Na h-Eileanan an Iar SNP MP, Angus MacNeil is encouraging constituents to shop around for better energy prices after he recently switched energy supplier, saving 28% from his bill.

Mr MacNeil together with SNP colleagues at Westminster continue to raise issues in parliament about the regulation of the energy sector, the pricing policies of energy companies and other issues on energy supply.

Commenting Angus MacNeil MP said:

“Fuel poverty in an energy rich country like Scotland is an absolute scandal.  The Western Isles suffers from the highest levels of fuel poverty in the UK and many people are worried about their energy bills.

“It is certainly worth shopping around, as I have recently done, saving 28% from my energy bill when I switched to the newly established company GB Energy Supply, who can be contacted on 0800 6444 450.

“We should all be checking to see if we’re on the cheapest tariff, this can be done by visiting websites such as http://www.uswitch.com/
