HC Deb 18 March 1969 vol 780 cc183-4
14. Sir B. Rhys Williams

asked the Minister of Power which years will be covered in his 1969 review of the nationalised fuel industries' forward plans.

Mr. Mason

The five years 1969–70 to 1973–74.

Sir B. Rhys Williams

How will the right hon. Gentleman deal with the revisions which will become necessary as we improve our knowledge of the avail-ability of North Sea gas?

Mr. Mason

Because I review it every year. I expect to give final approval each year, over a five-year programme, tentative approval for the second year, and then generally for the three years following. It is kept under annual review by myself and my Department.
