Energy Price Freeze

Debate between Anas Sarwar and Toby Perkins

Wednesday 6th November 2013 Commons Chamber

[Anas Sarwar (Glasgow Central) (Lab)]

The Secretary of State spoke for just over 35 minutes. Nothing he said will have given any comfort to my constituents, or to anyone suffering as a result of the energy crisis. Perhaps he should reflect on what he has said and come back with something that will mean a lot more to people struggling with their household bills at this difficult time.

[Toby Perkins]

My hon. Friend will be aware that thousands of people in Chesterfield have signed a petition in favour of the policy we are debating today. After today, rather than send them a long letter, I will send them the Secretary of State’s speech, so they can see exactly what the Liberal Democrats think of the struggles they are facing.
