It seems there is a concerted attempt for the government to put as much distance as possible between the MOJ and the furore created by the entry warrants scandal. To keep this post short and sharp I have copied below some parliamentary answers to questions raised yesterday. Please note in particular the link to Ofgem`s Gas and Electricity Codes of Practice for Domestic Suppliers in the first reply.
Compare that very length document with the Best Practice Guide for magistrates which became standard practice at my court a decade ago. This relied on the magistrate(s) asking the right questions at the right time after the applicant had taken an oath. That Guide was to the point and covered virtually all the grounds to sniff out occasions and individuals where disconnection and PAYG meters were not advisable. It is accessed in this post of 27/5/2015. Note a common theme:- B L A M E is diverted from where it originated.......deep in the bowels of Petty France.
