HL Deb 09 June 1993 vol 546 cc55-6WA
Lord Brabazon of Tara

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any plans to make regulations relating to price indications given in connection with the resale of gas and electricity.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Baroness Denton of Wakefield)

We have carefully considered this matter. There appears to be insufficient evidence to suggest that there is significant abuse. We therefore do not believe that there is a strong case for making regulations at this time. Nonetheless, we will keep the situation under review and we remain ready to reconsider the position at any time in the light of new evidence.
