§ Mr. FreesonThe average revenue per therm in Scotland for the financial year 1965–66, the latest year for which figures are available, was 25.92 pence. This compares with figures ranging from 18.31 to 27.59 pence in other areas and a national average of 22.47 pence per therm. Since then there have been tariff changes by several Boards, the full effects of which are not yet known.
