- According to an article in The Times yesterday,"British Gas is profiting from the Government's Boiler Scrappage Scheme by failing to pass on the full value of the grants. The company is refusing to offer its usual discounts to customers who apply for a £400 grant.
- A customer adviser at British Gas's call centre said anyone applying for a scrappage grant would not be eligible for these discounts. "It's much of a muchness whether you go for the scrappage grant or the savings we already offer. But you can't get both."
- According to Mr Brown up to 125,000 households in England will benefit from the scheme, saving £200 to £235 a year on energy bills.
