The big news on environment at Labour Party Conference came from not from the fringe but from the podium this year, headlined by Ed Miliband’s commitment to freeze energy bills until early 2017 and Caroline Flint’s to break up the energy companies and separate supply from generation.

Look out for full analysis of the policies announced over the next few weeks. Meanwhile, here’s a list of the policy announcements and pledges made by our frontbench at Party Conference:

• A duty on water companies to have social tariffs to help the poorest families pay their water bills.

• A single brand for rail services, regardless of franchise changes.
