HC Deb 16 January 1995 vol 252 c359W
Mr. David Young

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated cost of repairing damage to other undertakers' cables by NYNEX in the Bolton metro area covered by North West Gas Board and North West Electricity.

Mr. Ian Taylor

Cable operators' streetworks are subject to the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, which makes an undertaker liable to pay compensation for damage caused to another undertaker's apparatus. The estimated cost of repair for damage is therefore a matter for NYNEX.
