Big Six have 'no excuse' not to cut bills as costs fall to historic low
BIG SIX bosses have “no excuses” not to slash gas bills, campaigners and MPs said yesterday, as the energy barons’ costs dropped to a record low.

Yet the average household gas bill has rocketed from £676 in 2013 to an estimated £716 this year.
