Asked by: Lord Bishop of London (Bishops - Bishops)
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the introduction of a universal priority services register for utility services.
Answered by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
The government recognises the importance of identification and support for the vulnerable in utility services. My officials in the Department for Business and Trade are engaging with regulators and other government departments to establish the best way to achieve this and encourage regulators to progress work in this important area.
