asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he intends that the Bullock Report proposals on industrial democracy will be considered and implemented in the restructuring of the electricity supply industry in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

As the hon. Member knows, I attach great importance to this subject. I cannot anticipate the Report of the Bullock Committee, but I shall, of course, have full regard in any reorganisation of the electricity supply industry to the need to promote industrial democracy.
