Pre-Payment Meters (Temporary Prohibition) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would temporarily stop energy companies from installing new prepayment meters in homes. Prepayment meters require customers to pay money upfront before they can use gas or electricity. The bill aims to protect people who struggle to afford energy, particularly in winter months, by preventing them from being cut off suddenly.

Presented by Wera Hobhouse.
