A friend of mine (honest!) needed to move his electricity meter
He spoke to the supplier, who said that he can get any registered
electrician to move it.


What's a "registered" electrician? Registered with whom?

A registered electrician has done so, but of course broken all the seals
I understood that only the supplier can move it - is that still the
case?


It's their property, so I would have thought so.

What rings alarm bells is that my friend said the supplier said it
should be a CORGI registered electrician - I thought CORGI was Council
for Registered *Gas* Installers


It is, and proof that whoever your friend speaking to at the suppliers was
a witless numpty.

I have seen an advert in one of the mags about CORGI applying to do a CORGI
Electrician scheme. In the small print it did say the scheme was subject to
approval from ODPM. Another Part P scheme I assume.

Mind you part P will not allow you to move a meter. Only the supplier should
arrange and do that.
