HC Deb 31 January 1963 vol 670 c211W
32. Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Power what estimate he has made of the percentage by which gas prices would be higher if sufficient margin of excess capacity had been provided to supply all needs during January, 1963.

Mr. Wood

This would be a very difficult estimate to make, but the annual review of capital investment which area gas boards are now preparing will certainly take account of experience during this winter.
