|
The UK Government should be prepared to force energy firms to lower prices this winter, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said on a visit to the Highlands.
He said: "Families and businesses are facing a difficult winter - and nowhere more so than here in the Highlands."
The MP was speaking ahead of delivering a speech to Inverness Chamber of Commerce.
The Highlands has seen job loses in the construction industry and potential closure of a fish plant in Inverness.
