As the Minister of State said, most of our amendments were ruled out of order but what they were seeking to do was improve the Government scheme. As I said, any measures at all that alleviate the cost of electricity where people are struggling to heat their homes are welcome. We thought with amendment No. 4 that those on hardship meters would have access to the same rights and entitlements as all other domestic electricity customers. It is disappointing it was ruled out of order.
