HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 c795W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what progress has been made with the electricity industry's trials of self-cancelling token meters.

Dr. John Cunningham

Trials to test consumer reaction to the use of token meters are continuing. The results will be made available to the Policy Studies Institute, which has been appointed as consultant by the gas and electricity industries and consumer councils to carry out a longer term review of the code of practice on payment of domestic electricity and gas bills.
