British Gas is set to raise its charges after the energy regulator, Callum McCarthy, announced plans yesterday to lift all price controls on the company from next April. British Gas is set to raise its charges after the energy regulator, Callum McCarthy, announced plans yesterday to lift all price controls on the company from next April.
Mr McCarthy, the head of Ofgem, said that competition was now sufficiently well established in the gas market for there to be no longer any justification for price caps.British Gas, which is owned by Centrica, said it had “no current plans” to raise prices. However, industry observers expect it to follow the lead of Seeboard, a gas and electricity supplier, which raised prices by an average of 5.5 per cent this week.Some reports have suggested that domestic gas prices could rise by as much as 25 per cent because of the sharp increase in oil prices and wholesale gas prices, now around 27p a therm.Mr McCarthy said he did not believe there was any substance in suggestions that gas prices could rise by 25 per cent but he forecast that there would be some upward movement.About 6 million households have switched from British Gas since the market was liberalised in 1996, reducing its market share to 71 per cent, and customers are currently changing to new suppliers at a rate of nearly 60,000 a week.Ofgem has already lifted price controls from British Gas’s 5 million domestic customers who pay by direct debit.From next April, Mr McCarthy is proposing to end the price controls on a further 8 million pre-payment, prompt pay and late pay customers.However, he has also asked British Gas for an undertaking not to increase the price differential between direct debit and pre-payment customers – currently around 11 per cent, or £30, on the average annual household bill.A further condition will be an agreement by British Gas to allow customers who are in debt to switch supplier.Currently, about 2 million customers are unable to change their supplier because they are in debt to their existing one. Ofgem’s proposal, which would enable customers with debts of less than £100 to switch supplier, would benefit just under 1 million households.Mr McCarthy said that preventing British Gas from widening the price differential between various tariffs would benefit those on the most expensive pre-payment terms, many of whom fall into the category of the “fuel poor”.However, Mr McCarthy said it was a misnomer to suppose that pre-payment customers were largely those in the poorest households.
In fact, poor hosueholds had the largest proportion of direct debit customers of any category..

Investors who have met the company during a US roadshow, which ended yesterday, say BT management is fully committed to tapping the capital markets despite the ongoing turmoil sweeping the telecoms sector. In a sign of the tight conditions governing corporate debt markets the new bonds will feature a provision to increase interest yields should the company’s credit rating be substantially downgraded.David Staples, credit analyst, with Fitch IBCA, said: “The credit market for telecommunications companies is bad.
It’s hard to imagine things could be any worse.”Investors who have met with the company say the debt will be offered in five, 10 and 30-year tranches.The tough market conditions will be reflected in the premium spreads BT is likely to offer.The five-year bond is expected to yield about 7.5 per cent; the 10-year issue about 8.1 per cent; and the 30-year issue around 8.6 per cent. That would represent a yield premium to the five-year US treasury bond of some 2.25 percentage points, extending to 3.0 percentage points for the 30-year long bond.Commenting on the state of the capital markets, Graham Duncan, chief executive of Atlantic Telecom, said: “Markets sometimes get spooked by fear and we are in that phase with telecoms. It started with the third-generation auctions when people realised the amount of funding that would be needed.” He added: “Since then we have seen a climate of spiralling fear.”Indeed, with market sentiment so negative some analysts believe that BT has not received sufficient credit for the long-term impact of its restructuring programme. Last month, Sir Peter Bonfield, BT’s chief executive, pledged to raise £10bn through asset sales and flotations of Yell, its directories business, and of BT Cellnet.”The BT story is not as bad as it is thought to be; from a core credit perspective things are looking good,” said Fitch’s Mr Staples. “I would have thought BT coming to market now would be perceived more positively.”BT executives dismiss suggestions that the company might be minded to wait until next year to issue the bonds in improved market conditions.
By January, they said the company will be focused on floating Yell, which is expected to offer about 25 per cent of its stock in February, raising about £1bn..

