On 5 December 2003, Ofgem wrote to Nicholas Durlacher, BSC Panel Chairman, and Charles Davies, Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC) Panel Chairman, describing the procedure that Ofgem would follow when consulting on a Great Britain (GB) wide basis for proposed changes under consideration in the BSC and the CUSC. Ofgem considers that it is generally appropriate to consult on BSC and CUSC change proposals on a GB wide basis following the Second Reading of the Energy Bill which introduces the British Electricity Transmission and Trading Arrangements (BETTA).
