HC Deb 29 February 1984 vol 55 cc220-1W
Mr. Frank Field

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether fuel boards are entitled, under the code of practice on disconnections, to demand a security deposit from a single parent before she is admitted to the fuel direct scheme and her fuel supply restored.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

This is a matter for the industries concerned and I am asking the chairmen of the British Gas Corporation and the Electricity Council to write to the hon. Member.
