HC Deb 05 April 1984 vol 57 c601W
Mr. Robert Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what studies have been undertaken by Her Majesty's Government to assess the feasibility of private contractors undertaking domestic meter reading for the electricity and gas boards.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

None. This is a matter for the electricity and gas industries. I have asked the chairmen of the Electricity Council and the British Gas Corporation to write to the hon. Member.
