Written evidence to be reported to the House
Energy Bill
12:00 pm
Martin Horwood (Shadow Minister (Environment), Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Cheltenham, Liberal Democrat)

Are you saying that if the energy companies wanted to protect shareholder value and simply pass on those costs that you were talking about to the consumer instead, you would have no power to stop them doing so.
