HC Deb 07 August 1972 vol 842 cc238-9W
54. Mr. Ernest G. Perry

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how he satisfies himself that proposed new tariffs submitted by the electricity boards are within the 5 per cent. maximum increase limits agreed to by the central Electricity Generating Board with the Government; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tom Boardman

It has long been the practice for the Electricity Council to discuss with the Government any proposals for changes in tariffs.
