HC Deb 11 March 1981 vol 1000 c338W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the maximum debt currently accepted by each gas and electricity board for inclusion in the fuel direct scheme.

Mr. Norman Lamont

I understand that the industries do not generally impose a maximum debt which they will accept under this scheme, but this is a matter for them and I am asking the chairmen of the Electricity Council and the British Gas Corporation to write to the hon. Member.
