HC Deb 18 June 1991 vol 193 c127W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make it his policy to introduce legislation to stagger the arrival of quarterly bills for gas and electricity, so that they do not arrive at the end of the same month; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

No. Payment arrangements are a commercial matter for the industries concerned within their statutory and other obligations. A variety of payment arrangements are available to customers.
