Prepayment meter Pricing

[confidentincompetent]

Alistair Darling will this week announce plans to use legal powers to stop energy companies making an alleged £400m in excess profits from some of Britain’s poorest consumers.

In a highly unusual intervention in the market, the chancellor will announce in the Budget his plan to control the tariffs paid by 3.8m electricity customers and 2.8m gas customers who use pre-payment meters.

And a good thing too.

Hmm but aint Gordon & Darling as bad ! If they go ahead with dropping the 10% starting tax rate (April) and making those that were on breadline anyway twice as bad off by having to pay 20% tax same as someone on £20,00 plus.. Talk about rob the poor to give to the rich ffks .. new labour yeah right..
