Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 January 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on State Pension Credit (Disclosure of Information) (Electricity Suppliers) Regulations 2010.

State Pension Credit (Disclosure of Information) (Electricity Suppliers) Regulations 2010

I thank the noble Lord. If the Minister is talking about 250,000 people who are expected to take it and the rebate is £80, we are looking at a budget of £20 million. So, when the Minister says that there is not much uptake, in practice there is a capped budget of £20 million and that is the amount the Government will put into this sector. Have I understood that correctly?
