HC Deb 11 May 1976 vol 911 c144W
Mr. Terry Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what discussions he is having with British Gas, with a view to standardising the tariffs and standing charges in all regions.

Dr. J. Dickson Mahon

Tariff formulation is primarily a matter for the British Gas Corporation. However, I understand that the last two rounds of price changes have significantly reduced the differentials between regions.
