Speeches by Onn.

“In 2023, the European Commission adopted new rules on access to electricity metering and consumption data. How do protections compare in the UK? Should value extracted from selling customer data be shared with customers?”

“People did have a lot of time on their hands at that point, which might account for it.”

“Pil, how has Denmark utilised the data that it has gathered from its smart meter roll-out, and how has it ensured that the data is being used securely?”

“Do you think consumers understand how much data they are sharing and who they are sharing it with?”

“I want to move on to privacy and data security. Simon, could you advise me on this? Do you think an effective balance has been struck between protecting consumers’ smart meter data and optimising smart meter usage?”

“That people haven’t got them in a kind of dumb mode.”

“Do you know the percentage of meters that are operating in smart mode in Denmark?”

“You have just mentioned consumer benefits. Not having to be in when somebody knocks on your door to have your meter read is one of them, but are there any other consumer benefits that you think people have experienced? Has it reduced back billing and other bill-related issues at all?”

“Are you aware of how active the consumer engagement with smart meters has been from country to country? It sounds as if people in Denmark have been very receptive, but are you aware of any comparators with more or less engagement—maybe because they have been compelled to, versus people who have had more flexibility in …”

“My last questions are for you, Pil, about your experiences in Denmark and whether you have any comparative assessments against other European or international countries. The first question is how Denmark managed to get to 98%; actually, I think our briefing notes said 100%, so you are there or thereabouts. That is quit…”

“The shadow Minister talks about there not being due process, but the Bill talks about a club’s failure being persistent and says that a failure is persistent if it has occurred “on a sufficient number of occasions for it to be clear that it represents a pattern of behaviour or practice.” It is not a one-off that result…”

“We talked about this briefly in a previous session. The requirements in schedule 5 are exactly what would be found in any business’s corporate governance report, alongside ESG expectations. Why should it be different for football, and is it particularly the “E”, the “D” or the “I” that the shadow Minister does not like…”

“The shadow Minister spoke about initiatives that have already been undertaken in football. Clubs have a wider role of community leadership in local communities, and is that not precisely what these rules and regulations provide for? They will ensure that clubs deliver community leadership on things that are important, …”

“Is it the Government’s expectation that financial and non-financial resources will be proportionate to the size of the club?”

“The shadow Minister is talking about growth. Does he accept that growth has been included as a secondary duty in clause 7?”
