HC Deb 18 February 1969 vol 778 c64W
57. Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the fact that a number of local authorities have incorporated provisions in their private Bills to facilitate the introduction of district heating, if he will introduce legislation to give these powers on a national basis.

Mr. MacColl

Most of the district heating schemes of local authorities can be undertaken within their existing powers, and my right hon. Friend has no present proposals for legislation.
