The Government of Great Britain will make certain that energy companies align their consumer rates on the falling prices of energy products, Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, announced.

The reason for the decision was the drop in oil prices. British Finance Minister George Osborne will be personally watching over the reduction of energy rates.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer will be examining this question very closely “in the next few weeks” and watching whether energy and airline companies are actually reducing their prices. If oil prices continue to remain low but the rates do not follow, Osborne will “get involved” and officially demand that this be done.
At the same time, the Head of Finance welcomed the reduction in oil prices, stating that its positive impact should be felt not only in the country’s economy, but also by ordinary citizens. Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, supported Osborne’s initiative.
Fuel companies have already begun reducing their prices or have announced they will do it soon.
According to Morgan Stanley forecasts, oil prices could dip to 35 US dollars per barrel for a short period of time, after which they should start climbing again.
