HC Deb 13 May 1986 vol 97 c403W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will review the powers of entry to private property by gas boards; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The gas industry's rights of entry for disconnection purposes have been thoroughly reviewed and will be carried forward into the Gas Bill. They maintain the safeguards contained in the Rights of Entry' (Gas and Electricity) Boards Act 1954.
