00:00Well this will be yet another blow to households across the country because this is the third
00:05increase, consecutive increase under this Labour government and of course they promised us at the
00:10election that they were going to reduce energy bills by some 300 pounds by the end of the decade.
00:15Instead families are going to have to be dealing with these increased costs. I mean the Labour
00:19government now have to really explain what it is they're doing with energy. They talk big plans,
00:24they invest billions of pounds in an energy company that doesn't produce any energy,
00:28yet what we need to see is why we need explanations as to why for example they're
00:32not opening up oil fields in the North Sea. We need sensible plans about running a grid along
00:38the east coast of the United Kingdom to get energy to where it's needed rather than these
00:43plans of plonking pylons across the country including my own constituency.
