HC Deb 15 July 1975 vol 895 cc477-8W
Mr. George Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will seek to extend the powers of consultative councils serving the gas and electricity industries.

Mr. Alan Williams

I have been asked to reply.

I have asked the National Consume: Council to review the present arrangements for consumer representation in the nationalised industries. Until I have received its report I do not propose to make any change in the present powers of the gas consumers' councils or the electricity consultative councils.
