HC Deb 15 May 1996 vol 277 c493W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the President of the Board of Trade when he last met the Director General of Gas Supply to discuss the future of that industry; and if he will make a statement. [28559]

Mr. Eggar

My right hon. Friend has not met the Director General of Gas Supply since becoming President of the Board of Trade. However, I last met her on 17 January. I am very pleased with the way competition is developing as are those consumers in the south-west now buying cheaper gas.
