SIR – Once again British Gas announce its profits, this time £2.7 billion, which is sure to anger the many thousands who sit and shiver in cold homes because they cannot afford to heat them.

What is Ofgem doing about this highway robbery? How can they allow British Gas to make such vast profits when we are told our power stations are outdated and we have to pay more to build new ones?

Why are not some of these huge profits being used to build new ones?

Of course the Goverment turns a blind eye to all this, every increase is an increase in their VAT revenues!

Public services should be returned to public ownership.
