30. Miss Quennell

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what machinery is available either to or in his Department to record variations in the charges made to private users of essential public utility services.

Mr. William Rodgers

I would refer the hon. Member to the recent White Paper (Cmnd. 2808) outlining the arrangements under which the Government receive advance notification of increases in prices and charges from private and nationalised industry.
