HC Deb 11 July 1977 vol 935 c27W
Mr. Stan Crowther

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether the British Gas Corporation is still responsible for the conversion, free of charge, of any gas appliances not already converted for use with natural gas.

Dr. J. Dickson Mabon

British Gas accepts responsibility for conversion of town gas appliances within Great Britain when the premises are converted to natural gas, and for 12 months thereafter Beyond that time it will accept responsibility if the owner of the appliance has moved house from a town gas area or if it can be shown that British Gas missed the appliance at the time of conversion or converted it unsatisfactorily.
