HC Deb 14 February 2000 vol 344 cc366-7W
Mr. Dobbin

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to encourage the regulator to examine the gas industry in the north-west. [109577]

Mrs. Liddell

I have no plans to do so but, under the terms of the Gas Act 1996, the Director General for Gas Supply may investigate any matter that is drawn to his attention by those with interests in the matter.
