HC Deb 08 July 1976 vol 914 c664W
Mr. Mike Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether his Department has made estimates of the cost in tariff and capital terms of abolishing the power to disconnect domestic gas and electricity consumers in arrears, taking into account the implementation of other measures proposed in the Oakes Report; whether his Department's estimates agree with those of the Electricity Council and the British Gas Corporation; and if he will place in the Library details of the assumptions and calculations made in any such estimates.

Mr. Oakes

My right hon. Friend is still discussing this with the gas and electricity industries.
