HC Deb 09 December 1987 vol 124 cc196-7W
43. Mr. Darling

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he next expects to meet the chairman of the South of Scotland Electricity Board to discuss privatisation of the electricity industry.

Mr. Lang

I met the chairman of the South of Scotland Electricity Board on 17 November to discuss electricity privatisation and other related matters. My right hon. and learned Friend expects to have full discussions with the chairmen of the South of Scotland Electricity Board and the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board before taking decisions on the structure of a privatised industry in Scotland.
