HC Deb 23 March 1981 vol 1 c245W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the cost to public funds will be of bringing Northern Ireland electricity tariffs more closely into line with those in England and Wales.

Mr. Adam Butler

We are currently examining how best to achieve the objective of bringing Northern Ireland electricity tariffs more closely into line with those in England and Wales. Until this work has been completed there is nothing further I can usefully add to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in Belfast on 5 March 1981.
