That is what people are after with transparency and people can then see what the price rises are in total even if their individual price rise may differ.

As an example, take gas and electric. My supplier provides me with a unit cost for each service and then applies a discount if I take both as a bundle. VM used to do this and still ought to do the same.

Why would it be the law to list individual items in a bundle? If you buy a package holiday, it doesn't tell you this much for the travel, this much for the hotel etc?

And using the example of gas and electrics pricing as "transparent" almost made me spit my morning coffee.
