Liberal Democrat Shadow Trade and Industry Secretary, Edward Davey MP

Commenting on Npower's announcement that it is to raise prices, Liberal Democrat Shadow Trade and Industry Secretary, Edward Davey MP said: "High fuel bills spell misery for millions, especially in Britain's poorest homes.

"If gas and electricity prices continue to rocket, this winter's fuel bills will be the most expensive on record.

"The Government has been far too slow to help solve the gas supply problems behind these price hikes, they must act now to make up for lost time."
