Chairman of the Local Government Association (LGA) Environment Board has responded to Ofgem's report claiming that "energy suppliers aren't giving consumers a good deal".

Cllr Paul Bettison said: "Their solution of more red tape completely misses the point. The best way to cut everyone's energy bills year after year would be to insulate every home in the country.

"Energy suppliers have been passing on the costs of making homes more energy efficient to consumers - to the tune of £35 per household every year. They need to make the same contribution as hard working families. The Government has announced a £1 billion package to insulate more homes, and the suppliers must commit to meeting the costs."
