§ Mr. Goodladasked the Secretary of State for Energy what proposals he has received for major investment leading to the extension of gas supplies to dwellings in (a) England and Wales, (b) the North-West and (c) Cheshire; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. John CunninghamThe British Gas Corporation submits its corporate plan to me annually. This includes proposals for future capital investment, the greater part of which is in projects associated with the expected growth in gas sales. As respects the extension of gas supplies to domestic customers, however, the plan does not distinguish between different parts of Great Britain.
