Why are tier thresholds not on our bills ?

Has any one ideas why energy providers (those firms who don't anyway) are not required to put unit/usage tier thresholds on our gas & electric bills ?

They are on my bills (E.On)

They do.
The threshold is an annual figure eg. 720 kwh @ tier 1 for electricity over a year. You will not get a bill which covers a year however (usually), it is also unusual to get a bill covering a perfect quarter which would be 180 kwh @ tier 1 (using 720 annual threshold). If the bill covered 50 days you would be charged 98.6 kwh @ tier 1.
I have had bills from various suppliers and have always had this the same way.

I note my npower bill, on which I had gas usage below the threshold does not specify the bands at all, just lists the lower rate one.

It will always be on your bill if:
1) You are on a tiered tariff, and
2) Your usage has exceeded the tier 1 limit.