Beneath us, although it was perhaps only 75 miles at its widest, this parched stretch of earth ran in length for 2,000 miles, from Santiago in Chile to Lima in Peru; an accusing finger pointing at the northern hemisphere.We landed at dusk, just south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Still at around 6,500ft above sea level, the sense of arriving in a different world increased. In the rarefied air of high altitude, our hearts strained to compensate for the reduced oxygen. The journey to the hotel was completed in utter blackness, the van’s headlights struggling to penetrate the gloom. Finally, at the hotel, we were 36 hours, two changes of plane and 8,000 miles from Heathrow.
This really was the middle of nowhere.The next morning, it turned out that a huge chain of mountains and volcanoes, the like of which I had never seen before, had been arrayed to the east beneath a perfectly deep blue sky No lens could be made wide-angle enough to capture it. The farthest peak visible was actually 120 miles away – the elevation and purity of the air enabled us to see so far.Further investigation revealed that there was far more to see in the Atacama than we would have imagined during the journey: prehistoric rock drawings, salt flats and pink flamingos are all possible excursions – as is the afternoon trip to “Moon Valley”.Dropped off about a mile and a half from our destination, there was not a breath of wind or a notch of noise We began to walk. The flat, rock-strewn terrain soon gave way to outcrops of rock, thrust skywards by plate tectonics. Crossing dunes of silver-grey sand and meandering through deep narrow gullies eroded by harsh desert winds, we came to a halt at the top This was Moon Valley.
We had timed our arrival to coincide with the sunset, and the view was unreal Shadows were deep and long. To the right was a razor-sharp sand dune, perhaps 2,000ft long and 600ft high. Directly ahead of us were the jagged walls and vertiginous ridges of the opposite side of the valley. And, at our feet, was a near vertical drop to the valley floor.The plummeting light and fading temperature signalled our need to move on. We took the direct route down, skirting the abyss for a short way before scrambling over a parapet and careering down the soft, yielding sand of the dune.
There were broad grins on our faces when we got to the bottom.But there were more surprises still in this dried out landscape. On that list of excursions from the hotel were promises of watery diversions in abundance: turquoise glacial lakes, powerful geysers and thermal springs We chose the geysers and joined a trip to El Tatio. This is the world’s highest geyser field, at 14,000ft above sea level, but it still came as a shock that the eight-hour journey there involved a 25-degree temperature variation.The contrast of these steaming great shoots of water bursting out of the mineral-crusted earth into a clear blue sky was unforgettable. Better still, though, on the way back we took a detour to a desert oasis to sip cocktails while relaxing in natural thermal pools, surrounded by pampas grass.Getting there To get to Calama – the best-located airport for Atacama – is a three-stage operation. The first two hops, to reach Santiago, are usually most cheaply achieved on Colombian airline Avianca, from Heathrow via Bogota, for around £400 from discount agents.From Santiago, a Chilean airpass on LAN Chile will take you to Calama and back for around £250 return.The ideal place to stay is the Explora hotel in San Pedro de Atacama (00 56 55 851110).
For the minimum three-night stay, booked through the Santiago reservations service (00 56 2 206 60 60), expect to pay $1,296 – about £914 – per person, including transfers to and from Calama, all food and drink and any excursions.

