§ 72. Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is satisfied that gas supplies are adequate to meet consumer demand; and what firms have been notified to him under his powers to deal with emergencies who have supplies cut periodically to save gas for homes.
§ Mr. Tom BoardmanSome industrial customers have concluded contracts for gas on special terms, allowing limited interruption of supply which it is for them to cover by alternative arrangements. I am satisfied that subject to such contractual interruptions, gas supply is adequate to meet customers' requirements.
