Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the Retained EU Law Bill, whether he plans to (a) revoke, (b) retain or (c) replace the Gas (Meters) Regulations 1983.

The Gas (Meters) Regulations 1983 set out the limits of meter accuracy for gas meters approved under GB national legislation and prescribe the process for the re-examination of all disputed meters.

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is reviewing all REUL in line with usual policy development to determine whether to repeal, replace or preserve it.

The Government will continue to ensure that only accurate gas meters are placed on the market in the United Kingdom and that market surveillance authorities have the necessary enforcement powers.
