<p>The Government considers that it is important that the interests of energy consumers
are represented on the SEC Panel. The current arrangements were consulted on in the
Government’s Smart Energy Code Consultation in April 2012, and were concluded in the
Government Responses in November 2012 and April 2013. The Government concluded that
Consumer Futures, as the exclusive statutory consumer body in the energy sector, was
best placed to nominate consumer representatives for the Panel. These statutory responsibilities
were transferred to Citizens Advice and Citizens Advice Scotland when Consumer Futures
was abolished in 2014.</p>
