HC Deb 08 February 1979 vol 962 cc248-9W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether a start has now been made on the independent study of the industries' code of practice on payment of domestic electricity and gas bills, referred to in his statement of 13 December 1978.

Dr. John Cunningham

I am pleased to say that following further consultations between all the interested parties the Policy Studies Institute has been appointed by the co-sponsors of this study—the gas and electricity industries and consumer councils—to carry out this work. It will be starting forthwith.
