HC Deb 04 July 1960 vol 626 c3
11. Mr. Warbey

asked the Minister of Power what is the form and scope of the examination which is being undertaken by the Government into the problem of pipeline development.

Mr. Wood

I am consulting those concerned both inside Government Departments and outside. In the light of the consultations, I will consider what further examination, if any, would be useful.

Mr. Warbey

Will the examination that the right hon. Gentleman is planning have as one of its purposes to ensure that future pipeline development takes place in accordance with a rational plan based on clearly established national need?

Mr. Wood

That will be the whole purpose of the inquiry.
