§ Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what grant or other aid is available for rural householders or farmers seeking to have a main electricity supply installed.
§ Mr. BaldryI do not believe that arrangements for rural supplies require financial assistance by the Government.
Under the new arrangements for post privatisation those requesting a supply do have the right of appeal to the director general if they feel that connection costs quoted by a supply company are unreasonable.
