HC Deb 25 January 1971 vol 810 cc20-1W
Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will issue a general direction to the Central Electricity Generating Board to halt widespread reorganisation of its managerial arrangements for engineering design, construction and operations, in view of the upset in the work and lives of its staff, until Her Majesty's Government has decided on and announced its legislative proposals for the reorganisation of the electricity supply industry.

Mr. Ridley

No. The question of what arrangements they make for discharging present statutory responsibilities is best left to them as a matter of day-to-day management.
