CONSUMER groups have called for immediate cuts in energy bills following a massive jump in British Gas profits - what do you think about it?

The calls came after Centrica revealed its British Gas residential arm made profits of £595 million last year - up 58 per cent on 2008.

What do you think about the profits made by British Gas? Should more pressure be put on energy companies to reduce bills? Have you been affected by high energy prices this winter and have you struggled to pay?
