8:36Now PlayingAs households brace for an 'awful April' of bills increases, Andrew Marr is joined by founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, Martin Lewis.
'We always have April peeing down on the nation's finances, but this time water bills is the really big one.'
When discussing rising water bills, Lewis said that "we have the perverse situation in water of privatisation with no competition - some might say the worst of all worlds."
Lewis advised bill-payers to check if "a water meter will save you" from the full impact of a 26% average rise, saying "if you’ve got more bedrooms than people you’ll probably be better off with a water meter."
Lewis also said electric vehicle owners should renew their tax charge before new taxes come in from midnight on 31 March.
He explained why he blames ‘the last 20-25 years of governments’ for the soaring cost of household bills.
‘Get angry!... It’s outrageous that we haven’t done anything.’