More from Steve Richards. Women are the forgotten victims of war
Women are the forgotten victims of war. In East Timor, wives of the resistance leaders were forced into prostitution by the Indonesian officers who occupied the territory for 25 years.
In Bosnia, rape was used so systematically that the Hague tribunal, in a spectacular break with tradition, has recognised it as a war crime.
All too often, though, women who have suffered dreadful privations are ignored when the conflict is officially over; a Bosnian friend of mine, who runs an organisation set up to help rape victims during the war, now spends most of her time trying to assist women who have been beaten by their husbands, boyfriends and brothers. This is a rarely discussed side-effect of civil conflict, but economic catastrophe can bear down on women almost as heavily.The pattern is repeated time and time again, yet the only people who seem to care are non-governmental organisations and a handful of feminists. Women’s rights are consistently low on the international agenda, even though Western governments are not above using them for propaganda purposes. The Bush administration is dropping leaflets in Afghanistan which denounce the Taliban on precisely these grounds, while briefing journalists back home that women’s rights will not be a major consideration in the post-war settlement. “We have other priorities,” a senior official told the New York Times. “We have to be careful not to look like we are imposing our values on them.” I’m sorry? Is he really claiming that it’s OK to bomb foreigners but not to suggest that they should start treating women as human beings?I’m sick of hearing the old excuse, “But we’ve always oppressed women in Afghanistan” or wherever.
Women should have the same rights as men, no matter where they live. Yet the world leaders who decide these things balk at the idea, as though female emancipation – and human rights generally – are such outlandish demands that they can be granted only when everything else is in place. This is moral relativism of the worst sort, and the left is as guilty as the right. Mention the imprisonment of dissidents in Cuba and you will meet with furious assertions that Fidel Castro has provided jolly good hospitals; vaccination programmes first, freedom of speech later, is the squalid message.A similar set of priorities is currently being proposed for Afghanistan, so the new report by Human Rights Watch on life under the Taliban is a timely reminder of why it isn’t acceptable. It documents the surreal experience of a surgeon, Dr Amna Atmar. One of a handful of women doctors who are still allowed to practise in Afghanistan, Dr Atmar describes how she was harangued, in the middle of an operation, for failing to wear a veil.

Hyypia knew that it was an area Benitez aimed to strengthen from the moment he returned to training after Liverpool’s European Cup triumph last May. “On the first day back after my summer holiday, the manager pulled me into his office and said he was going to get someone in as competition for me and Carra In fact he has bought two!”But I said: ‘Fine by me.
“I’m not getting any younger,” he grins, but that statement of fact is far from an admission that he is ready to step aside and allow Agger or Paletta to claim his place.

Noted defense attorney says indictment of Conrad Murray likely.
A day after reinstating themselves via the contentious third-round replay at Worcester, the holders Gloucestershire maintained their defence of the NatWest Trophy with a victory here that Leicestershire will regard as inexplicable.
Following a magnificent 72 from Darren Maddy, Leicestershire appeared to have a quarter-final ticket in their pocket only to find it cancelled in dramatic and embarrassing fashion. They needed only 20 from five overs with five wickets left, but they lost all they had in hand in the space of 18 balls – for just nine runs.This was in part down to the bowling of Ian Harvey, who claimed three of those wickets, but owed more to some splendid catching. But mostly it is down to this Gloucestershire team’s conviction after winning three consecutive one-day finals that no demand is beyond them in cup cricket, even without both their captain, Mark Alleyne, and his deputy, Tim Hancock, both missing through injury.Maddy, after five fours and two sixes, fell first, snapped up at ankle height by the man of the match Kim Barnett at mid-wicket. That was followed instantly by Jon Dakin’s dismissal first ball when he was trapped by Harvey’s slower delivery and then, two runs later, by the demise of Neil Burns, leg before to James Averis.In the 48th over, 10 still needed, Anil Kumble fell to the second of the critical catches when Chris Taylor waited what seemed an age to hold a towering blow at mid-off, after which Martyn Ball held on to a stunner to match Barnett’s when Chris Lewis slashed to point.It was a dreadful collapse, although just as critical in the event were two catches Leicestershire dropped before Barnett – whose 86 off 131 balls was the foundation of Gloucestershire’s 210 on a grudging pitch – had reached double figures.Vince Wells, Leicestershire’s captain, was the initial culprit, spilling a routine chance at first slip when the former Derbyshire opener had made only one, although the responsibility became a shared one when Neil Burns failed to scoop up a low edge when Barnett was on nine Gloucestershire now face Northamptonshire at home..

