SIR – The sixth energy company has pushed up their prices as predicted and it’s no good changing suppliers because they are near enough running a cartel.

If you add the profits of the six energy companies, which are huge, you will understand why it’s helping to push inflation up.

It’s about time the Government stepped in and provided some proper competition.

Why not roll the six energy companies into one?

Between them they’ve got that many tariffs, no one understands them.

The Government should step in and make them reduce prices because gas and oil on the world market is very much lower.
