If a supplier considers a customer’s reading to be reasonably accurate they must take all reasonable steps to reflect the meter reading in the next bill or statement of account. If a meter reading provided by a customer is considered not to be reasonably accurate, the supplier will ask for another reading or arrange to read the meter themselves.</p><p>The installation of smart meters, which is scheduled to be completed by 2020, should enable suppliers to provide more accurate bills, based upon actual readings transmitted by each meter.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/04/2017 08:52:50 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
