HC Deb 12 January 1976 vol 903 c3W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what progress is being made in the installation of gas and electricity meters using tokens as payments from retirement pensioner consumers.

Mr. Eadie

The Electricity Council has now made a full interim assessment of these meters and sets out its findings in a letter to Mr. Michael Young, Chairman of the National Consumer Council. With his agreement I am placing a copy in the Library. As the report notes, the development is still at an early stage, but merits continuing study.
