Memorandum submitted by Mr Ron Flowers
(FP 06)
I am trying to make MPs of all parties and the
Government aware of the fact that a large number of electricity
consumers supplied by re-suppliers do NOT have the same law to
protect them as do consumers who are supplied directly by an Electricity
Producer, ie the "Electricity Supply Act 1989", under
which a direct supplier has to obtain a court warrant before they
can disconnect a supply, also a direct supplier must keep a "Register
of Vulnerable Persons". Neither of these apply to a re-supplier
of electricity. Who can disconnect at anytime without giving notice
or reason for their actions.
May I please ask you to investigate this loophole
in the present act which is being used to harass and intimidate
this section of consumers and therefore give ALL electricity consumers
the same protection. I would be very grateful for any help which
you can give towards rectifying this situation, also any comments
you may have on this subject.
