HC Deb 27 October 1970 vol 805 c88W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he intends to take following the publication of Report 155 of the National Board for Prices and Incomes on costs and efficiency in the gas industry.

Sir J. Eden

I am continuing discussions with the Chairman of the Gas Council who assures me that steps to secure additional cost saving are already being taken, although he does not consider that it will be possible to go as far as the National Board for Prices and Incomes envisage.
