HC Deb 29 July 1982 vol 28 c637W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when the gas and electricity industries propose to publish their new code of practice leaflet on the payment of bills.

Mr. Mellor

Following the new arrangements for operation of their code of practice agreed by the gas and electricity industries that I announced to the House on 29 March, the industries have prepared a new code of practice leaflet incorporating these changes. This has been agreed with the gas and electricity consumer councils and will be published shortly. Copies will be made available in all the industries' showrooms and will be widely distributed to consumer bodies. The industries are also arranging to publicise the code in the coming months in advance of next winter. I have arranged for copies of the revised code to be placed in the Library of the House.
