HC Deb 11 June 1979 vol 968 c44W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will reconsider the question of providing cheaper electricity to Anglesey Aluminium Ltd. in order to enable that industry to expand.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The price at which electricity is supplied to Anglesey Aluminium Ltd. is a matter for negotiation between the generating board and the company. I would not wish to influence the board to offer supplies to Anglesey Aluminium Ltd. at a price that is not commercially justified.
