HC Deb 24 October 1967 vol 751 c417W
Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Power if he will give general directions to the gas boards to arrange special terms for pensioners, people in receipt of national assistance and others of small income, in the provision of new cookers or converting old ones to a type suitable for use with North Sea gas, as this change is dictated by the boards and not desired by the consumer.

Mr. Freeson

Under the provisions of the Gas Act 1948 the cost of any alteration or replacement of burners on consumers' appliances which is necessary when North Sea Gas is supplied in place of town gas will be borne by the Area Board concerned.

Mr. Whitaker

asked the Minister of Power whether he will announce the price of North Sea gas.

Mr. Marsh

Not yet.
