HC Deb 22 May 1972 vol 837 c246W
42. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what consideration he has given to providing that gas and electricity meters should be read by the same official.

Mr. Emery

As my hon. and gallant Friend will realise this is a matter which has caused concern and considerable interest. Feasibility studies two years ago led to the conclusion that the organisational problems and the costs involved would outweigh the likely benefits. However in order to ensure that those decisions can still be justified, I am myself looking into this problem again.
