HC Deb 11 February 1985 vol 73 c2W
Mr. Key

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list his powers in relation to electricity boards' policy making with particular respect to pricing policy and private and commercial consumer tariffs.

Mr. Goodlad

I have no statutory powers over electricity prices. Electricity boards set their own tariffs in accordance with statutory provisions and taking into account the financial framework within which they operate.
