HC Deb 03 July 1980 vol 987 c682W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will issue a general direction to the Electricity Council to implement the recommendations of the Electricity Consumers' Council by (a) providing figures showing how long people have to wait for repairs, and (b) providing records of interruptions to the electricity supply.

Mr. Norman Lamont

A direction would not be appropriate. However, the Government are encouraging the nationalised industries to publish a wider range of performance indicators as a check on their efficiency and control of costs, and electricity boards will be providing a number of such indicators in their annual reports for 1979–80.
