HC Deb 14 July 1975 vol 895 c322W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what volumes of electricity were exported from and imported into Scotland in 1973 and 1974; and what profit or loss was made in each year.

Mr. William Ross

Information about quantities and value of interchange with the Central Electricity Generating Board is given in the South of Scotland Electricity Board's Annual Reports and Accounts (Table 7 of Chapter III of 1973–74 Report; and Table 6 of Chapter III of 1974–75 Report with Account F3). As explained in answer to the hon. Member on 22nd July 1974—[Vol. 877, c.390]—without this interchange Scottish consumers would have to pay more for their electricity.
