Description
A clip from Martin Lewis' evidence to MPs on energy, broadband and water regulation.
Martin told the committee that across the energy, telecoms and water industries, "there's still a huge amount of confusion", for both vulnerable and non-vulnerable consumers. For example, he explained, different water companies set different eligibility criteria for financial help – some based on income, and others based on benefits. This makes giving people guidance on whether they could be eligible needlessly tricky, he told MPs.
