Sounds like it's not going to happen.

Has the Smart Meter program ever been compulsary?

Maybe, it's not now though.

My supplier keeps contacting me to arrange fitting, even after I've told
them I don't want them. The Gov's stance now is 'If your supplier tells you
you *must* have smart meters fitted, contact citizens advice and offgem as
this is false, no one has to have them fitted if they choose not to'

If mine does that I will tell them I regard these calls as marketing,
I am withdrawing my consent to marketing calls* and will report them
to the Information Commissioner and see what they make of that.
