Fuel Costs

HC Deb 10 December 1968 vol 775 cc66-7W

Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on the recent representations made to him by the Trades Union Congress for an independent inquiry into the fuel and power industries.

Mr. Mason

The reasons why I am not setting up an outside inquiry into fuel costs are set out in my letter to the Chairman of the Select Committee on Science and Technology of 27th November which, together with the Committee's observations, is available to hon. Members as a House of Commons Paper (H/C 40, Session 1968–69).
