Just hours after imposing a 35 per cent price hike on their cash-strapped customers, British Gas spent an exorbitant £25,000 entertaining 1,000 staff.
The personnel attended a conference in Birmingham, in order to train staff how to explain the huge price rises to customers.
But the managers and sales advisers were treated to a champagne reception followed by a four-course meal complete with free wine and beer.
Jimmy Carr joked while the BBC's Steve Ryder's compered at the party
The lavish dinner was complimented by entertainment and a free bar all night.
Carr even reportedly joked about the price rises - saying he was going to put his fee up by 35 per cent in line with British Gas.
News of the party emerged as ministers were considering a windfall tax on energy giants after the 'big three' made combined profits of £15.6billion.
Soaring bills have allowed Shell, BP and Centrica, which owns British Gas, to make
£1,000 a second for the first six months of the year, a figure described as 'grotesque'.If there was ever a time to re-nationalise it's NOW.
