§ Mr. BarronTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) when he intends to consult interested associations about the draft formulation of the formula rating for combined heat and power plant designed to ensure equal rating treatment with the electricity supply industry;
(2) when he intends to set out the new arrangements for the equal rating treatment of combined heat and power with district heating as against the electricity supply industry.
§ Mr. ChopeMy officials are in discussion with the interested associations about a formula that will ensure the comparable rating assessment of all generators of electricity, including combined heat and power schemes from 1990, and we expect to announce our proposals for the new arrangements shortly.
