HC Deb 10 December 1968 vol 775 c63W
35. Mr. Alison

asked the Minister of Power whether he will make a statement on the planned reorganisation of the gas industry.

Mr. Mason

The Government's policy for the reorganisation of the gas industry remains as announced by my right hon. Friend the Member for Southwark (Mr. Gunter) on 22nd May [Vol. 765, c. 549]. A Bill to strengthen the powers and duties of the Gas Council, and to give it full financial responsibility for the industry and control over the development of its nation-wide policies, will be introduced as soon as Parliamentary time permits.
