HC Deb 06 April 1989 vol 150 c275W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement about the expected price of electricity over the next five years.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The electricity industry is currently announcing its prices for 1989–90. After privatisation, the combination of competition in electricity generation and supply and the controls contained in the public electricity supply licences will put downward pressure on prices.
