To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what progress his Department has made on switching consumers from Radio Teleswitch Service to smart meters.
Miatta Fahnbulleh
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS), and the activity to replace it, is industry owned and led. Government and Ofgem have been working closely with the RTS Taskforce in recent months to urgently increase the rate of replacements.
I am meeting with Energy UK and Ofgem on a fortnightly basis to ensure the phase out process is planned effectively and consumers are appropriately protected.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
