HC Deb 19 June 1984 vol 62 c147W
Mr. Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what information he has as to the projected annual growth in electricity demand in Scotland for the years 1984 to 1989 inclusive; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Allan Stewart

The preparation of demand forecasts is a matter for the Scottish electricity boards. I understand that their latest forecasts envisage an average annual growth in demand of about 1¼ per cent. over the period in question.
