lpv:spoken text	"Hundreds of thousands of my constituents across Yorkshire and Humberside stand to save money on their gas and electricity bills as a result of this legislation. The measures will combine increased energy efficiency with lower costs. Although full unbundling has not yet been achieved, this legislation will move towards a network where companies are not allowed to own both the generation of electricity and its distribution, thereby enabling them to overcharge consumers. In particular, I welcome the fact that it will also give customers the right to change their gas and electricity supplies within three weeks free of charge, and gives a right to compensation in cases where people are given inaccurate or delayed bills. Energy-efficient SmartMeters will also be introduced. These new rules amount to a bill of rights for gas and electricity users. For too long companies have been able to force consumers to pay over the odds for their gas and electricity. My constituents will see the benefit of this legislation in cuts to their bills."@en1
