Proceeding contribution from Graham P Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill (HL).
Energy Bill [Lords]
I am concerned that some people with prepayment meters will not be able to switch to direct debit. What is the hon. Gentleman's view on prepayment meters? People will load up and pay heavily on the meter in the winter, but budget and save in the summer. Under the green deal, payment rates will now differ, however. By the end of the summer, people may have a backlog in what is effectively a standing charge on the green deal.
