23. Mr. Bob Brownasked the Minister of Power what is the present total demand for gas in the Northern Region and what will the estimated demand be in five years time; and what proportion of these totals is accounted for by domestic demand.
§ Mr. FreesonCurrently the sales of gas by the Northern Gas Board total approximately 200 million therms annually, of which just under one half represent sales to domestic consumers. It is not possible to give a forecast of future gas sales at this time.
