HC Deb 15 July 1991 vol 195 c86W
19. Mrs. Gorman

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the development of new generating capacity outside the duopoly.

Mr. Wakeham

The Government welcome the proposed entry of the independents into the new competitive electricity market. The introduction of competition will increase the pressure on those in the market place, both to produce electricity more efficiently, and to serve their customers to the best of their ability.
