HC Deb 10 May 1971 vol 817 c4W
38. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will direct the gas boards to discontinue the practice of making a charge for emergency services.

Mr. Ridley

No. This is a matter for which the area gas boards are responsible. I am asking the Chairman of the Gas Council to explain to the hon. Member their policies and practice.
