4. Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Minister of Power what was the average revenue per therm received by the Scottish Gas Board during the latest annual period for which figures are available; and what was the average revenue per therm received by the gas boards in England during the same period.
§ Mr. FreesonI cannot yet add to the answer I gave to the hon. Member on 23rd January this year.—[Vol. 739, c. 195.]
Mr. TaylorDoes not the hon. Gentleman realise that his Answer on 23rd January was in respect of information relating to 1965? Why cannot we have more up-to-date information available, particularly when the Answer he gave showed that people in Scotland were paying about 18 per cent. more for gas than people in the rest of the country?
§ Mr. FreesonFor figures for 1966–67 I can only ask the hon. Gentleman to await the publication of the Board's annual report for that year. This will, as usual, be in the autumn.
