Instant Tory U-turn on energy price pledge...

The government has played down a pledge by Prime Minister David Cameron that energy firms will be forced to give all customers the lowest tariff.


David Cameron making false promises yesterday

Mr Cameron made the surprise announcement on Wednesday at prime minister's questions.

At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Mr Cameron said: "I can announce... that we will be legislating so that energy companies have to give the lowest tariff to their customers, something that Labour didn't do in 13 years, even though the leader of the Labour Party could have done because he had the job."

But a minister summoned to the Commons to explain what the PM meant said the details had still to be worked out.

John Hayes vowed to help consumers "get the best deal" - but Labour accused the government of being in "chaos".

Shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint said it had been a "shambolic mismanagement of energy policy" in what was "probably the quickest U-turn in British history".

Cameron should be recalled to the House of Commons and either confirm what he said yesterday was government policy or aoplogise to the House for lying
