UK must act to stop energy companies overcharging loyal customers - Clark

Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) - The British government has a duty to act to stop energy companies taking advantage of their loyal customers by overcharging them, business secretary Greg Clark said on Thursday.

He was speaking after the government announced an energy price cap policy that was strongly criticised by energy firms whose share prices fell on the news.

"Faced with that evidence, I think you've got a duty to act.
