|
| |
| | To move the following Amendment to the Bill in lieu of the Lords Amendment:— |
|
| | |
| Page 5, line 38, at end insert the following new Clause— |
|
| | | “Protection for domestic customers after termination of tariff cap conditions |
|
| | (1) | Before the tariff cap conditions have ceased to have effect as provided by section |
|
| | 8, and afterwards at such intervals as the Authority considers appropriate, the |
|
| | Authority must carry out a review into— |
|
| | (a) | the pricing practices of holders of supply licences for the supply of gas |
|
| | and electricity under domestic supply contracts, and |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| | (b) | whether there are categories of domestic customers paying, or who may |
|
| | in the future pay, standard variable and default rates for whom protection |
|
| | against excessive charges should be provided. |
|
| | (2) | Such a review must, among other things, consider— |
|
| | (a) | whether there are domestic customers who the Authority considers will |
|
| | suffer an excessive tariff differential where on the termination of fixed |
|
| | rates the customers move to standard variable or default rates, and |
|
| | (b) | whether customers who appear to the Authority to be vulnerable by |
|
| | reason of their financial or other circumstances are in need of protection. |
|
| | (3) | If the review concludes that protection should be provided, the Authority must |
|
| | take such steps as it considers appropriate by the exercise of its functions under |
|
| | the Gas Act 1986 and the Electricity Act 1989.” |
