HC Deb 29 March 1982 vol 21 c1W
14. Dr. McDonald

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will introduce legislation to increase the power of nationalised industry consumer councils to comment on energy price increases.

Dr. Vaughan

I shall be reviewing this and other aspects of the councils' work in the light of responses to our recent consultative document on NICC reform. Over 250 responses have been received so far.
