HC Deb 17 January 1983 vol 35 c45W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he can now say when he expects to announce decisions relating to concessions against standing charges of electricity accounts for small consumers.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Following the Electricity Council's recent recommendation to the area boards in England and Wales that they should implement as soon as practicable a standing charge rebate scheme, I have asked the Scottish electricity boards to review their own position. I expect to receive a response from the boards within the next few weeks.
