Outlaw fixed term conditions in domestic uitility contracts

Additional Information

Utility contracts are those providing utilities to domestic properties and include gas electricity oil telephone water sewerage etc.

Increasingly suppliers use attractive initial prices to tie customers in to long term contracts typically 12 or more months.

These contracts inhibit customers from freely switching to the best available prices at any time. They are against free competition and transparency in the domestic utilities market contrary to stated government policy.

The proposal to counter this is to make any fixed term conditions contained in contracts for domestic utility supplies unenforcible.
