Questions that require answers:
Q1)  Are smart meters mandatory?

Q2)  Can I be refused a new connection on the grounds that I do not want a smart meter to be installed?

Q3)  When having a new connection installed, do I have to have a smart meter with the new connection, or can I choose a non-smart meter to be installed?

Q4)  If I choose not to have a smart meter installed, can I purchase a meter that is *MID approved and have that installed instead of a smart meter?
* MID - A MID Approved Meter is a type of measuring instrument that meets the requirements of the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2004/22/EC.
