More than 100 Labour MPs urge Ed Miliband to explore radical energy bills overhaul

Living Standards Coalition writes to energy secretary calling on him to do more to help struggling households

Ed Miliband has been urged by more than 100 Labour MPs to explore radically overhauling UK energy bills to cut costs for the those who use the least power.

The energy secretary is understood to be considering a number of options for more progressive energy pricing, with changes to the standing charge and discounts for the least intensive consumers - known as rising block tariffs - all being reviewed.
