Left-wing Labour MP Katy Clark accused the Scottish National Party yesterday of allying with big energy companies against the people of Scotland.
The North Ayrshire and Arran representative condemned the SNP for failing to vote for Labour’s price freeze in the Commons last week.
Calling for “radical reform” of the energy market, Ms Clark said: “The privatised energy market is not functioning with the Big Six energy companies acting as a cartel.
“Last week the SNP and the coalition parties showed whose side they are on — lining up with the big energy companies against the people of Scotland.”
Ms Clark said Labour’s price freeze would save every Scottish household £120 a year and would give families and businesses a total saving of £500 million.
“The SNP has never discussed a price freeze with the energy companies,” she added.
“The First Minister hasn’t raised the issue of rising bills for over two years.”
