Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Barry Sheerman (Labour and Co-operative Party), on Thursday, 2 February 2023, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 15 members in total.


Forced installations of prepayment energy meters

That this House notes the energy price crisis facing families up and down the country and the need for urgent action to support struggling households; is concerned by the forced installation of prepayment meters in the most vulnerable homes with higher tariffs and when smart meters are switched to prepayment meters remotely without prior consent; welcomes the decision by some energy suppliers to pause this practice; and calls for a three-month moratorium on forced installations whilst a review is conducted of how energy vulnerability can be reduced.
