HC Deb 16 March 1970 vol 798 c4W
72. Mr. Barnett

asked the Minister of Technology by how much the cost of calls back in the original estimate of the cost of £400 million for North Sea gas conversion has increased; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Williams

Call-back is an integral part of the overall cost of appliance conversion and was not separately estimated. There will be variations in call-back rate, but these are not expected to add significantly to the total cost over the whole programme.
