HC Deb 15 December 1988 vol 143 c680W
Sir Trevor Skeet

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is the status of Council directive 13/2/1975404 EEC relating to the use of natural gas in power stations; and whether he proposes to seek its modification.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Section 14 of the Energy Act 1976 gives effect to Council directive 75/404/EEC. I understand that, in part as the result of United Kingdom prompting, the European Commission is carrying out a review of the directive.
