HC Deb 18 November 1974 vol 881 cc297-8W
Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what is the estimated increase in domestic and industrial electricity tariffs next year that will result from the Budget proposals.

Mr. Eadie

I have been asked to reply.

Any applications for further price increases in the light of the Budget statement have yet to be formulated by the industries and considered by the Government and the Price Commission. It is therefore impossible to give an estimate.
