DOMESTIC ELECTRICITY CHARGES IN SCOTLAND

Early day motion 577, tabled 9 April 2001 by David Marshall (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House welcomes the announcement by Ofgem that it is taking steps to introduce the British Electricity Transmission and Trading Arrangements, which are designed to bring greater competition to the Scottish market; regrets that Scottish consumers have not benefited in the same way as consumers in England and Wales; and looks forward to more competition and lower prices for domestic electricity in Scotland, whilst always bearing in mind the need to maintain the highest standards of safety and service.
