English: Last month, prior to your 31 January and 2 February letters to the UK Government and before The Times investigation revealed British Gas routinely sending debt collectors to break into customers' homes and force-fit prepayment meters, even when they're known to have extreme vulnerabilities, the then UK business Secretary Grant Shapps wrote to energy suppliers, stating that they should stop forcing vulnerable customers onto prepayment meters and that they should make greater efforts to help those struggling to pay their bills. He called for the urgent publication of the energy suppliers' recent investigation into vulnerable customers, and the release of data on applications suppliers had made to forcibly install meters. Last week, Ofgem asked energy companies to suspend the forced installation of prepayment meters, and on Monday, Lord Justice Edis ordered magistrates' courts in England and Wales to stop authorising warrants for energy firms to forcibly install prepayment meters with immediate effect. On the same day, the UK energy Minister, Graham Stuart, met the boss of Ofgem and told him that the UK Government expected strong and immediate action where suppliers fall short of their obligations. In light of your call for an outright ban, what consideration have you given to concerns of a consequent increase in bailiff action, which I believe is the only thing that's held the UK Government back? And how will you work with British Gas to promote their ring-fenced prepayment customer support fund, targeted to help prepayment and vulnerable customers, who must apply, nonetheless, for this? Thank you.
Welsh: Fis diwethaf, cyn eich llythyrau ar 31 Ionawr a 2 Chwefror i Lywodraeth y DU a chyn i ymchwiliad The Times ddatgelu bod Nwy Prydain yn anfon casglwyr dyledion fel mater o drefn i dorri i mewn i gartrefi cwsmeriaid a gosod mesuryddion rhagdalu gorfodol, hyd yn oed pan oeddent yn ymwybodol eu bod yn hynod agored i niwed, ysgrifennodd Grant Shapps, Ysgrifennydd busnes y DU ar y pryd, at gyflenwyr ynni i ddatgan y dylent roi'r gorau i osod mesuryddion rhagdalu gorfodol yng nghartrefi cwsmeriaid agored i niwed ac y dylent wneud mwy o ymdrech i helpu'r rheini sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd talu eu biliau. Galwodd am gyhoeddi ymchwiliad diweddar y cyflenwyr ynni i gwsmeriaid agored i niwed ar unwaith, a rhyddhau data ar y ceisiadau a wnaed gan gyflenwyr i osod mesuryddion gorfodol. Yr wythnos diwethaf, gofynnodd Ofgem i gwmnïau ynni roi'r gorau dros dro i osod mesuryddion rhagdalu gorfodol, a ddydd Llun, gorchmynnodd yr Arglwydd Ustus Edis lysoedd ynadon yng Nghymru a Lloegr i roi'r gorau ar unwaith i awdurdodi gwarantau i gwmnïau ynni osod mesuryddion rhagdalu gorfodol. Ar yr un diwrnod, cyfarfu Gweinidog ynni y DU, Graham Stuart, â phennaeth Ofgem a dweud wrtho fod Llywodraeth y DU yn disgwyl camau gweithredu cryf ac ar unwaith pan na fydd cyflenwyr yn cyflawni eu rhwymedigaethau. Yn sgil eich galwad am waharddiad llwyr, pa ystyriaeth rydych wedi'i rhoi i bryderon ynghylch cynnydd dilynol mewn gweithredu gan feilïaid, sef yr unig beth sydd, yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf, wedi dal Llywodraeth y DU yn ôl? A sut y byddwch yn gweithio gyda Nwy Prydain i hyrwyddo eu cronfa gymorth a glustnodwyd ar gyfer cwsmeriaid ar fesuryddion rhagdalu, ac a dargedwyd i helpu cwsmeriaid ar fesuryddion rhagdalu a chwsmeriaid sy'n agored i niwed, sydd er hynny'n gorfod gwneud cais amdano? Diolch.
