10.00 PM Armstrong etc. on Energy Pricing. PM shouts at me when I protest at subsidising big oil users. She thinks that she will solve unemployment by such devices. We disagree! But seems to be moving in right direction. 5d off DERV
coking (foundry) - 15% and SRMC
16.45 Railway Electrification etc - thoroughly confusing.
