HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 c205W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy to what extent the imposition of a financial target on the British Gas Corporation arising from 4 per cent. to 6.5 per cent. on turnover has been dictated by the existence of a wide price differential between competing fuels; and what he estimates the tariffs of the Corporation will have to be raised to meet the Corporation's financial criteria.

Mr. Benn

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Harrow, East (Mr. Dykes) on 8 March.—[Vol. 963, c.741.]
