Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of removing gas meter installations from the smart meters implementation programme; and the effect of the removal of those installations on dual fuel energy tariffs.
We have made no such assessment as there is a compelling case for including gas meters in the roll-out of smart meters across Great Britain as set out in our latest Cost Benefit Analysis.
