HC Deb 10 February 1971 vol 811 c187W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will cause an investigation to be made into the Electricity Council's plans for dealing with the recent power crises, and crises in general, and to ascertain why hospitals have no greater priority than the general body of consumers.

Mr. Ridley

No. During the crisis last December electricity boards wherever possible gave hospitals priority.