Yesterday he caught Yorkshire with their pants down as he made a fine impression on his NatWest Trophy debut in this fourth-round tie by helping to steer Northamptonshire into the quarter-finals, where they will meet Gloucestershire at Bristol at the end of this month.They may have owed this comprehensive and ultimately easy victory to teamwork, but it was Strong who kick-started it all. He was surplus to requirements at Sussex where he had played two first-class matches and three times in the Sunday League.Northamptonshire signed Strong in the winter and, after winning the man-of-the-match award for his remarkable figures of 7-3-10-3, he is almost certain to add to his first team appearances.History dictated that Yorkshire might struggle – they have now lost all four matches in this competition to Northamptonshire and on two of those occasions the victors have gone on to make final appearances – in 1992 (when they won) and again in 1995 – and Strong made sure of it by dismissing three of Yorkshire’s top order in 20 deliveries.Gary Fellows was bowled by a full-length ball, Richard Blakey edged behind and then came the prized wicket of the Australian Darren Lehmann, whose blistering square drive went straight to Graeme Swann at point.The good work was continued by Tony Penberthy and Swann, who accounted for a further five wickets and, despite an entertaining and battling half century from Anthony McGrath and a rather scratchy offering from captain David Byas, Yorkshire fell well short of what had seemed an achievable target.Strong had done it with the ball but the strong-arm stuff with the bat which set up the total came from David Sales and the captain Matthew Hayden. They piled up 108 runs for the third wicket, each reaching half centuries – a second successive one in the competition for Hayden.The Australian brought up his 50 with a six over long-on courtesy of an over-pitched delivery from Gavin Hamilton, who finished with creditable figures of 3 for 39, before perishing when Byas hung on to a stinging cut. Sales followed shortly after, the second of Lehmann’s three wickets.The Northamptonshire cause rather fell away after that as Darren Gough mopped up the innings with four wickets in eight balls to leave Yorkshire with a challenging, but gettable total, only to find themselves undone by some Strong stuff..

Arsenal’s ever-growing rosta of imports could well be further expanded by the arrival of the French international Sylvain Wiltord, one of the new European champions’ goalscorers in their final defeat of Italy last Sunday. “The situation looks quite good at the moment,” Wiltord’s agent, Giselaine Dugueteroux, said.Nick Barmby’s stock continued to rise yesterday, with Manchester United now interested in signing Everton’s England international, and hoping to outbid Liverpool for the former Tottenham player’s services. Walter Smith, the Goodison club’s manager, said that his United counterpart, Sir Alex Ferguson, hopes he can persuade Barmby to join the Premiership champions.”There has not been any contact from Liverpool since last week, but Sir Alex Ferguson has called,” Smith confirmed. “He told me he was interested in Nick Barmby and wanted to be kept informed.”Celtic’s new manager, Martin O’Neill, will attempt to fend off the interest of his former club, Leicester City, with an offer of £2.5m for the Aston Villa midfielder Alan Thompson.Villa, meanwhile, are trying to finalise the sale of the midfielder Mark Draper to Southampton for £1.5m.

The bond underwriting business also shrank after a boom year in 1993 when corporate borrowers rushed to issue fixed-rate bonds and take advantage of very low interest rates.A particularly severe example of the drop in underwriting business is apparent in issues for Latin-American borrowers, where Salomon has been a market leader.During the second quarter there were only 11 Latin-American offerings, raising a total of dollars 1.3bn, compared with 49 offerings raising dollars 5.7bn in the first quarter.Losses at Salomon Brothers will be partly offset by good results at the Phibro division, the company’s commodity trading business.

Furthermore, residual values of diesel cars is still generally higher than those for equivalent petrol models.And the final advantage is that despite the lack of a clear differential between petrol and diesel prices at the pumps, diesels have the undoubted built-in advantage of inherently superior fuel consumption – so less has to be spent at the filling station for a given mileage.The message is getting across to increasing numbers of people, but perhaps most crucial of all to the inexorable rise in diesel sales is the rapidly growing acceptance of diesels in the all-important fleet sector.
