Another gimmick from this delusional government.
It will make no real difference and how many people even know what a QR code is? The elderly and vulnerable?
I really should run for PM.

As has been said, it sounds like another gimmick. Perhaps people should be educated in how to understand their bills. Talk about spoon feeding! Also don't forget that everything extra the suppliers are asked to do usually costs extra.Self Employed, Running my Dream Jobs0

It's not exactly difficult to compare energy tarrifs. They only ask for about 4 pieces of data.
Now if they were to do this for car insurance prices, that would be a different story.0 -
QR codes ??? Who is coming up with theses ideas, old people trying to sound hip???
Sounds like a plan developed by people who are completely out of touch. No one uses them. They have a terrible response rate.0 -

Self-deluding nonsense, Mr Davey.0
