Paid helpline for gas and electricity suppliers

Early day motion 1186, tabled 25 November 2020 by John Nicolson (Scottish National Party). Signed by 18 members.

That this House draws attention to the issue of paid helplines for gas and electricity suppliers; highlights that the use of 03 numbers in this context can cost up to £0.35p a minute; condemns this excessive price, as it excludes customers on a low income or universal credit from being able to address their issues; and recommends that these essential helplines are free to use for all customers.
