Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Minister of Power whether he will give a general direction, in the public interest, to the Electricity Council to amend the pricing system operated by the electricity 242W industry so that prices charged for peak-demand power more accurately reflect the marginal cost of providing such power.
§ Mr. MarshThe electricity boards design their tariffs with the objective of reflecting as far as practicable the relevant costs. The Central Electricity Generating Board has announced its intention of introducing a revised structure for the bulk supply tariff which will reflect costs more accurately to the area boards than hitherto.
