PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
STANDING ORDER CHARGES (21 January 1993)
Motion Details
That this House views with great concern standing charges being imposed on pensioners by British Gas, Electricity and Telecom, meaning an extra burden of ú190 per year; recognises that many pensioners are already living below the poverty line; finds these scandalous charges a drain on their already stretched resources; therefore calls for the immediate abolition of all standing charges; and calls for the President of the Board of Trade to call a meeting with all companies concerned with a view to alleviating this unnecessary hardship.
