As families across the country face high fuel bills, Neil Parish asks the PM what he is doing to encourage more competition and to bring prices down.Neil Parish (Tiverton and Honiton) (Con): Families in the country are facing very high fuel bills, and there is a vested interest among the big six fuel companies not to allow competition into the market. What exactly is the Prime Minister doing to encourage more competition and to bring prices down?The Prime Minister: One of the things we are doing is insisting that the big six have to make more of their energy available in a pooling arrangement so that new businesses can come into the industry. The reason we have to do this is that the last Government abolished the pooling arrangements, creating the situation with the big six—and we do not need to ask who the Energy Secretary was during that Government as we are looking at him.| Hansard
