HC Deb 28 June 2001 vol 370 c150W
Mr. Hendrick

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans she has to provide advice to owners of onshore gas processing infrastructure in relation to their statutory obligations to publish their main commercial conditions for access to infrastructure. [1708]

Mr. Wilson

The Department has today issued guidance to owners of onshore gas processing facilities and relevant pipelines to assist them in meeting their obligations under tin Gas Act 1995 and the Pipelines Act 1962 to publish their main commercial conditions for access.

We have also published today the first element of the departmental response to its consultation on "Oil and Gas Infrastructure: Access Provisions and Voluntary Arrangements"; this response relates to the content of the guidance on main commercial conditions.

Copies of both documents have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
