Paddy Tipping (Sherwood, Labour)
Mr. Buchanan, you gave a curtain-raiser to your appearance before the Committee today in an interview with the Daily Record—I think that it is headlined “Power to the People”—in which you said that customers in Scotland could save £200 million by switching, which you advocate. You also advocate better targeting and identification of customers at risk and better welfare rights advice. By contrast, Mr. Asher, you are keen to see social tariffs, which already exist on a voluntary basis, put on a mandatory footing. Which is the better way to go forward?
