§ Mr. Cordleasked the Minister of Power why he approved the increase of nearly 10 per cent. in the charges of the Southern Electricity Board, when the Central Electricity Generating Board have only increased their charges by 1.4 per cent.
§ Mr. Frederick LeeThe increase in the charges of the Southern Electricity Board which took effect last April, was on average about 7 per cent. It took account not only of the increased charges introduced by the Central Electricity Generating Board in April, 1965, but also of 245W other increases in costs since the previous tariff change in May, 1963.
