Mr. Michael Forsyth
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any plans to place a statutory duty on the generating boards in Scotland to produce electricity at the lowest possible price.
Mr. Allan Stewart
I am satisfied that the boards' existing statutory duties, together with the objectives set by the Secretary of State, are sufficient to encourage the boards to produce electricity in the most economic and efficient way.
