Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho has responded to warnings of a Labour supermajority in the general election. "The worry is if you end up with this Labour supermajority as some people are saying there will be, they'll ram through changes whether it's votes at 16, the levels of taxes they want to bring forward and pensions they want to raise," Ms Coutinho said.
