Abstract

As Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Mr Heseltine announced in December 1993 that the domestic or household gas market would be opened to competition — partially from April 1996 and fully from April 1998 to coincide with full competition in the electricity market. The Government has so far regarded the advantages of competition as self-evident. This paper attempts to assess the likely benefits, costs and risks of this policy.
