Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Prices.
Energy Prices
Following up on the Secretary of State's answer to the hon. Member for Wells (Tessa Munt), I note that Ofgem stated in its briefing for the debate:"““The number of gas and electricity customers paying by prepayment meters has increased compared to the same quarter in 2010, by 6% and 4% respectively””." Those are worrying statistics indicating that people are moving to prepayment meters and falling through the gaps despite the Government's attempt to contact them and get them on to cheaper tariffs.
