HC Deb 13 May 1988 vol 133 c287W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy, pursuant to his Answer of 9 May,Official Report, columns 3–4, if he will specify to whom he was referring when he stated that there are many people in the electricity supply industry whose knowledge of transmission is as extensive as Lord Marshall's but who do not share his views on the future structure and ownership of the national grid.

Mr. Parkinson

There is widespread support for the Government's proposals in the electricity supply industry, but it would be invidious and inappropriate to single out individuals.
