Which? Consumer Champion Survey



In tune with Chris Huhne’s call for simpler tariffs, consumer champion Which? conducted a survey, recently, based on a random sample of 36 consumers, including a solicitor, an engineer and an accountant, who were asked to work out their domestic energy bill using just a calculator and the suppliers websites. Results showed that just 1 out of 36 people did so successfully.
