How does Parliament contribute to the debate on energy issues?

The Houses of Parliament Outreach Service and Dr Alan Whitehead MP are hosting an event on Monday 14th May, from 5-7pm at the Freemantle Community Centre in Southampton.

'Parliament Talks...Energy’ is the latest in a series of free events and promotional activities highlighting Parliament's role in debating and challenging Government policy on energy.  This event will bring together members of the public and parliamentarians to discuss how Parliament contributes to the debate on energy issues and scrutinises Government policy, particularly when it comes to consumer engagement with energy companies.

This event is hosted by the Houses of Parliament Outreach Service and the House of Commons Select Committee on Energy and Climate Change and will be part of the Committee’s upcoming inquiry into consumer engagement and will ask for the public’s views on their understanding of the energy industry.  It will start with an introduction and talk from the local MP, Dr Alan Whitehead, who is a member of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, followed by discussion groups on how energy companies engage with their customers and how much consumers know about their energy bills.
