Current status: Answered by Iain Gray on 30 January 2002
To ask the Scottish Executive what assessment it has made of the impact on its fuel poverty strategy of any price differential of electricity supplied to (a) domestic consumers and (b) non-domestic consumers compared with the rest of the UK.
No such assessment has been made, but I have asked the Fuel Poverty Working Group to examine the matter as part of the consideration of the Fuel Poverty Statement that Scottish ministers are required to make under section 88 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001.
