HC Deb 17 June 1998 vol 314 cc240-1W
Mrs. Gordon

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will make a statement on Eastern Electricity's Eco Power Pricing Scheme. [46232]

Mr. Battle

Specific schemes are for the companies concerned. Competition in electricity supply will provide suppliers with the opportunity to offer innovative tariffs and services throughout the country, including promoting green energy schemes. I welcome the fact that companies are beginning to take up this challenge—in particular those which support renewable energy projects.
