HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 c175W
75. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to what extent he estimates the December power cuts and working to rule affected production and export output in particular.

Sir J. Eden

While it is possible to estimate the total reduction in electricity supplied, it is not possible to assess the consequences to industry, including the extent to which it was able to mitigate the effects and recover lost output later.
