Parliament Talks... Energy

Jonas Grist — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:45:55 +0100

'Parliament Talks...Energy’ is a series of free events and promotional activities highlighting Parliament's role in debating and challenging Government policy on energy.

This event will bring together members of the public and a parliamentarian to discuss how Parliament contributes to the debate on energy issues and scrutinises Government policy, particularly when it comes to consumer engagement with energy companies.

The event will be part of the inquiry by the House of Commons Select Committee on Energy and Climate Change into consumer engagement and will ask for the public’s views on their understanding of the energy industry.

Chaired by: Tim Yeo MP

The event will include an introduction and talk from Tim Yeo MP (who is a member of the Committee) followed by discussion groups on how energy companies engage with their customers and how much consumers know about their energy bills.

These events will be hosted by the Energy and Climate Change Committee and the Houses of Parliament Outreach Service.
