§ Mr. DewarTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list (1) the statutory requirements governing the publication of reports of the constituent bodies of the electricity supply industry in England and Wales (ii) the dates on which such reports have been published in each year since nationalisation, either for existing or predecessor corporations and (iii) indicate, where appropriate, when the reports for 1988–89 will be published.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerThe statutory requirement governing the publication of reports of the constituent bodies of the electricity supply industry in England and Wales are: the Electricity Act 1947, as amended by the Electricity Act 1957, section 46; and the Electricity Act 1957, sections 10 and 11. These reports have been published each year and have been placed in the Library of the House.
All area boards have published their reports and accounts for 1988–89 and I understand that the Central Electricity Generating Board and the Electricity Council intend to publish their reports and accounts before the end of December.
