Those involved in the alleged rigging of Britain's wholesale gas market will face the "full force of the law", Energy Secretary Ed Davey has warned.
Mr Davey promised firm action if there was any truth in allegations of gas price manipulation made by a whistleblower to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and energy watchdog Ofgem.
He told MPs: "I see it as my job to protect consumers, not least the most vulnerable who can suffer the most when markets are abused."
