§ Mr Redmondasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give a general direction to the gas and electricity boards that shift hours should be worked by their meter staff, since many families are out at normal working hours and have difficulty in having their meters read, with the result that there may be difficulty in assessing exactly what is owing.
§ Mr. RidleyThis is a matter for the Gas and Electricity Councils and I am asking their chairmen to write to my hon. Friend.
