Fuel help 'just scratching surface'
Updated on 11 April 2008
Fuel poverty campaigners attack the government over help available to those struggling to pay fuel bills.
The criticism came as the government announced a voluntary deal that would see the big six energy providers spend an extra £225 million over three years. It could help 100,000 families out of fuel poverty.
But campaigners are dismayed that energy companies will still be allowed to charge customers on pre-payment metres at a higher rate.
