Scottish Power has announced a price rise of 8.6% in the same week as being hit by a penalty for its sales tactics.

The company will increase gas prices by 8.5% and electricity prices by 9% from 6 December, it has announced.

The move comes amid political wrangling over the issue of energy bills, with the government planning to review the green levies that form part of a bill.

On Monday, Scottish Power was hit by an £8.5m penalty for misleading doorstep and telephone sales.
