So Cameron is to be applauded for trying his hardest to get lower tariffs and cheaper bills for customers, but he needs to remember that there are a large % of people that have no choice but purchase oil for heating and cooking!
In the last 7 years I have seen the price more than double from 30p a litre to 67p. It has now got to the point where I can only put the heating on once a day as it would otherwise cost me over £300 ever 8 weeks!
Will Cameron look at these costings i wonder?

Such an initiative conforms to the mantra that choice is the holy grail, and that choice will drive down costs and increase competition. It also saves Mr. Camerons blushes, since he made the announcement in the House without consulting anyone else in the cabinet first.
Offering a simplified tariff structure should make it easier to do some comparison shopping, but how effective such an initiative will be remains to be determined.
Personally, I think it will have little or no effect, and there are other more pressing reasons why the cost of energy has risen so sharply - reasons that will not be addressed by this, mostly cosmetic measure - but I hope I am pleasantly surprised.

There are no discounts pdq, it's the same price as is now. All it means is that if you come off a good tarif when the deal ends they will have to put you on the lowest tariff not the highest one.
And I would argue that it has nothing to do with income, many middle earners probably have the nouse, and the measn to be able to find the deals anyway.
