(DECC) Ed Miliband response to Ofgem's direct debit report

In response to Ofgem's report on direct debits, published today Ed Miliband said:

"Hard pressed consumers deserve to be treated fairly, regardless of where they live or how they pay. Ofgem's proposed changes to the rules on direct debits and earlier this week on pre-payment meters are vital.

"Consumers also deserve the lowest prices possible. The suppliers have all announced price cuts, but there's scope for more later this year. We want to see the full benefits of wholesale price reductions passed onto consumers."
