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


Energy Bill

The relevance of smart meters to fuel poverty is the alerting of the supply company to the fact that there is something anomalous there. The supply company now has the responsibility to look after this problem. One of their main concerns—and this is something that the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, has drawn attention to on a number of occasions—is with identifying those in difficulty. I do not think that there is significant intent that the fuel-poverty family themselves have to do anything.
