Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip – in the Senedd at 2:21 pm on 20 June 2018.
Thank you, leader of the house. National and local press and television will frequently hear about how both the UK and the Welsh Governments are encouraging energy providers to install domestic smart meters in order to combat fuel poverty. Now, I've been contacted by people in rural areas of my own constituency who have reported that installation of smart meters is impossible because of the lack of mobile phone signal, which is required for smart meters to work. Can you outline what discussions you've had with the energy sector on this issue and have you given any thought into designing this and these issues into the priorities for the Welsh Government's mobile action plan?
