Details:
Change was requested by ESB Networks and MCR was approved in

Meter OPs, ESBN has carried out extensive research & can find no record
of dealing with any incidence of this.
ESBN is not interested in pursuing implementation of this MCR.
Approval is now being sought to withdraw this MCR from the Active List.
