§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Minister of Power what consultations have taken place between himself and the area electricity boards on the desirability of maintaining the price of electricity to domestic and industrial consumers throughout the United Kingdom as uniform as possible; and to what extent it has proved possible to keep such prices uniform.
§ Mr. PeytonNone. Each area electricity board is responsible for fixing its tariffs after consulting its area consultative council, and the Electricity Council. In 1962–63 the average revenue per unit in England and Wales was l.579d. with a range between area boards of l.453d. to l.874d. for domestic consumers, and 1.181d. to l.784d. for industrial consumers.
