HC Deb 02 March 1998 vol 307 cc460-1W
Mr. Boswell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she intends to make any modifications in the announced timetable for gas deregulation. [31692]

Mr. Battle

The announced timetable for gas deregulation is a matter for the Director General of Gas Supply, acting within a statutory framework. That framework, established by the previous administration, is set down in the Gas (Extent of Domestic Supply Licences) Orders of 1996 and 1997. Ministers have no formal role in this process.
