HC Deb 16 March 1984 vol 56 cc289-90W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what discussions he has had, or intends to have, with the Electricity Council regarding its pricing policies in relation to its statutory financial duties; if any of the electricity boards have sought advice from his Department on this matter; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

None of the boards nor the Electricity Council have sought advice from my Department on this matter. I shall be having discussions during the coming months with the chairman of the Electricity Council on the electricity supply industry's future financial targets and related matters.
