 SCOTTISH WIELDS POWER IN GAS WARS      
 Gas Wars today switched to the other   
 ind of southern England as Scottish    
 Power claimed to have won ovjt mote    
 than 50,000 British Gas customers.     
                                        
 It is taking part in the second trial  
 to open up supplier to competition.    
                                        
 It sbzs it has lured more than 50,000  
 don  tic customers for the trial in    
  int and Sussex — some 6% of the market
                                        
 It is nearly twice the numbjt which    
 lift British Gas for other firms in the
 first trials in the south west — which 
 led to BG's discount war on "defectors"

 W TCHDO  GROWLS OV R GAS DISCOS T PLAN 
 The gas watchdog is to investigate the 
 selective price discounts proposed bz  
 British Gas to some customers in the   
 south west.                            
                                        
 The n tion l g   giant r   al   t      
 week that it would offer sbvinks of    
 almost £40 a year to customers in the  
 region, where competition is strong.   
                                        
 But the industry's regulator, Clare    
 Spottiswoode, says she is concjrnjd    
 that the dial could stifle competition.
                                        
 She sbzs she is "urgently looking" at  
 whjthjt British Gas should bj stopped.
