A LOCAL MP has met with the Energy Minister to highlight concerns over transparency in the sector for businesses.

Labour’s Sarah Edwards has launched a new Charter for Trust after [highlighting issues such as incorrect billing for companies](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/mp-calls-for-urgent-action-to-protect-small-businesses-from-energy-firm-failures/).

The MP for Tamworth – which covers areas such as Stonnall, Fazeley, Shenstone and Whittington – met with Energy Minister Chris McDonald to raise her concerns.

She said:

> “Right now, too many businesses are navigating a system where the true cost of electricity isn’t clear, pricing structures vary wildly and commission arrangements are often hidden.  
>  
> “That lack of transparency weakens competition and risks smaller firms paying more than they should.  
>  
> “This was a really positive discussion on how we can clean this up. I’ll keep pushing for a fairer, more transparent energy market that works for small and medium-sized businesses.”
