HC Deb 03 February 1998 vol 305 c608W
Mr. Boswell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what consultations she held with power generators prior to the Environment Agency's recent announcement of accelerated emissions limits. [25483]

Mr. Battle

[holding answer 26 January 1998]: No consultations were held with power generators prior to the issue of the Environment Agency's consultation document proposing new emission limits. It is an Independent Body and does not necessarily inform the DTI in advance of its consultative documents.
