HC Deb 19 March 1970 vol 798 cc183-4W
55. Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Minister of Technology to what extent the future of the South Eastern Electricity Board programme to make safe service terminals in consumer premises in the West Surrey electricity district has been dictated by shortage of funds.

Mr. Alan Williams

The board's programme to complete work on service ter- minals by the end of 1973 was adopted, I understand, as a reasonable and sensible target after consideration of a number of factors including physical resources, economic prudence and the good safety record of the board.
