are already struggling with high prices.
"Energy companies must be forced to put some of this money back into insulating the homes of their poorest customers."
