The UK’s shadow energy secretary has demanded the government act urgently after a report showed how Drax Group Plc benefited from a loophole in a green-energy subsidy program that he said allowed households to be “ripped off.”
“These are serious claims, and the government must urgently consider appropriate action,” the Labour Party’s Ed Miliband said in a statement. “The Conservatives must explain why they have allowed a situation in which households have been ripped off.”
