HC Deb 05 March 1990 vol 168 c471W
Mr. Barron

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he has any information on how many one-parent families have had their electricity or gas supplies cut off for not paying their bills.

Mr. Wakeham

I have no information on the numbers of one-parent families that have had their gas or electricity supplies disconnected. However, the numbers of gas and electricity disconnections are now at the lowest levels since records were first kept.
