To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the privatisation of the electricity industry; and if he will indicate when the flotation of the two Central Electricity Generating Board successor companies is to proceed.

Both generating companies will be brought to the market in the first half of 1991. The precise timings are still to be decided.
