HC Deb 29 November 1982 vol 33 c4W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will take steps to secure lower electricity charges for aluminium and chlorine production.

Mr. Mellor

Charges made for the supply of electricity to particular consumers are a matter for the electricity boards concerned. However, I understand that aluminium and chlorine producers already pay substantially lower charges for their electricity than do the generality of industrial consumers.
