Clause 113
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]
3:15 pm
David Drew (Stroud, Labour)
I was going to make a speech, but I shall make my point in an intervention. I am intrigued about why we are talking about gas and electricity, not water. My hon. and learned Friend may have an easy explanation, but it is my understanding that it is now virtually impossible to disconnect someone for not paying their water bill. Therefore, I would be interested to know what the differences are. It is still possible to disconnect someone for not paying for gas and electricity, so there is a disparity. It would be interesting to know why no reference is made to water in the clause.
