LONDON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Britain is having talks with
energy regulator Ofgem about whether a cap on gas and
electricity prices for consumers may have to go up, junior
business minister Paul Scully said on Thursday.
"We've had lots of conversations ... with companies
themselves, with Ofgem, in reviewing that price cap we clearly
want to protect customers," he told Sky News.
