<p>My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State has written to Ofgem to ask that they
do more to make sure suppliers protect vulnerable consumers. This includes revisiting
their approach to enforcing supplier compliance, as well as the urgent publication
of recent investigations outcomes into vulnerable customers. I also spoke to Ofgem
this morning.</p><p> </p><p>Ofgem is conducting a review that will focus specifically
on self-disconnections, remote switching and forced installations and, the checks
and balances companies have around any decision to put a customer on a pre-payment
meter. If Ofgem find that suppliers have not taken due care in this process, they
will take further legal action against the suppliers.</p>
