HC Deb 21 March 1967 vol 743 c223W
42 and 43. Mr. Ellis

asked the Minister of Power (1) what plans are being made to bring North Sea gas to Bristol and the South-West;

(2) what are the plans to bring a gas pipe line down to the sea bank works at Avonmouth.

Mr. Freeson

The Gas Council is discussing with the Department its plans for transmitting natural gas, including a pipeline to Avonmouth for completion in 1969. The gas would be used initially in the Seabanks works, but the South Western Gas Board is planning a phased programme for providing direct supplies to consumers.
