Proceeding contribution from Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

All sides of the House have been lobbied on this by the major retailers and suppliers. They cannot decide what to put in until the government consultation, which will decide what type of meters are to be put in, has taken place. Nobody would risk putting in meters that might not meet whatever is set out in the government consultation. The noble Lord made a point about 7,000 units being put in a day. The industry does not think there is a problem with installing all the meters; it is a question of when it is going to be given the go-ahead to start that installation.
