HC Deb 30 March 1981 vol 2 cc15-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Energy why it took until 17 March to tell the hon Member for Newham, North-West that his letter dated 3 March had been referred to another Minister as the matter raised concerning the Electricity Consumers' Council was within the other Minister's responsibility; and whether he will take steps to expedite such action in future.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The Department is currently receiving a very large number of letters. Every effort is made to deal as speedily as possible with letters from hon. Members.
