motion: <p class="" pid="c.929.3/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move,</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="c.929.3/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House notes that annual energy bills have risen by more than &#163;200 since May 2010, with further price rises on the way; calls on the Government to help families and pensioners with their energy bills this winter by requiring energy companies to put all people aged over 75 on their cheapest tariff; and further calls for it to reform the energy market to break the dominance of the Big Six by requiring them to sell power into a pool, and allowing new businesses to enter the market, thereby increasing competition and driving down energy bills for all, and to replace Ofgem with a tough new energy regulator with the power to force energy companies to pass on price cuts when wholesale costs fall.</p>
