Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Worthington (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.

Unfortunately, the noble Baroness missed my point. Obviously, everybody’s body and lifestyle are different but we go to a doctor’s surgery without cost to receive advice from an expert. Does she not accept that if you place the barrier of an up-front payment fewer people will receive advice? Is there not a role for very low-level but expert advice that can be tailored? Of course, people can communicate their circumstances. They are not incapable of speech. That is exactly what you do when you visit a doctor.
