§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much electricity is being sold to industrial consumers in Scotland below the current cost of production including sales to the British Aluminium Co., Ltd. with a smelter at Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty.
§ Mr. Gregor MackenzieThe detailed pricing of electricity is a matter for the boards, whose policy is that consumers should bear the cost of supply. Sales of 375W electricity to the British Aluminium Company Ltd. are made under a special long-term contract dating from 1968, and details of the sales are published in the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's annual report.
