§ Ms BuckTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to publish the standard licence conditions for gas and electricity licences. [155950]
§ Mr. HainThe final draft of the standard licence conditions for gas and electricity have been published today. Following the two consultations which were undertaken last year, I am inviting final comments— particularly on drafting—from all interested parties by the end of April.
It is currently planned that the standard licence conditions should be formally determined in May, and should come into effect shortly afterwards.
