§ LORD AVEBURYasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish a table showing the estimated maximum simultaneous demand on the C.E.G.B. system in each of the years from 1974 940WA to 1990, and the output capacity of the plant required to be in commission in each of those years to meet those estimates.
THE EARL of GOWRIEThe load forecast adopted by industry in 1973 is under review. I cannot at this point anticipate the results of current studies of changing energy prospects and their impact on electricity demand and the plant needed to meet it.
