HC Deb 19 December 1952 vol 509 cc290-1W
Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will revise his predecessor's approval of the general principles for the standardisation and simplification of electricity charges by altering the recommendation that for the domestic tariff the number of rooms should be generally adopted as the basis of assessment.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

I have asked the Boards to review the working of their new tariffs when sufficient experience of their operation has been obtained. Consideration of any revision of the principles approved by my predecessor would depend upon the results of these reviews.
