The rollout will also enable consumers quickly to share their data with energy services companies and switching sites, via the now-live Data and Communications Company infrastructure.</p><p>These benefits have been recognised by the Competition and Markets Authority, with some of their remedies being time-limited to fill the gap between now and the completion of the smart meter roll-out.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/12/2016 11:37:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
