HC Deb 24 November 1986 vol 106 c12W
27. Miss Boothroyd

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what steps he proposes to take to reduce the price of industrial gas for United Kingdom manufacturers to the levels enjoyed by our European competitors.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Contract gas prices are a matter for commercial negotiation between British Gas and its customers taking account of market pressures from competing fuels.
