Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Energy Providers.
Energy Providers
A moment or two ago, we heard the Liberal Democrats' suggestion for an upgrade to smart meters that would allow meters to select a tariff. Does my hon. Friend, like me, think that that suggests computers that track shares in stock exchanges, which then cause prices to plummet? The logic would be that everyone on such smart meters would switch to a cheaper supplier, so there would be real instability.
